Lined with street-food-style stalls, this wildly popular, well-established dining hall—the original and best of five locations around town—dishes up Yangtze wetlands specialities, including appetizers and soups that emphasize local vegetables rather than the usual starchy offerings; Nanjing's famous salted duck, served sliced on the bone; and steamers full of duck dumplings. Order from the picture menu (with tiny English translations) or get up and browse, pointing to what you want and giving your table number to a costumed attendant.
The crisp Neapolitan-style pizzas at this contemporary Italian eatery come recommended, but don't overlook the seafood specialities and wide range of pasta dishes. Ingredients and cooking techniques are authentic, and regular half-price deals (particularly on Tuesday) attract a local expat and student crowd.
Beloved by locals, Nanjing's very own fast-food chain is a great place to try two regional specialties: xiaolongbao (soup-filled pork dumplings) and maoxue fensi tang (rice noodle soup with duck blood cubes). Branches are everywhere (the original is on Hunan Lu), but the nicest location is on the causeway crossing Xuanwu Lake, where you'll find tables at the water's edge.
Inside the Jiming Temple, this establishment makes a good lunch stop. The chefs use wheat gluten and other ingredients to create mock pork, fish, chicken, and goose dishes; the tofu threads and the Sichuan-style "fish" are recommended.
Near the Shanzi Road Market, this bustling restaurant is a popular purveyor of Huaiyang cuisine, one of the "four great traditions" of Chinese cooking. Try the signature "lion's head" meatballs (shizitou), large and succulent orbs of pork stewed with vegetables in a clear soup; the oversize potstickers (guotie); or, if you're feeling brave, the stinky tofu, malodorous but surprisingly tasty.
Popular with overseas students studying at Nanjing University, Skyways offers the perfect antidote to oily Chinese food. This clean, user-friendly deli offers a list of sandwiches and salads that lets you choose, check, and chow in a matter of minutes.
