The unadorned two-storey house with grey brick walls may not look exciting, but diners have been flocking here for over 20 years for its Tonglu farm-style cooking – it's simple, rustic and delicious. Photos and the names of dishes are shown on a wall of lightboxes on the ground floor, where servers take your order. Try the organic fish from Qiandao Lake two ways: the fish head soup is milky and rich; and the braised fish fillet is silky and mildly spicy.
