Tianjin is well known for its food - make sure you don't leave without sampling some
of its speciality cakes and pastries.
Erduoyan Fried Cake Shop , Beima Lu. A century-old institution that specializes in
rice powder cakes fried in sesame oil. Don't be put off by the name, which means
"Ear hole".
Food Street , off Nanmenwai Dajie. A cheerful, two-storey mall, this is the best
place to eat in Tianjin. With fifty or so restaurants on each level, there's something
to suit all budgets and tastes. Upstairs try the Zhejiang Restaurant for Zhejiang
cuisine, the Suzhou Deyuelou for Jiangsu food, and Penglaichun for Shandong dishes.
There are two reasonably priced Sichuan restaurants, Emei and Gujing, downstairs and a
good but expensive Japanese restaurant, Kobe. In between the restaurants are stalls and
shops selling cakes, biscuits, dried fruit, nuts, chocolates, and dead ducks.
Goubuli Stuffed Dumpling Restaurant , 77 Shandong Lu. Handy if you're shopping around
Binjiang Dao. A famous Tianjin restaurant, this place has grown from a poky little store
to the flagship of a chain with branches in the US and across Asia. There's a dining
room upstairs, but locals eat in the fast-food restaurant on the ground floor, where you
get a lot of dumplings plus assorted condiments, in an airline-food-style tray for a
very reasonable ¥13. The name, which means "dogs won't touch it", is thought
to be a reference either to the ugliness of the original proprietor or to the low-class
status of dumplings.
Guifaxiang Shop , 568 Dagu Nan Lu. Another Tianjin institution, this cake shop is
renowned for its fried dough twists, a delicious local speciality which the assistants
will wrap and box for you - they make good gifts.
Haihe River Palace . This expensive, upmarket restaurant built in classical Chinese
style on a pontoon on the Haihe River, just east of Liberation Bridge, south of the
train station, specializes in Cantonese food.
Quanjude Roast Duck , Heping Lu. A branch of the famous Beijing restaurant. Duck and
all the trimmings for two should come to around ¥200.
Suiyuan , Huanghe Dao. A good selection of Shandong-style dishes for around ¥50 per
head.
