What are the best restaurants in Jinan?

There are many delicious restaurants in Jinan, but due to personal limitations, the ones mentioned in the following article are only a small part. Please ask friends to fill in the missing restaurants.

Representative barbecues in Jinan include Niuzhen, Laojin, Leilei, etc. The popularity is super high, and it also represents the best level of Jinan barbecue.

Representative seafood in Jinan include Xiaoluohao, Weihai Seafood King, Clam Drinking Beer, Xinhai Fishing Port, Laolai, Haidian, etc. The seafood dishes they produce are representative in terms of taste and variety. The best seafood dishes in Jinan.

Representative Shandong cuisine in Jinan include Chengnan Past, Old Archway in Southwest Shandong, Jin Chunxi, Mei Fei, Yan Yaozi, Chunjiang, Old Jinan Siheyuan, Dongjia Restaurant, etc. Although the Shandong cuisine produced has been improved, , but basically it still tastes the same.

Typical snacks in Jinan include Chaoyixing, Laobing, Sandian, Old Jinan Medicinal Pork, Straw Buns, Jianqian Steamed Buns, Youxuan from Daguanyuan, Horseshoe Shaobing from Hui Community, and Sweet Motang Tianmo, Shanghe Laodoufu, Changqing Large Vegetable Buns, etc. For dumplings, I have to recommend Xijiade.

There are many delicious restaurants in Jinan, but due to my own limitations, I have never been to many of them, and some of them I did not remember the full names of. I don’t know if I’ve made it clear even though I’ve been talking about this for so long!

The Shandong Cuisine Jinan Prefecture authentic restaurant has been demolished a lot in the past two years, so I have time to write some memories. The ones I frequent now: 1. Lipeng Family Banquet in Sunshine Shun City and Youpeng Family Banquet opposite his house. 2. Yan’s cuisine at Quanlefang. 3. Mingzhu Restaurant at the north end of Shanda Road. 4. Mei Fei on Mulberry Road. 5. Drink Erliang Restaurant at the intersection of Qianfoshan Road and Wenhua West Road.

In the morning, I go to Sujia Baozi Rou in Qinghe, at noon I go to Fatou Menglao Jinan Baozi Rou on Xinzhu Road, and in the evening I go to Liumang Baozi Rou at the intersection of Liansi Road, Beiyuan Road

The only place that sells large vegetarian dumplings in Changqing is the one on Zhougongci Street

For the pork soup dumplings, go to Xinyi Zhuang State Banquet for soup dumplings

For the beef dumplings, go to Huang Laotai’s beef dumplings in Hui Min Community Drink the Zhoujia Tianmo across the street, and the one in Pulimen that buys sausage seasonings has a sesame sauce biscuit stuffed with beef that is delicious

1. Yao Shun Shabu Shabu BBQ. "Drinking draft beer and cooking skewers", which represents Jinan's street food culture, has changed greatly with the ban on outdoor barbecues. Indoor barbecues have lost the excitement of throwing away their arms. It used to be about the free and easy feeling of eating, but now it is more about the taste. requirements. Yao Shun can achieve a balance between the two. As its name suggests, its signature items are barbecue and tripe-shabu-shabu. The tripe shabu-shabu and spicy fried chicken are satisfying. The fresh mutton is authentic and tastes on point; the roast beef, bone marrow, and heart are all made with exquisite ingredients. In the all-glass barbecue operation room, you can sit in the outside hall and watch the chefs grill while eating. It feels close to the outdoors, but it looks cleaner and safer, and it is protected from smoke and fire.

2. Want Want Hotel. This location makes you doubt me. Go all the way west on Yantai Road to a place where there seems to be no road. In Xiaojinzhuang, you can see the guidance sign of Want Want Hotel written on the house, which will make you mistakenly think that no one comes here. The truth is that there is a lot of people here. There are several dedicated parking lots, but they are basically full. Halal restaurants. There are barbecues and stir-fry dishes, and the cold beef louver is a must-order every time. There are many other highlights, so I won’t mention them all.

3. Small town story. The two must-order signature dishes are Sweet Honey and Braised Chicken Feet, both of which are made in earthenware pots. Sweet Honey is steamed pumpkin, but cooked to perfection. The pumpkin is neither watery nor hard, and is moderately soft and glutinous. It sticks to the wall of the crock pot and produces just the right caramel aroma when cooked. It is also lined with just the right amount of sweetness, which is perfect. The chicken feet are soft and fragrant. One time when I took out the soup, I accidentally discovered that, in addition to the chicken feet, the soup was frozen and was of the highest quality.

