A very enjoyable dinner with friends outside HaNi restaurant. Very tasty food especially the mince beef and beans with garlic (not on the menu but recommended by the host)We enjoyed ourselves despite arriving when some of the staff seemed to be eating takeaway outside. It was a bit difficult to find even with our Mandarin speaking Friends and nothing is in English. Menu has pictures though. Worth investigating as very reasonably priced ¥165 for 4!

Without a doubt this place has the best live music in town, there are always talented musicians from different nationalities on stage, there is a great variety of international beers and wines on the menu, and the cocktails are also quite good, it is also a great place hub knob as this is where the hip crowd hangs out, come early tough because due to old town regulations music has to stop at 11:00 pm.

We can only comment on the food and the excellent service provided by the very talented Dutch proprietor, Peter [as we were staying at the Hui Feng Inn, which doesn't ordinarily serve meals (see separate review)].This is a vegetarian establishment and more care is taken with the food than in many restaurants. The menu is itself attractive and offers both a la carte and good value 'set' selections comprising, for example [in the case of breakfast], a freshly squeezed mixed fruit and/or vegetable juice (half size), fried potatoes with rosemary and baby toms, choice of eggs, toast & preserve and coffee or tea (38 yuan).Portions are generous and a bowl of noodle soup with vegetables is almost a meal in itself. We're meat-eating vegetarians and the food here made a very nice change in itself, and especially from Chinese! Even if you're on a day-trip from Lijiang and not dining then this is a great place to pause for a tea or coffee. Peter has a great selection all lovingly prepared and, whilst I noticed some inconsistency in the cheesecake, the apple strudel is excellent.
