Naku Café
Not many folks seem to wander into this casual eatery run by some very shy but very friendly staff. Local Naxi dishes outshine the foreign items: the Naxi claypot needs salt but is packed with tofu, potato, turnip, carrots, broccoli and cabbage.

Xiǎo Tǔdòu
This dōngběi (northeastern) eatery is packed with families, couples and groups of all ages who come for the eponymous potato dish that's anything but small; it's a hearty and delicious stew of spuds and greens in a meaty broth.

Xiao Wangfu Roast Duck Restaurant
Excellently located just north of the Crowne Plaza, this small and homely corner eatery is easily spotted for its traditional portico, red lanterns and white tablecloths drying outside. The duck is recommended and there's a range of pre-prepared chilled dishes just inside the door that makes ordering a breeze - just point, take your seat with a bottle of Tsingtao stout and wait.

Chìshuǐqíng Jiǔjiā
Chìshuǐqíng Jiǔjiā is casual but beautifully decorated and specialises in dozens and dozens of types of bamboo dishes. So much care has gone into the menu and décor, that the unpleasant wait staff comes as both a shock and a huge disappointment. However, the rest works so well, foodies looking for something a little different may still decide this place is worth taking a risk on.

Huīzhōu Měishí
Located on the west bank of the river, this small and friendly family-run restaurant has no English sign, but it's a good spot to sample local Huizhou-style cooking, from stewed stone frog (hóngshāo shíjī; 红烧石鸡) to filling Anhui-style fried noodles (huīshì chǎomiàn; 徽式炒面) and fried meat slices in Anhui style (huīshì huíguōròu; 徽式回锅肉).
