I had the opportunity to experience it for the first time in January 2025 because Sun Yu invited me to have dinner there. My feeling is: the environment is good, it is almost at the end of the village, I have my own vegetable garden, raising some chickens, ducks and sheep, and the view of the village and Erhai Lake from a high place to the north is good. The service staff is friendly and thoughtful, and it is a very young and energetic team. The dishes are creative and produced seriously, which can be seen from the care and richness of the dipping sauce used in a small dish. Pet-friendly, the chef monkey played with the fried hair after cooking. I am not a person who often comes to such restaurants, nor am I an expert in fine food, but I thought at the time that I should introduce it to my friends and guests, and such a restaurant is worth recommending. So I sorted out some simple information and introductions to make recommendations. At the same time, I also collected some comments and opinions from others for your reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Pick out two of them:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Deng Rang Rang December 16, 2024 \"My friend recommended this restaurant to me. I had read the reviews and was looking forward to it. The nine-course meal was beyond my expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Environment: The open counter with wooden tables is very American. In addition to local Yunnan ingredients and spices, the restaurant also has warm yellow light as soon as the car stops, and they begin to prepare tonight's meal. It is quite conspicuous among a row of traditional buildings. The courtyard design at the entrance, plus the self-planted vegetable garden and captive animals, embody the concept of farm to table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The pre-meal bread is more moist than bread. It is served with four sauces. My favorite is mushroom sauce. The butter and honey are also homemade in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The favorite soup of silver fish, the plate is full, the fried silver fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, dipped in the sour soup made from tree tomatoes, very appetizing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The way to eat rainbow trout is very special. The chef gives more space for DIY. The smoked rainbow trout is served with crispy chips, avocado sauce and fresh vegetables picked from the farm, allowing diners to freely match them. Tilapia is also made into a soupy dish. It is slightly charcoal-grilled to keep the meat fresh and tender. The soup is also sweet and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The method of deep-fried bullfrog tempura is to add a local peppercorn to the sauce. However, the sour taste is a bit too strong. People who like sour food should love it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Yellow beef. The local yellow beef is sliced thinly and served with a sauce that is full of Dai flavor. The sauce is more amazing than the beef. The main course is avocado pasta with mushrooms and chili peppers. This is the only spicy dish tonight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Before dessert, I used freshly squeezed citrus juice to replace the sorbet to cleanse my mouth. The aftertaste of sourness and sweetness was strong. I thought the \"walnut\" was sweet, but it turned out to be a little salty. Maybe it was to match the fried milk fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Finally, the chef served a new dessert, which reminded me of the soy sauce ice cream I had a few days ago. It tasted like toffee. I'm keeping it a secret. If you want to try it, you can wait for the new season menu. There are still many delicious dishes in the whole set, which is more worthwhile than the fusion cuisines I have recently checked in. I didn't expect that Dali also has a restaurant of this level. The chef team is quite creative. \"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e miniw Lv7 January 10 \"I finally got to eat at the trout restaurant I've liked for a long time. I heard a long time ago that it was the Chinese version of noma. I made a reservation immediately when I came to Dali this time. I like the farm to table format and the naturalness. Every dish is delicious. Three of the eight dishes surprised me. The service was very good. Many ingredients are local Yunnan specialties. I've never seen them before.

It was recommended to me by Qiqi. She has been in Dali for more than ten years and is very familiar with the customized dishes of various restaurants. She also has a local perspective. The general restaurants that fool tourists cannot escape her criticism. At that time, she said: The price is not cheap, but I feel it is worth it after eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Xiao Jing and I went with our dog. We originally considered not bringing it into the yard, as it would affect the environment. Rou was very enthusiastic and said, \"If it doesn't make a fuss, bring it in. It would be sad for them to be in the car.\" Their family loves dogs and they have cats and dogs at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e I am not an expert in catering, but I feel that this family courtyard restaurant is great, from the food to the environment, the details of the furnishings, the atmosphere of the courtyard, and the personality and temperament of the owner. It is comfortable to dine in the courtyard, and the owner also grows microgreens himself, which not only allows for fresh ingredients, but also has a sense of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e When I visited them again later, it was lunch time. Hunter was busy in the kitchen, and Rou was introducing the dishes. He came to chat with me during the break. After lunch, Hunter also came over and talked about life here, their dogs and cats, and what an interesting family they are. They also talked about their experience of working in a big hotel, opening a restaurant in the city, and moving to Dali for a new life. It was a rich experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Excerpts \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dalitrip.com\/blogs\/life-in-dali\/2024%E5%B9%B410%E6%9C%885%E6%97%A5\"\u003efrom my daily records on 2024.10.05\u003c\/a\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e I took the power bank. Next to his house is Hunter\u0026amp;Rou Private Kitchen. My van was parked in front of his house. Both buildings are traditional courtyard buildings. I came here for dinner a while ago and had a good impression, so I wanted to say hello before leaving. It was almost twelve o'clock, which was the time for lunch. I could also hear the voices of customers inside. I pushed open the door to the courtyard and saw Rou preparing the meal. Hunter was busy in the kitchen. I greeted Rou and told her that I just happened to pass by. She was very happy and asked me to come in and sit for a while. Because I knew she was not being polite, I did not refuse and sat down at the table in the courtyard. The table was under a green shelf, with several clean light blue curtains hanging around it. On one side was a multi-layer shelf with microgreens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Hunter was busy in the kitchen, while Rou took the time to come over and chat between dishes. In the end, I sat there until the guests left, and then stayed for a while. Hunter works as a Western chef in a high-end hotel, and Rou works in management. Because of various connections, they came to Dali to live and became neighbors. Probably like many people who moved to Dali from the city, they were tired and wanted to change their lifestyle. Hunter said, \"It was okay in the first six months, but later I felt bored with nothing to do.\" He started by entertaining guests, friends, and netizens, and gradually started to be a private chef. Rou said, \"If it is used as a restaurant standard, I am not very satisfied with it myself.\" \"Maybe if it is completely in accordance with the standards of high-end restaurants, it will probably lack the atmosphere of life. I like the way your home is now, which has more of your own characteristics.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The restaurant has been running for more than a year and is very popular. When Qiqi introduced it to me, she said, \"Although it is not cheap, it is worth it after eating it.\" This is a high evaluation. It also fits my idea: if conditions permit, such a commercial service should be provided, because everyone hopes that their creation is worth the money. This beautiful courtyard, two people who work hard and have their own characteristics, and professional cooking skills, when combined, have unique value and are a creation. Guests who can appreciate the value of it will feel good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Not long ago, after the birth of her child, Rou said she was planning to close the restaurant, but then she felt that her child was very well behaved, so she decided to let them have the energy to cook lunch and only stop cooking dinner. Excluding her own schedule, she could cook 15 days a month, which was just the right rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Hunter and Rou have two dogs. One of them is 18 years old and can walk five or six kilometers in the mountains. Hunter said, \"After coming to Dali, it probably feels better and is more likely to live longer.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Restaurant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title ","offer_id":44723226869916,"sku":null,"price":598.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_6b248e9d-5b34-41c8-afd0-9394357d599f.jpg?v=1737623213"},{"product_id":"欢雀餐厅-brunch-西式简餐","title":"Brunch at Huanque Restaurant | Huanhuan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the entrance of Erhai Lake.

