Want to try 34 delicious dishes in Qingdao without any "traps"! Locals in Qingdao highly recommend it from the heart

It's time for the peak season of tourism in Qingdao again. When I read the travel guides about Qingdao, I found many people complaining about the high prices and poor quality of food in Qingdao. This post is here to debunk those claims!

RyunJON Japanese Ramen (Golden Lion Branch)

I recommend trying the Japanese ramen at this place. It's famous for being authentic!

More than cake (Golden Lion Store)

Must try the tea snacks, highly recommended! Each dish has its own unique features.

Cafe Rosso Italian restaurant

Recommended dishes are Grilled Shrimp Cranberry Salad, Fisherman's Wharf Chowder, and Grilled Pork Chops.

The Diner Marina

Diner is a Western restaurant that has been around in Qingdao for a long time. There are four locations in Qingdao, and I love this one in particular. It has outdoor seating with a view of the sea. The menu changes based on seasonal ingredients, so there's always something new to try. It's a popular spot among foreign visitors and will never disappoint you. Recommended dishes include steak and gourmet hamburgers.

COFFEE LAND

American style decoration; the best coffee in Qingdao City!

Chef Wang

Recommended dishes include eel rice and sashimi.

Yan'erdao Road

17 Yan'erdao Road, there are several branches in the city, each with excellent flavors and guaranteed quality.

Authentic Chongqing Hotpot (Yan'erdao Road Branch)

It can be said to be a very authentic Chongqing hot pot.

Da Bai Cai Farmhouse Restaurant

No menu, just a small cottage with fresh ingredients. The seafood is caught on the same day, and the vegetables are grown by local villagers. You must come and try the seafood.

Holy Red Flower Steak (Belle Plaza Branch)

Can see the sea, so dining mood is very good; Inland friends coming to Qingdao must eat more Korean and Japanese cuisine, don't miss the cheap ones.

Heligan

Recommend seafood salad and pufferfish hotpot.

Bai Bu La Mian

Recommend noodle soup, dipping noodles, and fried chicken nuggets.

Flower Field Family

Three-cup chicken.

Log cabin

Recommendations: Stir-fried mixed vegetables, stir-fried rice cakes, grilled pork belly.

Strange coffee

Recommended beef burger, salmon Benedict.

Kai Bun coffee

Coffee is definitely delicious. It's an absolute gem of a shop - their passion fruit soda is only 20 yuan, the salad is only 28 yuan, and the cakes are made by the shop itself - every time you go, there's a different cake. The decor is Nordic minimalist style, perfect for taking photos.

Annan

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

Seven Lord Tea Stall

Chen Xiaochun's shop. Prices are on the expensive side, but Hong Kong-style tea restaurants are not cheap to begin with. I believe Chen Xiaochun will definitely bring us the most authentic experience. Love to eat clear soup with beef brisket.

Vietnamese coffee

Authentic French restaurant, especially recommended for desserts!

Delicious hotpot dumplings

The famous old-brand wonton. I like to eat a combination of egg yolk and preserved duck egg, and the ones with sea intestines and shrimp are more well-known. Around 20 yuan per person.

Wonderful noodle house

The storefront is small, the shop is a bit old, it can be considered a humble eatery. The featured dishes are Sichuan-style spicy intestines noodles and braised beef noodles, served with pickled radish. Average cost per person is 25.

Walnut Music Restaurant

It is a chain restaurant with a nice environment and its own live band.

Kitchen of Paus Café

Cost-effective Western restaurant with regularly updated menu.

East Town Spicy Hotpot

This is the main store. There are several branches, but I like the one in Taidong the most. Anyway, there's always a queue during meal times, no difference.

1907 Film Club

Includes German-style restaurant, café, private cinema. Great place for taking photos! It's also nice to wander inside. Recommended dishes: German roasted pork knuckle set, crispy on the outside and tender inside. The waitstaff will considerately let you take photos, then take it away and slice it for easy consumption. It seems to be around 200 RMB.

Snail coffee

Great for taking photos for girls to enjoy~ Coffee is excellent, and the desserts and ice cream are also amazing. Here, you can always find something you love to eat!

Zhao's beef hotpot

Several branches, but this one is the best. There's usually a long queue by 11:30 am. If you come late in the evening, they might be sold out. The half tendon and half beef tripe hot pot are delicious, available in large and small portions.

Handmade noodles by a skilled person

I ordered a bowl of family beef and tripe soup noodles. It's affordable and comes with lots of meat. It costs 22 yuan per bowl, which is most likely the price in the restaurant.

Old Chef Beer House

It's really a beerhouse that only people from Qingdao go to. I don't know what to film, the dishes don't look good, but they taste really delicious...fried belt fish, fried meat, grilled meat, seafood processing. It's packed by 6 o'clock, mostly with neighbors. Mix some cold noodles, have a couple of drinks.

Stinky tofu in Xizhen

Tendon meat, tenderloin, chicken hearts, streaky pork, kidney... The meat is all in large pieces. If you're from the south, you can order 2 skewers of each type and try more varieties. During meal times, the queue starts at half an hour, so it's recommended to come outside of meal times.

Wang Ji Xi Zhen Barbecue

Open at ten o'clock, don't think about anything else, just come and queue peacefully. After eating and leaving, look at this even longer queue...

Long Fuxiang Restaurant

Delicious and not greasy. If you can keep eating it, life will be perfect.

Dad Laugh BBQ flagship store

Live raw shrimp is a must-order dish, any kind of grilled meat is delicious, feel free to choose.