4. Yixing Flavor Restaurant on Furong Street. The best ones are tomato beef brisket and skin-fried chicken. Reservations are required. If you go without an appointment, you will be kicked out. Like me. I also blame myself for not paying attention to the rules when I went with my friends the first time, and I brought other friends the second time. There were a lot of empty seats, so I sat down directly, but was kicked out by the landlady who arrogantly and unceremoniously confirmed that I didn't have a reservation. There will never be a third time. But you can remember it after eating it once, which is in line with the question of "delicious restaurant".

5. Huanghai Restaurant, authentic Jiaodong cuisine, fresh and fat seafood, clean and tidy. Recommend the fried snails in sauce, mackerel dumplings and fried oysters. Especially the fried oysters are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and are delicious and ecstatic.

6. Laosanyou Sichuan Fish Restaurant. I have been going to this restaurant for many years and have a lot of repeat customers. Must order dishes are the hot pot fish and fried mushrooms. There is a big pot of hot pot fish, with soybean sprouts, kelp, cabbage, potato chips and other vegetables buried under the fish. It is very enjoyable.

7. Past events in the south of the city. If friends from out of town come and want to take them to eat Jinan food, this is a good choice. It's an old Jinan-themed restaurant. The steamed pork with lotus leaves and rice flour is delicious, and the cold lotus root leaves are very special... and there are many branches.

8. Xu’s Mama Theme Restaurant. This one is a bit far away. On Zhonggong Provincial Road 103, we eat cave-themed and rare food - venison. There is a big pot in the middle of the table. We drink the soup first and then eat the meat. The secret venison sauce is great. . Don’t worry, what you eat is what is allowed.

9. Old neighborhood fried chicken and catfish.

The low-table Mazha is suitable for eating at street stalls. Sorry, it's a bit out of the way. It's on Qizhou Road in Xicheng, but the taste and value for money are not good. The fried chicken is a bit too salty and spicy, but the catfish is quite on point, comparable to "The Boss Falls in Love" Fish", a portion only costs 98 yuan. It is served to you piping hot. The grilled fish is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It is fragrant, fresh and spicy. It is a must-have when paired with sesame seed cakes.

There are so many delicious restaurants, from styles to dishes, we can’t name them all. Foodies are welcome to add more.

Many people will ask my little sister,

If friends come to Jinan,

What should they eat?

Roasted sweet potatoes? Multigrain pancakes?

nonono,

These are not what my little sister recommends today

Holding snacks to eat while walking

If you want To eat these,

go straight to the surrounding schools.

The stalls at the school gates

can beat the so-called time-honored brands in Furong Street and Kuanhouli.

Friends come from afar,

Considering the convenience of transportation and the distance from the scenic spot,

Is Shandong’s characteristics obvious?

Small My sister has compiled a "Quancheng Restaurant Travel Edition" for everyone.

I hope everyone can have a place to rest while seeing Qianfo Mountain, Daming Lake and Baotu Spring.

Being able to eat and drink well.

Mei Fei Restaurant

A restaurant that is so delicious that it turns tables

For Mei Fei, if you ask me about Jinan around me, Aboriginal people, what is the best restaurant? At least 6 out of 10 people would say Mei Fei.

About two years ago, my friend chose Mei Fei as a place for a dinner party based on my recommendation. The next day, he told me that they had turned over their own tables. What did that mean? I ordered the same dishes that were served before and finished them all.

My younger sister’s classmates came to Jinan during Double 11. My younger sister took her classmates to Mei Fei. She was amazed. How could such ordinary ingredients be made so delicious? ! The younger sister also said it was very confusing! It's not fancy and delicious like a big hotel, but very plain and has its own style.

There is only one reason for recommendation. If you only recommend one Shandong cuisine, this is it. It will completely overturn your impression of Shandong cuisine.

The restaurant is opposite Jigang Middle School. It is a small and ordinary shop, but there are so many people. One time when I went there at 1 noon, I actually had to wait for 12 tables.

The environment of the hotel is just soso, with yellow tables and chairs from the 1990s.

But so what, it still cannot stop the people of Jinan from loving it!

