A taste of Dali

Songyun Cliff Sea-View Restaurant, Dali Songyun Cliff Hotel

大理松云悬崖酒店·松云悬崖海景餐厅

A cliffside hotel restaurant on the Haidong shore with the full Erhai and Cangshan panorama, doing individual small hotpots and modern Yunnan plates. You are paying substantially for the view, and on a clear evening it is worth it once.

Why come here

A place worth making time for

No ranking position given on Ctrip's Dali City list; rated 4.7 there, listed for its single-portion hotpot and Cangshan views

The house favourites

What to order

Point at the Chinese. Staff will understand it even where the menu has no English at all.

  • Single-portion hotpot (单人小火锅)
  • Erhai fish (洱海鱼)
  • Yunnan wild mushroom dishes (野生菌)

What it actually tastes like

Moderated for a mixed clientele; nothing here is likely to ambush a cautious eater.

Allergens in this kitchen

This is the kitchen, not one dish. Woks, fryers, blanching water and utensils are shared in almost every Chinese restaurant, so for a serious allergy treat the whole premises as the unit rather than ordering around it.
