🌶️ Chen Mapo Tofu – A Fiery Classic You’ll Feel in Your Soul 🔥

When in Chengdu, you have to try the classic 麻婆豆腐 — and one of the Sichuan restaurant you can consider is 陈麻婆豆腐. ✅ With over 160 years of history, this spot is not just a restaurant, it’s a culinary heritage site. The flavor? Mala-rich, numbing, and fragrant — classic Sichuan. ✅ The ancient-style decor is perfect for photos 📍 Main flagship store: 青华路店 🚇 Nearest metro station: 青羊宫站 (Qingyang Taoist Station line 5) – walkable distance 🕐 Hours: 11:00–14:30, 17:00–21:00 ⚠️ Tourists, go early – long queues expected during peak times! 👀 Things to watch out for: ❗ It’s spicy — even for Sichuan locals. Ask for less spice if you’re unsure. ❗ The signature claypot tofu is slightly pricey; consider the regular version for better value. ❗ The Xiyulong main branch is said to have a more stable taste (worth trying if you want a quieter spot). 🔥 Pro Tip: Order the Mapo Tofu with rice + cold vermicelli (冰粉) to balance the heat — lifesaver when your mouth’s on fire! Nonetheless, there are plenty of non spicy options such as 鱼香肉丝、宫保鸡丁 and 菌菇鸡汤 #陈麻婆豆腐 #mapotofu #chengdueats #麻辣人生 #非遗老字号 #四川美食 #chengdufoodguide #spicyfoodalert #杜甫草堂站 #chengdutravel #火锅以外的选择
