If you want to eat authentic Chongqing hot pot, I think someone must bring it with you. If you only refer to the news on the Internet or the Chongqing hot pot rankings, you will definitely not be able to eat authentic old hot pot.

It is no exaggeration to say that not many people in Chongqing have eaten the "Peijie Old Hotpot" that is so popular among tourists, including me. If I hadn't seen the advertisement for the Line 2 light rail, I wouldn't have eaten it at all. To be honest, I have never heard of it.

I have also asked many friends around me, and almost no one knows about this hot pot restaurant. If you don’t believe it, when you travel to Chongqing, you can ask people on the roadside to find out what it is like.

I can only say that this hot pot was stirred up by tourists. People who have tasted it will definitely have a conclusion. I have not eaten it and I don’t know how it tastes, but one thing is certain. It cannot represent Chongqing’s old hotpot.

If I were to say that a hot pot meal for the six of us cost almost 200 yuan, many people would not believe it, but in fact this is authentic Chongqing hot pot.

Locals rarely eat hot pot in popular business districts such as Jiefangbei, Chaotianmen, and Ciqikou. This is an indisputable fact. Everyone knows that the rent in these places is expensive, and naturally hot pot is also more expensive. This It is a leverage principle.

When locals eat hot pot, they usually go to some old restaurants that are more economical and have a very good reputation. For example, we only go to that one restaurant to eat hot pot. I won’t mention the name of which restaurant here, which saves money. I was told to advertise.

When it comes to hot pot restaurants recognized by locals, I recommend a few restaurants with popular reputations for reference only:

Xiaoyu Hot Pot: Top ten hot pot in Chongqing, my house There is a family next to me. I ate it once and couldn't stand the spicy and spicy food. Everyone collapsed after eating it. There was no second time after that, but many Chongqing people thought it was delicious.

Loquat Garden Hot Pot: A mountain full of hot pot. Locals rarely eat there by themselves. They usually treat guests or friends from out of town to eat more. The scene is quite grand. I have eaten there once.

Eight Tables Old Hot Pot: Many friends have recommended it, but the place is hard to find. Anyway, I have to walk all the way to ask. The taste is still good, but now the dishes are getting more and more expensive. It calls itself "the Swarovski of the hot pot world" strange".

Dalong Old Hotpot: Most of the diners are locals and there are relatively few tourists. To be honest, the business is very popular. If you want to catch a meal, you will almost have to queue up. The environment is average and the hotpot is good.

There are many delicious hotpots in Chongqing, but they are definitely not the ones that tourists eat. Chongqing people’s requirements for food are more about taste than environment, so you can often see various bench noodles, Rice noodles and so on.

If you want to eat authentic Chongqing hot pot, it is best to have a local to guide you. As for hot pot in popular business districts, the price is needless to say, and the taste may not be authentic. Believe me if you are capable. Can't go wrong.

When you come to Chongqing, you must eat the authentic Chongqing hot pot, otherwise it will be a regret for you. Chongqing has always been there, and Chongqing hot pot has always been there. We warmly welcome every tourist.

Next to the intersection entering Chongqing National Middle School in Tuojia'ao, Dadukou, Chongqing, there is a white three-story building with no sign on the black marble door cover. There are cars parked everywhere, and there is the legendary "Three Nos" restaurant (no signboard, no additives, no butter) - Yang Dezi Hotpot!

As the saying goes, turning over and turning over are the same thing. The larger the size, the greater the difficulty. According to the proprietress of this shop, although Yangjuezi Hotpot has four halls (three on the first floor and one on the second floor) with 17 tables each, it has maintained an average table turnover rate of 2-3 times a day for many years. This shows that the business is booming and the popularity is strong. Special reminder to diners who come to pull weeds to arrive early, otherwise they will have to go to the front of the store to "sit in a row and listen to what is said."

The spiciness of the Yangjuezi hot pot pot is also divided into mildly spicy, medium spicy and extra spicy. However, diners can directly serve medium spicy without special request or prompt. There is no spacer in the pot, which is " "Hai Lao" random mode.

