Huangshan Restaurant Recommendations

Some people come here to climb Mount Huangshan, while foodies favor the local cuisine here. Hui Cuisine preserves the natural taste of the ingredients and draws attention to both the dish color and oil.

1. The First House in Old Street

People have to wait for their "cue" (queue number) during dinner time in this popular restaurant. Constructed and decorated in the Hui Style, the dining hall and the dining booths are elegant and antique. The big abacus used by the cashier and the Five Blessings inscribed in the bottom of dishes and plates are all a nod to the history. Specialties: each generous offering provided is delicately dished up. Chou Guiyu (Siniperca chuatsi / Chinese Perch) and Ruyi Ji (Chicken) really live up to their cuisine reputation.

Average price per person: RMB 82 per person

Big chunks of Chou Guiyu (fish), braised mao tofu with chewy skin and powdered interior, and shuixian steamed buns with their rich filling are just three of the delicacies served up here.