Duck Yellow Lion's Head

Hey, isn't the Lion's Head a Huaiyang cuisine? But with the soy and salty taste, and a complete salted egg yolk embedded inside, it is considered a Shandong cuisine. Come on! You can order them one by one, and the price/performance ratio is incredible at 8 yuan each. The meat filling is completely hand-chopped, and the meat is delicate and chewy.

Soybean Braised Pork Ribs

The milky white soup looks bland, but is actually delicious. The ribs are all short ribs with crispy bones. The soybeans are cooked just right, a little too much is too bad, and a little too little is too undercooked. This dish is excellent in soups and meat dishes.

Stir-fried kidneys

The ingredients are fresh and the knife skills are excellent. It is definitely kidneys and not kidneys. The sauce is rich in flavor and goes very well with rice. The finishing touch of minced garlic is essential. A heavy favorite.

Yanfu Private Kitchen

It is located in major business districts, with branches everywhere, with good environment, good location and considerate service.

If you happen to be shopping in Hang Lung, meet Xia Yuhe at Daming Lake, or watch a movie at Wanda, then come and eat at Yanfu.

It is located in major business districts, with branches everywhere, with good environment, good location and considerate service.

Especially suitable for taking the elders!

Most of the dishes are salty, sour and sauce-based.

Must-order signature dish

Sweet and sour carp

I took my classmate from the south to eat, and she was shocked by the appearance of this dish, and the sweet and sour taste. It's crispy and has a slightly fishy smell, but I think this is part of the original deliciousness of Yellow River carp. Fat friends who can't stand it at all should be careful.

Vegetarian Pot Stickers

The pot stickers are very slow, but worth the wait. They are the best pot stickers that my sister has eaten in Jinan.

Other special Shandong dishes

For example, Jiuzhuan Large Intestine, Sweet Foam, and Youxuan La, you can order according to your own needs. There are almost no pitfalls.

Boat Song Fish Dumplings

Jiaodong Seafood Restaurant

The quality of the food has not declined as the restaurant has become larger.

If you are a friend coming to Shandong from other places, I still recommend trying it. After all, you can’t eat this kind of fish-filled dumplings outside this area.

Fish Dumplings

The restaurant mainly recommends three kinds of fish dumplings. My sister likes the cuttlefish dumplings the most. They are so amazing, with rich soup and delicious fish. I can’t stop eating one after another.

The Spanish mackerel felt that the seasoning was not very good, it had a slight fishy smell and the fish meat was a bit broken.

The stuffing of yellow croaker is pretty good, so you can order it to try it out.

Eating fish dumplings is like embracing the sea with your mouth! Jingli’s home-cooked food

A typical example of a bad environment but good taste!

Near Qushuiting Street, in the Houzaimen alley, there is this magical store hidden!

Full of the feeling of old Jinan with poplars popping up in every spring, Jingli is a super delicious restaurant with a bad environment and a typical representative of good taste!

Sizzling Tofu

Some fat friends may ask how delicious a piece of tofu can be. Believe me, little girl, you will become a fan after eating it. The ingredients are super simple, just Japanese tofu and eggs, but it tastes really good!

Spicy stir-fried frog

This rare dish is also available here.

Beer Fried Chicken

The whole chicken is stewed with beer garlic cloves, which is aromatic and spicy at the same time.

Fried loose meat

Different from other methods, the meat strips are marinated in advance, and the meat is crispy and fragrant! Personally, I think the fried loose pork is the most delicious in Jinan. Of course, I agree that it is salty. But these can’t cover up its deliciousness at all! Each plate of loose meat comes with a plate of lettuce balls, which can be rolled up to relieve greasy taste and break up the salty taste.

Super interesting

Jinan’s No. 1 restaurant

(Ahem, friends who like Jindeli, please calm down)

Maybe some fat friends will ask, super interesting! You can see them everywhere every day, can you eat the flowers!

My little sister tells you, Chaoyixing is definitely a treasure!

Handfuls of meat

If you ask what is the most representative object in Jinan, then the answer must be a lot of meat!

Some natives may question: The meat is so delicious, why recommend Chaoyixing? Because it’s convenient~

In fact, 100 Jinan foodies may have 100 favorite butcher shops. In fact, my younger sister’s favorite is the Lao Lao Ming. The rich red sauce is more in line with Shandong characteristics.

