What to expect
A local guide walks you through Chongqing's real tables, so you eat where locals eat without wrestling with Chinese menus.
Meet, and set your spice and comfort level
We meet your guide, talk through what you like, flag any allergies, and agree how spicy you want to go. Non-spicy tastes are always kept on the table.
Xiaomian noodles, snacks and a market walk
Taste Chongqing xiaomian noodles, ice jelly and riverside snacks, and wander a working food street where your guide explains what you are eating.
Sit down to a proper Chongqing hotpot
Settle in at a trusted hotpot table. Your guide handles ordering, sets up a mild split-pot if you prefer, and shows you how locals dip and eat.
