Huǒgōngdiàn (Wuyi Dadao)
Perhaps famous for its stinky dòufu (tofu; as Mao said: 'The stinky dòufu at Chángshā's Huǒgōngdiàn smells stinky, but tastes great') but there's much else here, from tasty dim sum wheeled round in carts to the excellent máoshì hóngshāoròu (毛氏红烧肉; Mao-style braised pork) and its scrummy pale green vegetable parcels, xiāngjiān sùcàibāo (香煎素菜包). There are three branches in town.

Huǒgōngdiàn
There's a great buzz at this landmark Chángshā restaurant – Mao was a fan of its stinky dòufu (tofu). A huge selection of steaming dim sum–style dishes are wheeled around by ladies who like to tempt foreigners into trying such delights as chicken feet. Make sure to order the excellent máoshì hóngshāoròu (毛氏红烧肉; Mao-style braised pork; Y48) off the menu. There's a less atmospheric branch near the train station at 93 Wuyi Dadao (call (8412 0580).

Xīnhuá Lóu
This long-time favourite is a can't-miss option for local dishes; harried middle-aged ladies wheel around trolleys of cold and hot dishes for patrons to pick and choose. It also does great noodles (from Y7). Another branch is across the way at 108 Wuyi Dadao.

Sun River Dumpling Restaurant
Need a break from chewing chillis? If so, then try this big, bustling place that specialises in the far less fiery cuisine of northern China. Dumplings (jiǎozi) are the house speciality, and there are seemingly endless varieties, including vegie options, on offer. The picture menu has many other dishes to choose from too.

Soul Too
An upmarket cafe serving a wide variety of proper coffee (from Y25), as well as good pizza (from Y45), pasta and tempting chocolate cake, Soul Too makes for a nice pit stop away from the tour-group madness. It's not cheap, but then there aren't many places in Fènghuáng with an extensive list of foreign wines and a choice of Cuban cigars

Night Market
Hands down the best place to eat in Fènghuáng is this fantastic, lively night market. From the late afternoon, just north of the Hóng Bridge, food stalls set up shop ready to barbecue all manner of meat, fish and vegies. Everything is on display, so just pick what you want, grab a beer from the shops across the way and take a seat at the covered tables.

Miáozú Fēngwèi Guǎn
At this amiable village place you can perch on an old Miao wooden stool, fill up on very tasty local dishes and sample the village firewater.
