The most authentic and delicious local cuisine in Chengdu is highly recommended

Someone once said that Chengdu is a city where people never want to leave, and the most attractive thing about it is its food. Here are a few authentic Chengdu restaurants that I would recommend.

Mao Jiao Huo La

Located on Kui Xing Lou, a famous food street, this restaurant is known for its long queues. Once you try it, you'll understand why it's so popular. The bursting rabbit kidney, crispy and tender rabbit head, and other must-try dishes like farmhouse small potatoes, brain flower, hot pot noodles, and spicy tripe are all highly recommended.

Big Temper Specialty Restaurant

Just by looking at the name, you can tell it's very unique. It specializes in selling bullfrogs, featuring the typical spicy ginger flavor of Neijiang and Zigong. Heavy-flavor foodies must try it. The frog meat is very tender and flavorful, with a fresh and spicy taste. The side dishes are also plentiful.

He Xiaoxian Hotpot

This is a very artistic hotpot restaurant. The decor is quite fresh and elegant, featuring green plants, maps, and various travel elements. Of course, the taste is also very good.

Yumi Xiang

It is an authentic Zigong cuisine restaurant. The cold-eaten rabbit is quite flavorful, the farmer's beef tenderloin and fisherman's petal fish are very tender, and the diving frog and kung fu dry pot are also quite good.

Zili Noodle Shop

From noodles to seasonings to toppings, all ingredients are carefully selected, truly worthy of being an old brand. Zhajiang noodles, pork rib noodles, and beef noodles are the 'traditional three classics'. The shop is very popular among locals, and if you are nearby, it's definitely worth a try.

Mingting Restaurant

Known as the 'fighter jet among Chengdu's fly restaurants', dishes like tofu brain, lotus leaf sauce meat, spicy fish, and king yellow throat are treasured by Chengdu locals. You must come and try them.