However, for the convenience of fat friends traveling from other places and to save their time eating other delicacies, I still recommend Chaoyixing

The meat slices are both fat and lean and stewed with various spices. It's crispy and delicious and melts in your mouth. Even fat people who don't like fat meat won't find it too greasy. But don't be intimidated by its rough appearance. Go and conquer it!

Sixi Meatballs

The Sixi Meatballs are also highly recommended. The meat is firm and the seasoning is unique. You must try one.

Warm reminder: All Baozi butcher shops in Jinan will pour the store’s broth on the rice. If you want to eat something light, you can say in advance that you don’t want to pour the soup~

If you really can’t conquer it. It doesn’t matter, because there are also pure lean meat, ribs, chicken legs, crispy fish, meat rolls, and braised eggs to choose from.

Fish-flavored shredded pork

The ingredients are shredded bamboo shoots, what’s the fuss about this? Because most restaurants use shredded potatoes to make fish-flavored shredded pork. The seasoning is stir-fried with Pixian bean paste, which releases the sweet, sour and spicy flavors. The taste is almost the same as that of authentic Sichuan cuisine, so order it~

Roasted eggplant

The only ingredient is eggplant, which is fried in oil and added with sugar to increase the taste. You may not be able to imagine it if you don’t eat it. It’s really great and a great helper with meals! There are no disadvantages except a lot of oil.

Rich breakfast

Hands of meat are served in the morning, aren’t you very happy (kepa)? ! Friends from out of town can also go to Jindeli if they want to have breakfast. There are especially many kinds of pasta. I highly recommend the brown sugar-filled fried cakes (my sister discovered that Chaoyixing also has some yesterday), pot stickers and egg sausages, perfect~

Finally I have to praise Chaoyixing again

It’s really affordable. Three people can eat well for about 40 yuan.

Chengnan Past Flavor Theme Restaurant

Whether you are a native of Jinan, a foreigner wandering in Jinan, or someone who comes to Jinan out of curiosity Travelers, or visitors who want to explore the folk culture of Jinan, anyone who comes to the south of the city must have stories to tell. Now, Chengnan Past has become an iconic restaurant in Jinan culture. The Jinan cuisine and traditional Shandong cuisine here have been given new vitality and connotation. You must come to Chengnan Past Events to have a try! We recommend the Laocheng Ding Spicy Yipin Hotpot, the signature dish of the Southern Past Style Theme Restaurant.

Huangchenggen Beijing style theme restaurant

You can also eat authentic Beijing cuisine in Jinan, that is Huangchenggen! It is a Beijing-style themed restaurant. On the wall are black and white photos of old Beijing, the names of private rooms and partitions, and the dishes on the menu. This is a place where you can also taste Beijing cuisine in Jinan. The dishes mainly use traditional cooking techniques to create attractive roast duck dishes, and also provide a range of non-roast duck colors.

Lao Paifang Shandong Cuisine Famous Restaurant is one of the most popular restaurants in Jinan in recent years. This restaurant has discovered and sorted out various delicacies of Shandong cuisine and southwestern Shandong, allowing locals to The Shandong people finally found their own dish. The price is also very affordable and very cost-effective. Here you can enjoy the bold and generous Shandong specialties.

Neighbor 1906 Coming to this place is like entering a time shuttle, and everything returns to that nostalgic era. This is a time-honored brand that is often mentioned by old people. Here you can see many old objects and old posters with the color of time. The waiters all responded to the occasion, wearing the clothes of May Fourth youths, as well as waiters wearing Boxer uniforms, long gowns, etc. Not only is the environment here good, but the food is also good. The name is very nice and the taste is great.

Hongkunlou’s three-juice braised pot and pepper-flavored braised fried chicken are delicious

During the National Day holiday, I wanted to try some new restaurants, so I chose Sanda South Road to try them out. I bought two of them, they are really good, share them with your friends:

1. Parrot Chef. Address: East section of Sanda South Road, just north of Second Ring Road East.

The grilled mutton skewers and grilled chicken wings are very fresh and delicious; the boiled meat slices and the fat beef in sour soup are also good; the staple food of oil and noodles are very unique.

There are many kinds of fish dishes, and they taste good.

The boss is in love with fish and can’t get enough of it

Miao Yong’s braised mutton is too salty, Jinan dialect is salty.
