Food is taken seriously in Dalian, and for good reason. Although historically seafood has reigned supreme in this city, new cultures and people have brought in culinary influences from all over the world. Whether you're looking for a traditional feast or something with a little adventure, there are plenty of choices in Dalian to tantalize your taste buds. Some of the more traditional restaurants include Shuangsheng Yuan and Mingzhu Revolving Restaurant (yes, that's correct: It rotates). Both of these eateries are not to be missed for a truly authentic experience. For traditional Chinese cuisine, head to Dalian Harbor View Restaurant, which offers a stunning view of, you guessed it, the harbor. If you're looking for lunch, check out Taipei Lui's Dumplings, which offers dumplings in every shape, size and variation imaginable. Russian Street is full of more familiar options for the Westerner. If you're in the mood for a little Sichuan (who isn't?), Tan Yu Tou is the popular local favorite. Last but certainly not least, if you're craving Korean, check out Han Zhong. Dalian is chock-full of both authentic cuisine and local culinary influences, so enjoy the food and take a few risks!
