1. Wu Tang Sha Cha Mian – Shacha Noodles Specialty
Highlight: A Bib Gourmand-selected restaurant offering over 20 toppings. From seafood (oysters, clams) to pork offal (heart, stomach, etc.), the variety is impressive. The broth, rich and infused with premium spices, delivers an authentic local depth of flavor.
2. Longtou Fish Ball – Chewy Changfen (Fish Ball / Seafood Dumplings)
Perfect as a side dish after Shacha noodles, this handmade seafood dumpling shop has been popular for over 40 years. Known for its excellent texture and light taste, it’s often recommended as a must-visit fish ball spot on Gulangyu Island.
3. Monet Cafe (琴海咖啡) – Tea & Desserts with a View
Famous for its sea view, this cafe offers a serene terrace overlooking the ocean where you can enjoy tea and desserts. From traditional tea houses to glutinous desserts (like mochi), macarons, and cakes, it’s an ideal spot to savor snacks and relaxation.
