Breakfast restaurants in China

  1. Meiyou Café

    With one of the longest lineages in Yángshuò - which says something at the very least - the Meiyou concocts Western traveller fare and a smattering of Chinese dishes, plus a range of coffees (Blue Mountain coffee, Kaihua etc) and not bad breakfasts. The sign outside saying 'Meiyou Pay FEC' ('No FEC') puts its history in context - FEC (Foreign Exchange Certificates) became extinct in the mid-1990s.

  2. MC Blues

    Whether it's an early-morning big breakfast or an evening dose of music and chinwagging, this remains one of Yángshuò's most popular. The MC Blues Breakfast is a serious mouthful: two fried eggs, two slices of toast, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, chips, coffee and juice. The long and lengthy cocktail list runs to grasshopper; nights draw garrulous crowds.

  3. Yúnnán Café and Bar

    Run by a friendly couple, this not too big, not too small space is a great place to wind things down at night or start things up in the morning. The Western and Chinese stick-to-your ribs breakfasts are terrific. The Tibetan breakfasts will have you set for the long bus rides to Kūnmíng and beyond.

  4. Green Lotus Café

    Its walls covered with the drunken scrawls of travellers, early morning hangovers get soothed back to normality by soft jazz music. For specialist tastes there's a very brief Israeli menu, otherwise it's standard breakfast fare with freshly squeezed orange juice and local specialities such as beer fish.

    Western Restaurant

    Behind the Hǎikǒu Bīnguǎn, unsurprisingly this place serves decent Western food, like New Zealand mutton stew and the dangerous-sounding 'asbestos curry'! It also does healthy breakfasts.

  6. Prague Café

    Heading off for the Tiger Leaping Gorge trek? You can't go wrong with the Naxi breakfast: fried goat cheese, ham and a potato pancake as big as your head will have you all set. Great staff, crowd and atmosphere.

    Kuàihuólín

    Pick and choose your meal from dishes like potstickers and green beans from the servers wheeling around trolleys. They also make decent Western breakfasts (from Y14).

  8. Bar 98

    All-day breakfasts, veggie burgers, salads and pizzas, no-nonsense ambience and pool table.
