Kūnmíng Restaurants

  1. 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.

  2. 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).

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
