1910 La Gare du Sud
Ensconced cosily in a neocolonial building, this place has luscious Yúnnán specialities done up in a classy but relaxed atmosphere. There's an English menu if you ask for it.

Brothers Jiang
A local fave, this simple place has such good across-the-bridge noodles that there are now several branches throughout the city, most of which are filled to capacity at mealtimes. Pay upfront first at the cash register and make sure you get the instructions on the eating process!

Hotpot Restaurant
An absolute madhouse at peak mealtimes, this restaurant will take the very aggressive or the very brave to muscle their way though the throngs and eventually get fed. Nonetheless, with all the slick restaurant and eateries all over Kūnmíng these days, this is a breath of fresh air.

Ma Ma Fu's 2
This branch of the legendary Lìjiāng café is right around the corner east of the Camellia Hotel (and there's a third branch now, north of Kunming Cloudland Youth Hostel). Chinese dishes are by far the best, but most people order Western fare like pizza and apple pie.
-
Salvador's
Kūnmíng today is absolutely chock-a-block with Western-style cafes. Most are perfectly fine, but there's a reason why this one is always filled. Outstanding coffee and a menu ranging from stick-to-your-ribs breakfast through more solid sustenance - even nod-worthy burritos.
-
Wei's Pizzeria
The granddaddy of Kūnmíng's Western-style cafes, down an alley off Tuodong Lu, Wei's has been a sanctuary for many a traveller for good reason: capacious interiors warmed by a wood-fired pizza oven, frosted beer steins, and outstanding food (Western and Chinese).
-
White Pagoda Dai Restaurant
Dai cuisine moves north here, with a slew of fish dishes and, of course, standards like pineapple sticky rice and spicy fish wrapped in bamboo shoots, all in a Bǎnnà-themed environment of bamboo and thatching.
-
Yuquanzhai Vegetarian Restaurant
Trust us - there is actually no meat in the dishes at this fabulous restaurant, but we know you're still going to write emails insisting there is. The menu - with English - is encyclopaedic, so feel free to ask for help (though there isn't much English spoken). It's across the road from Yuantong Temple.

Zhènxīng Fàndiàn
Come here for what China used to be like. No, not the food, which is exactly as the name suggests: local food done right in a simple atmosphere. Nah, it's the stonefaced (nay, utterly indifferent at times) service. A blast from the past for any old China hands.
