Wenzhou's more traditional locals prefer their food with a mild and subtle taste, especially seafood, which they prepare most often in just one way – steaming – in order to preserve the originality of the fresh ingredients.

To some extent, the pace of life and population mobility of modern times has diluted the food tradition of Wenzhou – by adding more unconventional cooking styles and flavors, for instance spices from Sichuan province and desserts from foreign countries.

Basically nowadays, you can have all kinds of choices of foods and cuisines from different geographical regions.

Here we only recommend a few of Wenzhou's restaurants that mainly focus on the city's traditional cuisines. For the others, you'll have to go on that adventure yourself.
