Dining

Shang Palace

Restaurant Michelin¥¥28.7 km

This hotel restaurant originally served Cantonese fare but later switched to Huaiyang cuisine. Just like its counterparts around the world, the well-appointed room is done out in modern Chinese style. The kitchen is helmed by a formally trained young chef, who expresses his creative take on Huaiyang traditions in his "new three heads": mugwort lion's head pork balls, pig's head terrine with finger lime and fermented sour soup with deboned fish head.

Cheng Yuan

Restaurant Michelin¥¥¥29.3 km

Giving onto a historical street adjacent to the moat, the palatial façade and entrance exude royal grandeur. In stark contrast, the cosy interior is decorated in modern Jiangnan style. The chef and owner, both from Yangzhou, champion a menu that crosses borders, showing Japanese, Cantonese, Zhejiang and even European influences. Standouts include the smoked tilefish uroko-yaki, and deep-fried pork ribs in fermented shrimp sauce with parmesan.

Lao Hu Mian Guan

RestaurantBib Gourmand¥28.2 km

Over the 30 years it has been in business, this friendly noodle shop has fed generations of Yangzhouese with its signature noodles – either tossed in garlic soy sauce or served with assorted toppings such as shredded pork and pepper, pork and vegetables or vegetables and egg.

RestaurantBib Gourmand¥28.4 km

This teahouse occupying the same elegant space as Shang Palace opens daily from 7:30-10am only. On the menu, traditional Huaiyang dim sum takes centre stage, its classic flavours recreated thanks to exquisite craftsmanship. Must-tries include the dim sum duo – diamond-shaped sugar sponge cake with 64 layers, and long-neck vase-shaped jade shaomai stuffed with shepherd's purse and grated ham. The steamed soup-filled dumpling is also stunning.

Cai Gen Xiang Xiao Guan

RestaurantBib Gourmand¥28.6 km

This long-standing restaurant in Yangzhou enjoys a stellar reputation among foodies from near and far for its Huaiyang cuisine. It has moved many times over the decades, before settling in this nondescript alley in 2023. Home-style classics are its strong suit, such as blanched shredded dried tofu in a savoury sauce drizzled with sesame oil. The sautéed pork intestine is loaded with wok hei and the meat is tender while the sauce is mildly tart.

Hu Yuan Mei Shi

RestaurantBib Gourmand¥28.6 km

This no-frills home-style joint has been serving affordable Huaiyang classics for over 20 years, earning acclaim from local food lovers. The traditional lion's head meatballs are prized for their melt-in-the-mouth texture and their perfect ratio of fat to lean pork. The brine-poached goose has firm flesh and robust flavours, as well as a lovely sheen to the skin. The relaxing vibe makes it perfect for a friends' or family get-together.

Shuang Dong

RestaurantBib Gourmand¥¥28.7 km

A quiet oasis in the bustling city centre, Shuang Dong is tucked away in a non-descript alley near the historical Dongguan Street. The restaurant is extremely popular among locals on account of the wide array of well-made Huaiyang fare and local specialities it offers. With its bold flavours and rich sauces, the stinky tofu and pork intestine in sizzling hot pot is perfect with a bowl of steamed rice. Reserve a room for more privacy.

Liu She Ji

RestaurantBib Gourmand¥29.3 km

For over 20 years, this homely noodle joint tucked away in an alley has been building a loyal following for its flavoursome slow-boiled broth, handmade "jumping" noodles kneaded with a bamboo pole, and an array of toppings cooked à la minute. The blanched noodles topped with shrimps, crabmeat and roe are pricier, but worth every penny – a dash of vinegar cuts through the crab's richness and accentuates the shrimps' sweetness.