Although Chongqing hot pot is a spicy and heavy soup pot in terms of taste, the hot ingredients are by no means just a carrier of spicy food. High-quality ingredients are also the lifeline of a hot pot restaurant. Yang Bozi Hot Pot always insists on using the best ingredients. After the ingredients fully absorb the soup in the pot, you can still taste the natural flavor of the ingredients while being spicy.

As I said before: Taste is a lot of personal likes and dislikes. Different preferences will lead to different evaluations. If you feel it doesn’t suit your taste, please give it a try! People in Chongqing rarely go to large chain hot pot chains like Dezhuang/Kong Liang/7 Hot Pot/Sister Su/Qin Ma/Leave a Hand/Wang Shaolong (what are you talking about Wu Ming? That’s not Chongqing hot pot~) because these large The hot pot places are all very large and the taste is average. Unless you really want to eat hot pot but there are long queues for other favorite hot pots, you will consider them. After Little Swan becomes a small pot, what you eat is not the taste but the atmosphere, but eating Who wants to eat hot pot? (:3」 )_

The following section description (because many of the photos I took when I was eating are no longer available, so many of the pictures below are from Dianping. If the original If the author feels that the rights have been infringed upon, I will delete it immediately; in order to facilitate out-of-town friends to find food, I have left a map location, all taken from Baidu map screenshots) Shapingba: Dalongba is famous for its strong taste and is one of the best hotpots in Shapingba District;

In Chongqing, everyone has a few hot pot restaurants that they think are the most delicious, because there is no best hot pot in Chongqing, only the worst!

There is no hot pot restaurant that is most recognized by the locals in Chongqing. All hot pot restaurants in Chongqing that claim to be the best in Chongqing are blocked.

Everyone has their own tastes, and even the same person's tastes keep changing, so it is impossible to judge the "most recognized" one. It can only be said that with a high probability, unlike the foreigners in Gaoshangyang, Chongqing locals prefer to eat at street restaurants. Branches of powerful old hotpots are generally not as good as old ones. Other famous hotpot chains such as Little Swan are basically Always blacklisted.

Nowadays, Dianping has too many 50-cent reviews. I personally think there are three criteria when choosing: 1. The store has a long history and is not a new store; 2. It doesn’t pay much attention to decoration; 3. There are many reviews and it is not because of group purchases or Free trial and review. . .

Special reminder to foreign tourists to be careful when choosing stores with five-star decorations that boast long history and culture and high per capita consumption. Because hot pot was originally a food invented by dock workers, Paoge Dock can have history, culture, and the most important thing is down-to-earth! In fact, for outsiders, any roadside hot pot in Chongqing is an authentic Chongqing hot pot. If you really want to decide which restaurant is better, the easiest way is to follow whichever restaurant has the longest queue = =

Only Listed in no particular order are the famous fly hot pot restaurants that I have eaten recently and still vaguely remember the experience of. I can only say that the following hot pot restaurants are top-notch famous and authentic Chongqing hot pot, but they are not responsible for the taste and cost-effectiveness of the dishes. . .

1. Yuzhong District

Zhao Er: It is indeed a hot pot restaurant that has been open for almost 20 years. When I was a child, I lived near Zhao Er and would often go there to eat. The reason was that the blood was strong and the bean sprouts were free. My dad often taught me this: small profits but quick turnover...the taste is normal. Since it is not too far from Jiefangbei Chaotianmen, foreign tourists can stop by to experience the authentic Chongqing hot pot

Zhu's Fatty Rotten Hot Pot: It is also an authentic restaurant There are many old restaurants that have been here for many years, and the taste is normal. Since it is located between Jiefangbei and Hongyadong, the location cannot be better. When friends from out of town come, they will be taken there

Linjiangmen Dongzi Old Hot Pot : The current name of the restaurant on the branch road next to Luohan Temple seems to be different, but according to research, it should be the restaurant that popularized the name "Linjiangmen Dongzi" 20 years ago. Until now, Linjiangmen or Dongzi is still flashing in Chongqing and even across the country. The name of Lao Hotpot shows that its history back then was still very impressive. But the taste. . . I went there once before the Spring Festival and the taste was really not good. . . But it's not spicy, and the environment is definitely an old hot pot environment. Foreigners may consider it.

