Dongjie Cuisine
Dongjie is relatively small in size and has fewer places to eat. In addition to home-cooked meals in the B&B, you can also eat in restaurants or stalls. If you want to eat in a restaurant, there is an old restaurant in the scenic area called Feng Yuan Restaurant, which is a designated tourist restaurant here.
Feng Yuan Restaurant is a Shui Ge restaurant built in the late Qing Dynasty, located west of Cai Shen Wan in Dongjia. This restaurant specializes in traditional local dishes such as chopped pepper whitewater fish, red stewed mutton, steamed taro with soy sauce meat, chopped pepper, steamed snails with beef phylloxera, and certain source cake, to name a few.
For specialty snacks, try the various stalls and pastry stores on Dongjia Street. There are all kinds of snacks and pastries inside, such as steamed points, duck with sauce, steamed pork with lotus leaf and so on. You can eat while looking at the scenery.
West Gate Cuisine
Because the area of West Gate is much larger than that of East Gate, West Gate will have more space for more food. Only the officially recommended restaurants in Wuzhen have these labeled on the pictures.
The 20 restaurants are either attached to various hotels in Xiza or run independently. Most of the Chinese restaurants specialize in local Jiangnan-style specialties, such as honey steamed fire recipe, Tongan old duck casserole, steamed dried chicken in black wine and stir-fried shrimp. Prices vary, so you can choose according to your own taste, or according to where you are located at the time and close by.
Besides these famous restaurants, most of Wuzhen's specialty pastries and snacks are also concentrated in Zhaxi. For example, specializing in a variety of pastries Jinji pastry store, Zi La La deep-fried store of Xiao Ma Zi radish cake store, specializing in a variety of pink dumplings Himejin pink dumpling store and so on the specific location is also marked out in the following figure (Xiao Ma Zi radish cake store near the snack stores are more concentrated).
The East Gate was developed earlier than the West Gate, but it is smaller in size and has fewer attractions, so there are many fewer places that offer complementary food and beverage services than the West Gate. Because the West Gate has more attractions, there are more places to provide food service and more choices.
