原味江湖菜

Yuanwei Jianghu Cuisine is a popular local restaurant nestled at the foot of Geleshan Mountain in Chongqing, specializing in authentic Jianghu dishes (a rustic, bold style of Sichuan cuisine). The interior exudes a lively, smoky atmosphere with an open kitchen where dishes are cooked to order. Signature items include the spicy diced chicken (La Zi Ji) made with free-range chicken, dried chilies, and Sichuan peppercorns; tender boiled fish fillets in a bright red chili oil; and the classic Mao Xue Wang loaded with duck blood curd, tripe, and luncheon meat. Other favorites include pickled pepper beef shreds, sour cabbage fish, and Geleshan spicy rabbit. Open until late, it’s ideal for group gatherings and family dinners. Average cost is around ¥102 per person. The staff is friendly and can adjust spice levels upon request. Parking is available nearby.
