Laojie Diyilou
老街第一楼
The most famous Anhui restaurant at the eastern entrance of Tunxi Ancient Street, under the Yilou Shiye group, often with long queues during peak hours.
Located at No. 247 Tunxi Ancient Street, near the eastern entrance, this restaurant belongs to the Yilou Shiye Group, which is one of the provincial-level drafting units for the "Anhui Cuisine Standards." Signature dishes include braised stinky mandarin fish, pan-fried hairy tofu, Hu Shi Yipinguo (Hu Shi one-pot), and steamed pork with rice flour. The open kitchen on the first floor also showcases various Huizhou snacks. You will need to queue for a table during peak dining hours, so arriving early or making a reservation is recommended. The average cost is about 75 to 100 CNY per person. Reviews are mixed: some diners find the food a bit too salty, while others feel the prices are on the higher side. Guests who are not used to the smell of stinky mandarin fish should be prepared before ordering. It operates in separate lunch and dinner shifts. It is easily reached on foot from the eastern entrance of the Ancient Street.
