Meida'er Barbecue Restaurant
Sooner or later, Qīngdǎo's legendary kebabs will require your undivided attention, and where better to start than on Taishan Lu - the local Barbecue Street. Allow this trusty chain restaurant to thrust a thirst-quenching beer into one hand and scrummy lamb (羊肉串; yángròu chuàn), pork (猪肉串; zhūròu chuàn) or seafood kebabs into the other.

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.

Ajisen Ramen
A chain that has the nation hopping must be doing something right. Ajisen's noodles - steaming blasts of chilli-infused flavour ferried to the table by black-attired staff - truly hit the spot. Flesh the meal out further with fried dumplings, potato balls or deep-fried shrimp. Pay as your order.

Chūnhélóu
Dating back to 1891, this unremarkable-looking restaurant remains very popular. Downstairs is a busy help-yourself-to-as-much-as-you-can-eat type diner, with a smarter option upstairs.

Wángjiě Shāokǎo
Sooner or later, Qīngdǎo's legendary meat skewers will require your undivided attention, and where better to start than to join the throng outside this street-side stall. Squeeze your way to the front and order lamb (羊肉串; yángròu chuàn; Y2), pork (猪肉串; zhūròu chuàn; Y4) or cuttlefish (鱿鱼串; yóuyú chuàn; Y10). Stand with the rest of the punters by the side of the road, finish your meal and toss the skewers into the bucket by the side. There's a sit-down restaurant by the side for the more civilised.

Měidá'ěr Barbecue Restaurant
This trusty local chain restaurant just off Beer St serves up lamb (羊肉串; yángròu chuàn), pork (猪肉串; zhūròu chuàn) or seafood kebabs. If you want cold beer, you might be out of luck. Service is patchy too. There's a branch in the old town along Zhongshan Lu.

Lánzhōu Lā Miàn
No-frills noodle restaurant run by a family of Chinese-Muslims. Noodles are all handmade on the premises and service is quick and efficient. Order the hearty beef noodle soup (牛肉面; nǐu ròumìan) or just point at what the next person's having. You can't go wrong as it's all cheap, cheerful and pretty good. Bottomless refills of soup and raw garlic (that we don't understand) accompaniment if you want it…just don't forget your breath mints.

Jiāngníng Road Food Street
A small hole-in-the-wall passageway (below an archway that has a plaster motif '1902') off Zhongshan Lu opens up to a small warren of food stalls. While the whole place is rather 'made up', you can get everything from pancakes to barbecued skewers to live seafood cooked anyway you like. Prices are mostly labelled and many joints have picture menus.

Huángdǎo Road Market
A frenetic and fabulous street market chock-a-block with stalls selling raw produce, vegetables and other delights. Every other stall sells food: fried chicken, pancakes, bread, cooked dishes…it's all cheap, so just stop when something catches your fancy. The neighbouring Zhifu Lu has several sit-down kerbside joints serving food and Tsingtao (locals buy it in large plastic bags to takeaway – you can have yours in a glass).

Cafè Yum
Sometimes, you just need a good old burger, or a pig-out-fest at an all-you-can-eat joint. This place in swish Shangri-la in the business district ticks both boxes. Sure, it's a little pricey but service is good and the spread is a veritable feast. As always, we recommend leaving room for dessert. Oh, did we mention the all-you-can-drink beer?

Bellagio
Swish Bellagio serves up excellent Taiwanese cuisine late into the night. There are two equally popular branches in Běijīng, so it must be doing something right! Try the three-cup chicken (三杯鸡; sān bēijī) and save room for the range of delicious sweets. Picture menu. Near the corner of Donghai Xilu (parallel south to Xianggang Xilu) and Shandong Lu.