American coffee is 12 yuan, which is quite fragrant. The bread is baked very well (European bread, large amount of water, natural yeast). A ciabatta sandwich (stewed beef) and a cup of coffee are a good meal. Their chicken liver pate sandwich is also good. Pizza and desserts are good. There are also homemade specialty ice cream, wine, and cocktails, all of which are good. I am not a special expert in Western food, but I think the quality of the people and the food is very good.

The shop started operating in 2021. Before coming to Dali, Rio was a fashion designer. When she met Locky, he was a rock climbing coach. They lived in the Om Cave for a while and often baked some pizza bread in the wood kiln in the yard to eat with friends. Everyone thought it was delicious. Later, it was not easy to make money from other jobs, so they thought of opening a bakery to sell some bread and pizza.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAfter renting the store, we went to Laos. We wanted to start decorating after returning from vacation, but we didn't expect the epidemic to start in Laos. Since we thought the store was already rented, we bought the first wave of price increase tickets and came back. If not, we would have been trapped in Laos for the next two or three years. The store opened soon, and then an Israeli guy named Alex became their partner. When the epidemic first broke out, he was traveling in India, and then he didn't know why he came to China where the epidemic was breaking out, and then stayed. He has rich experience as a chef and has traveled around the world. He contributed a lot of unique Western-style simple meals with a Mediterranean style, which is very different from the usual brunch. He himself is also very happy. He has always been a chef, following the requirements of the restaurant, but this time he followed his own ideas. At that time, it was an epidemic, everyone was very idle, and there were not many foreign travelers, so we often had the opportunity to chat together. Soon, Pu Shi became a store that was very popular with friends in the community. Later, because of its popularity, Pu Shi's space was expanded, and it was re-arranged and renovated, making it better.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Rio and Locky treat people very well, and they find good partners to work with. Working together, they create a friendly and comfortable space. We often drink coffee there, and even organize most of our activities for long trips.

It had the atmosphere of a French cafe. It was quite fashionable not only in Dali but also in China. We were running a late-night canteen nearby at that time, and we often chatted until 8:00 in the morning, and then went to Moon for breakfast together (at that time, few restaurants opened so early), had a bowl of Sichuan noodle soup or mixed noodles, and drank a cup of American coffee.

It confidently adds the flavor of hometown, and is not limited by the cuisine. Looking back, the era of \"authentic\" western food and complete imitation has passed, and a certain confidence has gradually emerged. Just like after 2010, more and more ordinary people moved from big cities to Dali to live, and began to think about their own lives, from taking it for granted to reflection, to action, and making \"their own life choices.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePizza is also a relatively new thing. The cooking method and taste are no longer the mainstream American pizza (huge, thick dough, single and rough filling). There are spicy beef, preserved vegetable and pork, and durian flavors. It is a French cooking method fused with Chinese taste. So at that time, Yueliang was the newest Western restaurant in Dali. Now there are many new restaurants, each with its own strengths, but Yueliang is still a very popular classic brunch restaurant. Xiaojing likes it very much. Even if he has to queue up, he will go to Guangwu Road to have a meal every once in a while. Avocado salad, long fish, grilled ribs, pizza, Spanish seafood rice, squid pasta, you can always change it up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe two stores on Guangwu Road in the ancient city and Cangshan Avenue are the most popular simple Western brunch stores in Dali. The characteristic is that the Western food is modified in Chinese style, and the cost performance is very high. It is also very popular among the local permanent population. The American breakfast includes coffee and juice for 32 yuan, and the iron plate French braised eggs are hot, with vegetables, meat, and eggs. The pizza is also delicious. It is just crowded. I will go there in the off-season and when friends come. It is especially good for those who bring children, and there are many choices. Please note that in the peak season, it is likely to queue for more than 30 minutes, and parking is inconvenient.

Chefs can pursue two directions when making food: making the most authentic (this is quite suspicious, that is, often in the place of origin, authenticity is often controversial, and it is often what most people think is authentic, that is, they like to eat it. Yes, the most important thing is that most people \"like to eat it\"), or what they like to eat, or adjust according to the taste of the guests.