Zhazha: It was so spicy that I can only remember tears, especially that time I ordered green vegetables. . . My impression is that it tastes pretty good, so be careful if you can’t eat spicy food

Bafu: Next to Zhazha, there is less queue than Zhazha, so the spicy taste is normal

Jiang Erwa Skewers Chuan Chuan: Once I went to Li Chuan Chuan with my friends. I was so frightened by the number of people waiting in line that I immediately turned around and went to Jiang Erwa. To be honest, it tastes good and there is no need to queue. It cost more than 50 yuan for two people, which is good value for money

Li Ji Chuanchuan: The queue was so long that I even met a pregnant woman who said she would not be able to go into retreat next month. I had hot pot, but I had to eat Li Chuan Chuan before going into seclusion to feel at ease (PS. The pregnant woman strongly recommended Xiaoyu Main Store in Loquat Mountain. She said she only ate Li Chuan Chuan and Xiao Yu Main Store). It tastes good. The dry oil dish made me cry instantly, but I still wanted to eat it before my tears were dry. It cost more than 90 yuan for two people. It is worth a try. But I just ate it on Sunday night, and I wanted to eat it again on Monday. I can't forget it. I personally feel that it is quite abnormal. I wonder if I added too much yinsu shell. . .

He Wang's Chuan Chuan: The old restaurant in Datianwan is crowded with people, and I have forgotten the taste, but the atmosphere is quite authentic and authentic, you can go and feel it. PS. Because the Pearl River Sun City branch is near my work, I go there occasionally, but I really don’t recommend it. It’s not cheap, and the food is average. . .

2. Jiangbei & Yubei

Yuzong: Good friends live in Huangnilbang, because they eat spicy beef in Yuzong all year round.

It is said that the spicy beef became unpalatable for a period of time. When I asked, I was told that the chef had changed and the new chef was not good at knife skills, but he improved after a while. . . Personally, I think the taste is normal, but the fried chicken hates its old meat slices. A piece of meat can be 0.5 cm thick. . . PS. The Pearl River Sun City branch is definitely the same as the old store, because the aunts waiting in line at the door and the glutinous rice dumpling sellers are the same people as Huang Ni Pang. . .

Sister Huang: Personally, I think it tastes good. The key is that it's cheap. A few days ago, two people went to eat. Because the minimum purchase was 40 yuan, they reluctantly ordered the 48 yuan dish and were exhausted. . . The location is not remote, but fried chicken is difficult to find, because if no one shows the way, you would never guess that there is a yellow mud village in the middle of the ruins next to a lot of new houses, and it feels like a thief of time

Dry mine: I just ate it last weekend. I just poured in Totole sesame oil. It tastes good and has the taste of hot pot.

Eyes: Behind the customs, next to the small head, it is not a famous hot pot, but it was used in junior high school. Yes, it is said that the boss is a graduate student and wears glasses, so he calls it glasses hot pot. It is so cheap that I can’t remember the taste, but it is indeed an authentic old hot pot

Si Mei Chuan Chuan Xiang: behind the customs, next to the cerebellum, the famous Chuan Chuan , I think the taste is okay, but the queue is quite fierce. . .

Benchi: It sounds like Benchi. I can’t remember the taste, but a friend likes it very much. . . .

3. Others

Because Chongqing is too big and has traffic jams, I have only been in the above two areas for a long time, and I rarely go to other places, so I have limited food.

LS The Wrangler near Yangjiaping that someone mentioned is also a classic. You can’t drive in, so you can only ride in a car or walk, and you have to wait in an N-long queue. I have forgotten the taste, but the process of finding this store and its atmosphere are enough to make experienced foodies enjoy it.

In addition to Fly Hotpot Restaurant, chain hotpots such as Shenjia Hongcheng Old Hotpot and Rongjia Ranch Fresh Vegetable Hotpot are also reasonably popular in Chongqing.

It is said that the people of Nan'an love their hometown's water source very much, and the Loquat Garden on Nanshan Mountain also takes hot pot to a new level.

