Half a spoon is really the white moonlight in my heart
There are so many Anhui cuisine restaurants
I never get tired of eating this one and I always want to eat it
.
〔Huizhou stinky mandarin fish: Sisters, let me say, it is not appropriate for you to eat Anhui cuisine without a stinky mandarin fish on the table. The 1.8 catties stinky mandarin fish is not stinky! It smells very good!
.
〔Yangmei meatballs: sweet and sour, refreshing and refreshing, handmade, crispy and not greasy, a must-order specialty of their restaurant
.
〔Sweet and sour spare ribs: the sauce is thick and the aftertaste lasts for a long time, the pork is not dry or greasy, I must order their sweet and sour spare ribs every time I come
.
〔Mushroom pork knuckle stew: I am tired of saying it is delicious, the amazing thing about their restaurant is that the seemingly greasy dishes can be made not greasy but only fragrant, and the pig's trotters are full of collagen
.
〔Huangshan knife-cut fragrant glutinous rice cake: the salty and fragrant taste of bacon is completely immersed in the glutinous rice cake, and the glutinous rice cake is eaten with bacon, which is fragrant
.
As a must-eat in Hefei, Banshao has been open for many years. This food store in the quiet environment of Book City is hidden in a bookstore. It is also a literary restaurant hidden in my heart!
.
🌹Store name: Banshao Restaurant
🏠Location: Children's area on the 3rd floor of Xinhua Bookstore, Book City, Luyang District
It was two o'clock when we went there. The chef was about to get off work, but he still made us the last meal before going off work. "Aventure" is our favorite dish, from the color of the appearance to the taste of the interior, it is very good. Secondly, I prefer Li Hongzhang hodgepodge, and my girlfriend likes to eat lemon sour soup basa fish. The most worth mentioning is the environment here, it is really worth coming again!

The tumbler hotel is located on the Huaihe Road Pedestrian Street. The restaurant has a unique decoration. You will be given a small basket and you can put the card of each dish into the basket to complete the order. Each dish will also be displayed in person so you can order more clearly.
We ordered stinky mandarin fish, Li Hongzhang hodgepodge, Jixi fried vermicelli, shrimp and rice crust, loach noodles and cold jellyfish skin. The taste is very good, and the stinky mandarin fish is very unique.
If we talk about a big restaurant that was the smallest when it started, it would probably be the Hefei Boldow Restaurant. It was originally located in Renmin Lane, southeast of Sanxiaokou, Hefei. At that time, the first floor was only a few square meters, and you had to go to the second floor for dining. I went there for dinner with friends a few days ago. Now it is near Mingjiao Temple and is quite large.

[Environment] Blue theme decoration style, authentic Anhui cuisine restaurant, clean and hygienic
[Environment] Service attitude is ok
[Taste] Anhui-style sauce baked reservoir fish: large portion, mainly spicy taste, fish with noodles, delicious!
Farmer's pig soup: The soup contains pig liver, pig stomach, etc., the taste is light and fragrant, delicious.
Huizhou farmhouse dishes are exquisite but small in quantity. There are many ways to pay. I personally think the best deal is to pay with Bank of Communications. Each person can also buy handmade yogurt for 1 yuan. The taste is sweet and sour, but the quantity is too small and I am not satisfied after eating it. 😂

This is an old Anhui cuisine restaurant with quite a lot of people eating there. The stinky mandarin fish is not the traditional kind, it is sweet and fresh, but the taste is really good and tasty. The signature pig intestine pot is also highly recommended. It is handled very cleanly and cooked with a little bit of flavor. The beef pot tastes good but feels a bit expensive. The three hard dishes are large in portion and taste good. It is worthy of being an old brand.
I only found out about this restaurant after being introduced by a local friend.
It has been open for 30 years. It is an authentic Anhui cuisine restaurant.
I even called to make a reservation before going.
It is always packed at meal times.
🥣Beef brisket stewed in soup dumplings
It is really a must-order dish in my mind. The soup dumplings burst with juice when I take a bite, and the soft and tender beef brisket is super tasty when I eat it. It is so delicious!!!
🫓Cured glutinous rice cake
This dish was only available during the Chinese New Year. The glutinous rice cake is fried to the right temperature, and the sausage is even better. You can imagine how happy it is to mix it with glutinous rice cake.
🍃Stone pot kidney bean shreds
The kidney bean shreds are really delicious!!! You must choose it, it is crispy and refreshing and goes well with rice.
Stinky mandarin fish is also good. Of course, choosing crayfish in summer is also great. Drinking and chatting is super fun.

A very, very popular local restaurant, decorated in an antique style, it looks like a large mansion, very classy, all the dishes taste great, and super fresh, the portions are also great, each of us ate fast, and walked with the help of the wall, hahahaha, a great place for dinner parties
The main dish here is the authentic home-cooked food of Hefei. The restaurant is located on the pedestrian street, and the location is very advantageous. The store is very large, and the decoration is also antique. As soon as you enter the door, you will feel like you are in a Hui-style courtyard. Glutinous rice chicken wings are the signature dishes here, which are soft and sticky in the mouth, with a unique flavor; black glutinous rice pumpkin is also a must-order dish. Huangshan stinky mandarin fish, iron plate potatoes and other dishes are all very good.

Hefei Piyun Huifu is known as the "famous Anhui cuisine restaurant in China" and is worthy of its name. It has a unique geographical location, a distinctive decoration style, a complete variety of dishes and delicious taste. It is a great place to entertain guests and friends.
The taste is OK. I heard it is an old store, so I came here to check it out. However, the waiter is too inefficient, and it seems that they are only serving groups or banquets. I went there alone and called for half an hour but no one came to serve me. I even had to carry the tableware myself.

Located on the Huaihe Road Pedestrian Street, it is crowded on weekends. The small stove was very attractive at first and the dishes tasted good.
There are a few special dishes that are popular, such as duck heads.

The environment is very good, the taste is very good, there are many people dining, each person has a big pot of crayfish, one after another, it is very comfortable with beer, it is a place suitable for gatherings, chatting and drinking
I passed by Hefei on a self-driving tour from another place. I searched and found that Apang Lobster was very popular, so I went to experience it. The place was not easy to find (only for people from other places to Hefei). Let me talk about the service attitude. The time I chose was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the service was all chatting. Some of the people on the street were very nice and enthusiastic. I ordered six kinds of lobsters, including golden soup, dry stir-fried, thirteen spices, spicy, pepper salt, and braised in oil. The golden soup tasted good, but the dry stir-fried and pepper salt had no taste at all. The price felt acceptable. Six kinds cost 645, and the lobsters were not dead or alive. I asked the clerk but didn't get an answer. He just said that it sold quickly and had good sales. He didn't answer the question directly. After leaving, I found that the lobsters were directly transported to the store across the road. No processing was done, just take the frame directly. The small cart pulled it over. It was not covered, which was unhygienic.
