Compared with Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, there is still a big gap. Although Hefei is the capital of Anhui, it is not a representative city of Anhui cuisine. However, as a provincial capital city, Hefei has the advantages of leading and gathering by provincial capital cities.
First of all, as the provincial capital, Hefei ranks first in the province in terms of population size, economic aggregate and urban development level. It is this guidance that makes Hefei's regional advantages very obvious. The development of catering industry has also played a leading role. For example, specialty snacks, snacks from all over the province have gone to Hefei to find a market. There is such a snack street in the representative catering gathering area of Hefei, where many snacks with different characteristics are gathered.
Secondly, the crayfish restaurant with the most Hefei characteristics has developed rapidly in recent years, especially in summer, eating crayfish and drinking beer has become a dining landscape. The lobster festival held every year makes the public look forward to it and has a high degree of participation. Citizens are happy and enterprises are satisfied.
In addition, some representative Sichuan and Cantonese catering enterprises have also settled in Hefei, which has played a boosting role in enriching the catering industry in Hefei.
With the development of economy and society, local catering enterprises in Hefei are also growing. For example, Shu Wang Restaurant, which started with hot pot, now includes fast food, Chinese food and western food, and is also a production and processing catering enterprise. There are also catering enterprises such as Tongqinglou and Jinmanlou, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.
