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!

The dim sum is a must-try, highly recommended! Every dish is very unique.

Kelogia Western Restaurant

Recommended dishes are grilled shrimp cranberry salad, Fisherman's Wharf chowder, and grilled pork chops.

The Diner Marina

Diner is one of the earliest Western restaurants in Qingdao, with four locations in the city, and this one is my favorite. It has outdoor seating with a sea view. The menu changes according to seasonal ingredients, offering new surprises each time. It is a popular spot among foreign friends and will definitely not disappoint you. [Recommended dishes] The steak and gourmet big burger are the specialties.

COFFEE LAND

American style decoration, the best coffee in Qingdao!!

Kaihuo Authentic Chongqing Hotpot (Yan'er Island Road Branch)

It can be said to be a very authentic Chongqing hotpot.

Da Bai Cai Farmhouse

There is no menu. A small hut displays fresh ingredients. The seafood is caught on the same day, and the vegetables are grown by the surrounding villagers. Be sure to come and eat the seafood.

Niudao Red Flower Beef Volcanic Stone Grill (Belle Plaza)

You can see the sea, so dining here feels great; friends from inland areas should definitely try a lot of Japanese and Korean cuisine when they come to Qingdao, it's very affordable.

The coffee is definitely delicious. It is absolutely a conscientious shop. Passion fruit soda is only 20 yuan, salad is only 28 yuan, and the cakes are homemade by the shop. Every visit features different cakes. The decor is Nordic minimalist style, perfect for taking photos.

Annan

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine

Seventh Uncle Tea Stall

A shop opened by Jordan Chan. The prices are relatively high, but Hong Kong's tea restaurants are generally not cheap. I believe Brother Chun will definitely bring us the most authentic experience. Loves to eat clear soup brisket.

Weidi Coffee

The most authentic French restaurant, highly recommended for desserts!!

Delicious Claypot Wontons

A time-honored wonton shop. My favorite is the mix of salted egg yolk and century egg. The sea intestine and shrimp wontons are quite famous. The average cost per person is around 20 yuan.

Miaoyu Noodle House

The storefront is small and the interior is relatively old, considered a small fly restaurant. The specialty dishes are pickled pepper pork intestine noodles and braised beef noodles, served with pickled radish. Tsk tsk, the average cost per person is 25.

Hutaoli Music Restaurant

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

Shao Si Kitchen

A highly cost-effective Western restaurant with a periodically updated menu

Dongzhen Old Hotpot

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

1907 Light and Shadow Club

Includes a German-style Western restaurant, a café, and a private cinema. A great place for taking photos! It's also nice to stroll around inside. [Recommended dishes] German roasted pork knuckle set, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The waiter will thoughtfully let you take photos and then take it away to cut it up for easy eating. It seems to be around 200.

Snail Coffee

Perfect for girls to take photos~ The coffee is top-notch, and the desserts and ice cream are also excellent. Here, you can always find something you love to eat!

Zhao's Beef Hotpot

There are several branches, but this one is the best. Usually, there's a long queue by 11:30 AM. If you come late in the evening, it might be sold out. The half tendon half meat and beef tripe hotpots are both quite delicious, available in large and small portions.

Dajun Handmade Noodles

Ordered a Family Feast Noodle, which is a soup noodle with beef and beef tripe. It has a lot of meat and is very affordable. 22 yuan per serving, it should be the store's...

Old Chef Beer House

This is truly a beer house that only locals from Qingdao visit. I really don't know what to take pictures of; the dishes don't look great, but they are genuinely delicious... fried ribbonfish, fried meat, grilled meat, seafood processing. By six o'clock, it's already full, mostly with neighbors. Mix some cold noodles and have a couple of beers.

Xizhen Stinky Tofu

Beef shank, tenderloin, chicken heart, pork belly, kidney... the meat pieces are very large. For girls 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 Grilled Meat

Opens at 10 o'clock, don't think about anything else, just come and line up. After eating, as you leave, you'll see an even longer queue...

Long Fuxiang Restaurant

Delicious and not greasy. If I could keep eating it, life would be perfect.

Papa Xiao Specialty BBQ Flagship Store

Live marinated shrimp is a must-order dish, and all kinds of BBQ are delicious, just order anything.
