Háoxiǎnglái

Dìyīlóu Bāozi Guǎn
Famed for its bāozi (包子; meat-filled buns), this cavernous Kaīfēng institution at the centre of town has been in business for years. With cabbage, mushroom and bamboo shoots, the egg soup (鸡蛋汤; jīdàn tāng; Y10) alone can feed an army, while the xiǎolóngbāo (小笼包; Y12 a steamer), yángròu bāozi (羊肉包子; lamb buns) or hǎimǐ bāozi (海米包子; shrimp buns) are all tasty. Sit back with a Bianjing Old Beer (Y12) and listen to evening singers crooning soppy songs.

Zhēn Bù Tóng Fàndiàn
Huge place behind a colourful green, red, blue and gold traditional facade. This is the place to come for a water-banquet experience; if 24 courses seems a little excessive, you can opt to pick individual dishes from the menu.

Tudali
With the accent on spiciness, this popular Korean restaurant brings out patrons in a sweat. The pàocàitāng (泡菜汤; kimchi soup; Y15) is refreshingly piquant, as is the làwèi niúròutāng (辣味牛肉汤; spicy beef soup; Y22), or you can get your metal chopsticks around a plate of chips (Y10). Handy photo menu and helpful staff in red and black tops.

Roast Duck Restaurant
Escape the noise and fumes at street level for some scrumptious duck in a smart upstairs setting just north of the Tianhe Hotel. Flick through the photo menu, attended to by polite and efficient staff, and watch chefs firing up the ovens through a glass screen.

Night Market
Kāifēng's steaming, bustling and bellowing night market is a brilliant performance, especially at weekends. Join the scrum weaving between stalls busy with red-faced popcorn sellers and hollering Hui Muslim chefs cooking up kebabs and náng bread.

Hénán Shífǔ
Tucked away in a courtyard off Renmin Lu, this well-known restaurant's photo menu is full of exotic-looking dishes, but turn to the rear pages for cheap, tasty and wholesome fare. Try the Shànghǎi xiǎolóngbāo (上海小笼包; Shànghǎi steamed dumplings; meat/vegie Y12/10) or the tasty and cheap yángròu huìmiàn (羊肉烩面; lamb-braised noodles; small/large Y4/8).