If you want to stir up trouble in the hot pot capital, you probably need a lot of tools.

If you want to say what Chongqing locals recognize the most, it is that they vote with their feet. That’s where they line up every day.

For example, Peijie Lao Hotpot, the queuing king in the Chongqing hotpot industry! It takes 1 minute to enter the store and the queue lasts for up to 5 hours. It is a queue every time you eat. It is well-deserved for its popularity.

The base of the beautiful nine-square grid pot is hand-cooked. It is spicy, delicious and fragrant. It has enough ingredients and is not stingy. The spicy aroma penetrates into the nose!

I wasn’t impressed when I first tasted it, but the more I ate, the more I liked it. The spiciness is moderate, but hits the taste buds directly, crisply and directly!

The most distinctive dish is undoubtedly the Four Shen Bao, which brings together the four mythical beasts of chicken, cow, pig and sheep in one plate. It sounds a bit scary, but once you stretch out your chopsticks, you won’t be able to stop!

Blanched in a red soup pot, it is tender and smooth, and it feels full of nourishment and nourishment! After mixing evenly with the dry oil dish, it tastes very enjoyable.

Tribute meatballs are one of Sister Pei’s specialties. It is said that many diners go to the store just for this dish. The tribute cabbage segments are embedded in the pork filling, and the texture is very unique. The springy tribute cabbage grains and the small fresh meat have the crispy and sweet taste of the tribute cabbage, and the meaty aroma of the pork filling, which is full of chewiness.

Spicy beef is definitely the favorite in hot pot. There is a thick layer of sea pepper on the surface. The beef has been marinated in sauce in advance, which makes it taste better and richer. It is not filling your teeth or greasy.

In addition, there are also high-quality goose intestines, freshly cut beef, thousand-layer tripe, beef with sansho pepper, freshly killed fish and loach, Wulong sweet potato noodles, dry tribute vegetables...all are hot sellers in the store. Dishes! It will definitely satisfy your taste buds.

In addition, Mining Hot Pot is also very popular and can be regarded as an old brand in Chongqing hot pot industry. The locals say that they have been eating it for many years and the more they eat, the more they like it.

Because the Mine Hot Pot is located in the Chongqing Prospecting Factory, it uses local materials and named it: "Miner Hot Pot". With the later development, Mine Hot Pot Man has given more meanings. First, "mine" and "kuang" are homophonic. In Chongqing dialect, "kuang" is a philosophy of life that believes that suffering is a blessing, and that great wisdom is like foolishness. At the same time, it also represents the spirit of a miner, who is not afraid of fatigue day after day.

The bottom of the pot is mellow and fragrant, spicy and spicy without being irritating. It is a healthy "spicy". This kind of special spicy is full of softness, sweetness wrapped in the fragrance, oily but not spicy. It's greasy, spicy but not dry. The base is secretly made from dozens of precious Chinese herbal ingredients. The hot pot soup is red and bright, spicy and fragrant, and everything is just right.

The dishes are fresh and reasonably priced. We highly recommend the special mineral beef and mineral sausage!

The more famous hot pot restaurants that outsiders think are worthy of introduction include: Linjiangmen Dongzi Hot Pot, Chaotianmen Air Raid Shelter Old Hot Pot, Dezhuang Hot Pot, Little Swan Hot Pot, Qin Ma Hot Pot, Xiaoyu Hot Pot, Luan Pichai Hotpot, Dalong Hotpot, Jiafu Hotpot, Qi Hotpot, Liu Yishou Hotpot, Captain Hotpot, Zhu's Fatty Rotten Hotpot, Jiang Erwa Hotpot, Shenjia Hongcheng Old Hotpot, Rongjia Ranch Fresh Vegetable Hotpot, etc. are too numerous to mention. .

These are time-honored brands that have been around for decades. They have great reputations and are very popular. Please add them to your collection. It is worth recommending that Linjiangmen Dongzi Hotpot is the most famous hotpot restaurant in Chongqing. The old butter hotpot is the most distinctive, with Jiuge Palace and old oil and new soup. The special feature is that you have to wait, line up, and sit well to be famous in the mountain city. When friends arrive in Chongqing, hurry up and have a taste! Welcome to like and follow, thank you.

