Hot Pot
From £ 7.00
6.2 km from downtown
Address: Opposite Meri Holiday Hotel, National Highway 214, Feilai Temple
Highlights:
A popular, simple restaurant known for its yak meat hotpot
Verified user reviews
Located in Feilai Temple scenic area. Came here after reading the good reviews. It turned out to be true. The Matsutake chicken hotpot was very fresh and the chicken soup was delicious. The 188 set meal also included highland barley cakes, oil tea and three vegetarian dishes. It was just right for two people. The hotpot soup base was pure chicken soup, no spicy soup base, but the dipping sauce was spicy.
Yak beef hotpot is a local specialty. Yaks live in high-altitude and cold areas. The beef has coarse fibers, but it is a good thing to keep warm and has high calories. It is very good.

Hot Pot
From £ 7.00
6.1 km from downtown
Address: 214 national highway
Highlights:
This restaurant specializes in Sichuan cuisine and yak hotpot, serving a feast made from select ingredients
Verified user reviews
The inns at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain are all here. Every restaurant looks the same, with local chicken, wild mushrooms and yak beef soup pots. The weather is a bit cold at night, so it is quite comfortable to come here to eat some soup pot. The chicken should be local chicken, and the portion is okay. The wild mushrooms in the soup are delicious. Drinking some chicken soup and eating some hot vegetarian dishes will make you feel comfortable all over.
After living in Lijiang for a month, I was constantly recommended by taxi drivers, B&B owners, and supermarket attendants. I compiled this list of "locals' go-tos":
1️⃣ Licheng Hotel (Heilongtan Branch)
A must-try spot recommended by Lijiang locals, featuring value and local cuisine. Sure enough, I met many locals there, all recommending their aged potatoes and yak beef with garlic sprouts.
2️⃣ Shiquanjiumei Wild Mushroom Cured Pork Ribs (Mufu Branch)
A must-try wild mushroom hotpot! The waiter will help you cook the mushrooms and time them, and the combination of matsutake mushroom soup and cured pork ribs is a true masterpiece.
3️⃣ Zhongyi Market
This large farmers' market near Lijiang Old Town offers an authentic Lijiang lifestyle. You can buy the freshest ingredients and enjoy affordable and delicious Lijiang-style snacks.
4️⃣ Tianyue Bakery
They make their food fresh daily using Queen's flour. The owner says that if they can't sell out by closing time, they'll either eat it themselves or share it with family and friends. 5️⃣ Xiangran Rice Noodles
A long-established rice noodle shop, specializing in local pork and no MSG. The most chewy and delicious rice noodles I had during my trip to Yunnan.

The mutton soup is very delicious, and the mutton has no mutton smell. It really fits the saying that "delicious ingredients often only require the simplest cooking", which is really great.
