    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.