There are a lot of hot pot restaurants in Chongqing, and the taste and quality vary. However, there are a few that are recognized by locals, and there are also a few that locals don’t go to and are only for foreign tourists. Here are a few recommendations: The last thing I want to talk about is "What are the hot pot restaurants that are least recognized by locals in Chongqing?"

Daping Chen Jingzi Hot Pot

I have recommended Chen Jingzi several times Well, this hot pot restaurant is known as one of the best in Daping. It has been open for decades. It is still small and has not expanded. However, the people who come here are basically local regular customers from Chongqing. For example, my college classmates and I have been here every time since graduation. It's all here! Spicy and butter are very authentic, not drying, and very hygienic.

Yu Zong Hotpot

There are several Yu Zong restaurants in Chongqing, but I only recommend the old one in Xinpaifang. Only that one has its own specialties. Be sure to eat beef, Ba Shi De very!

Dalong Hotpot

d Dalong Hotpot has good online reviews and very few negative reviews. It has been recommended many times. I have never tried it, but I will definitely look for opportunities to try it. !

"Big Tiger"! ! ! ! !

1. Xiaoyu Hotpot

Now if you search online for which hotpot is the best in Chongqing, the first one that comes up will definitely be Xiaoyu. In the past, only locals knew about Xiaoyu Hotpot. , China on the Tip of the Tongue completely made Xiaoyu popular last year. Now there are more and more franchise stores. In fact, the taste is almost the same. For hot pot restaurants like this, you must make a reservation in advance.

2. Yuzong Laozao Hotpot

It is also a very famous restaurant in Chongqing. Like Xiaoyu Hotpot, there are franchise stores everywhere.

3. Dahu Hotpot

Dahu is the author’s favorite hotpot restaurant. It is the best hotpot in Chongqing. I don’t know how it was selected, but it is true. It's delicious. Friendly reminder: This hotpot is too spicy. Friends who go out of town must remember to make the bottom of the pot slightly spicy (actually, mild spicy can be quite spicy).

4. Dalong Hotpot

Dalong Hotpot is a local hotpot restaurant with a good reputation. It is located in a very inconspicuous alley in Shapingba. Every time I go there, I have to order it. The queue takes about two hours, and the dragon is only open at night, not at noon.

5. Mangzi Hot Pot

The main store is quite inconspicuous, and the dining environment is very bad. It is the so-called fly restaurant, but the taste is quite good. I recommend theirs Crispy meat.

6. Zhao Er Hot Pot

Zhao Er Hot Pot has opened many stores, and I don’t know whether it is a franchise store or a copycat store. Anyway, Zhao Er Hot Pot is only as good as the main store. The stores are all so-so, if you want to go, just go to the main store.

7. Chongqing Leishen Hotpot

Leishen Hotpot seems to be one of the top ten hotpots in Chongqing. Although the author has never tried it, this restaurant has been recommended many times by friends around him. Yes, I think it still tastes good.

8. Peijie Lao Hotpot

This restaurant is so popular that you have to queue for more than 2 hours every time. I went to get my order at 10 am and had to wait for 30 tables in front of it. I fainted, so If you want to eat at Pei Jie's, be prepared to queue up.

9. Old Classmate Dongzi Hot Pot

One of the filming spots for the movie Hot Pot Hero, this store is really popular now and it is also very small, so you know , that is, it takes a long time to wait in line for food, an hour is considered fast.

There are many hot pot restaurants in Chongqing, such as Longhu Duck Intestine Wang Haer Hot Pot Captain Hot Pot Liu Yishou Hot Pot. Anyway, I recommend everyone to eat old hot pot when visiting Chongqing, and many delicious restaurants in Chongqing are like that. Don’t dislike the environment of Fly Restaurant. The taste is really good. Anyway, the poster does not recommend you to eat Little Swan Qinma Hotpot and Dezhuang Hotpot. The brands are loud and the environment is high-end. In fact, the taste is average. Local No one will eat it.
