Offbeat Restaurants

Now follow us to explore some offbeat restaurants in Chengdu.

New generations tend to give more considerations to “the feel” than the foodies when they eat out in restaurants, which gives rise to the various eateries that appeal to the caprices of the new blood consumers, with modish images, fancy decorations, and new gimmicks.

And here in Chengdu are some of these kind of offbeat restaurants playing tricks to cater to the whims of the newfangled consuming forces.

The Whale’s Belly

You need some time to adapt to the dim light when you step into the restaurant, but to some people, the contrast is considered a clever contrivance to create fancy environs for romantic parties.

The feeble luminescence at the Whale’s Belly, from the fluorescent paint on the ceiling and walls and the dangling ornaments, makes the surroundings barely perceptible and you’d think that you were in a dreamlike world.

The restaurant provides a menu of a wide range of Western foods and drinks waiting for your explorations.

Address: #150 Kehuazhong Road, Wuhou District
