Dalian is full of
restaurants
and
fast food
places, especially around Tianjin Jie, where you'll also find cheap food stalls. It's also hard to walk anywhere in the city without running into a
KFC;
the one at Shengli Square is particularly fun if only to see its photos of the Employee of the Month, where a gangly food-service worker is rendered into a pouty supermodel.
Qing Er Jie
has lots of Hong Kong and Shanghai-style snack places, and the intersection of Youhao Jie and Zhongshan Lu features a pizza parlour and Japanese barbecue; both have bright signs in English. For
seafood
head down to the beaches or try the pricey hotel restaurants, but don't miss
MeiTianYuGangJiuLou
(Everyday Fishing Port Restaurant) at 3 Gao Er Ji Lu, near Renmin Square (tel 0411/3643779). There are two parts to the restaurant: choose the older section with the red brick facade. A pound of fresh steamed crab costs A?45, but be warned, you'll have to shell and eat the thing with chopsticks - wear old clothes. A dinner for two with drinks comes to around A?150. There's also the
Charles Ice Cream Parlour
on Shanghai Lu - A?4 for a scoop and A?5 for a coffee - a good place to hang out and write letters, and there's a no-smoking policy. At 15 Shanghai Lu you'll find a branch of the
Haolilai Cake Shop. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
