No 9 Courtyard

Shandong


Set back from the promenade, but still with a view of the sea, this place comes alive in the evening when the barbecue is wheeled out, and punters sit in the courtyard enjoying grilled skewers (lamb chunks, chicken wings, tofu), pints of craft beer (¥25) or just plain old bottles of Tsingtao (¥12).

There are wok-fried dishes too (at lunchtimes it's only fried dishes), and although there's no English menu, everything is laid out on tables for you to simply point at.
