Are Tibetan Restaurant #1

Top choice in Chengdu


Not only will you not find no better Tibetan food in Chengdu, you'd be hard-pressed to find better Tibetan food anywhere in Tibet. Choose from a delicious range of Tibetan staples, from tsampa (roasted barley flour; ¥20) to thugpa (noodles in soup; ¥18). Or go for the house special: Are Covered, a thin, crispy pancake spread over fried yak meat.

English-speaking staff will explain what everything is and how to eat it. The newer, less quaint branch, just across from Wuhou Monastery, has fast counter service and a dining room upstairs.
