    Dàfāng Sùcàiguǎn

    This vegetarian restaurant near Nánpǔtuó Temple has gone upmarket. Formerly the domain of a budget-conscious crowd, the temple has priced them out with a very wide range of vegetarian dishes including hotpots and mock meat. Try the tiěbǎn hēijiāo niúpái (铁板黑椒牛排; vegetable 'beef' strips with pepper).

    Huángzéhé Peanut Soup Shop

    Very popular restaurant with basic service and seating, famed for its delectably sweet huāshēng tāng (花生汤; peanut soup; Y2) and popular snacks including zhūròu chuàn (猪肉串; pork kebabs; Y3) and xiǎolóngbāo (小笼包; Shanghai dumplings; Y3 for four). You need to purchase coupons that you hand over when you order food.

  6. Lucky Full City Seafood

    You'll have to either be really lucky (or wait at least 30 minutes) for a table at this popular dim sum restaurant. You will, however, leave really full after digging into roast meats, chār shāo bāo and shāo mài; English and picture menu available. Catch a taxi here: the driver will know where it is.

  9. Food Hall, World Trade Centre

    Head up to the 5th floor for this brash, bright and lively food hall crammed with Asian flavours from Hong Kong to Korea and beyond, and sit down with a clay pot (Y15), lamb kebabs (Y2.50) or whatever takes your fancy.

  10. Black Cat Club

    The modern cuisine is quite passable at this posh joint, as is the service. The real charm comes from the setting: you're seated in an old villa decked out in the owners' antique furniture. Dine on a highback chair while admiring the calligraphy on the walls and imagining yourself in swinging colonial times.

  12. Babycat Café

    Trendy cafe (that actually reminds us of Luke Skywalker's home on Tattoine) with a large range of coffees, Amoy handmade pie, Tsingtao beer (Y15) and smoothies (from Y18). Further, non-Tattoine-style branch at 143 Longtou Lu. Free wi-fi.

    Ānjìkèwáng

    This is an excellent restaurant, if a little overdressed, for sampling some of the traditional Hakka dishes, including the lovely kèjiā jiānniàng dòufu (客家煎酿豆腐; soft cubes of tofu impregnated with crumbs of pork; Y22) and the delectable tiěpén jiāngcōng niúròu (铁盆姜葱牛肉; Y38), a sizzling iron plate of beef strips tossed with ginger, onions and shallots. The roast duck and dim sum selection are good options too.
