Xuanxuan Courtyard has a deep relationship with Songyunze, the restaurant was opened by Songyunze's chef Zhang Fuyuan, and the store opened earlier than Songyunze. But Xuanxuan Courtyard is not the same as Songyunze, although there are similar dishes, but the configuration and positioning of the dishes are not the same.
Located in the wide and narrow alley, the Xuan Xuan courtyard is easily misunderstood as a scenic restaurant for tourists, but in fact, it can be regarded as the most authentic Sichuan restaurant near the wide and narrow alley. This quaint family-style restaurant, with a food stall at the door, makes fried oil fruits and pea cakes, and many tourists leave after buying and tasting them, missing the Sichuan feast in the courtyard. Entering through the wooden door of the house, the beams on both sides of the corridor are covered with sausages and bacon, and the smell of food and smoke is filled.
The Sichuan cuisine here is a little old-fashioned, without too many gimmicks on the plate, and it is all traditional classic Sichuan cuisine with a rich choice. In today's restaurants, there are few dishes that are fried with open flame smoke on the big pot and stove, and Xuanxuan Courtyard does not use those semi-finished seasonings to wrap the ingredients, but one dish and one taste, mainly fried and stir-fried, which retains the flavor of Sichuan cuisine.
In the Sichuan cuisine of Xuanxuan Courtyard, there are common dishes such as Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour crispy fish, watercress fish, back to the pot meat, steamed pork, mapo tofu, fish-flavored eggplant cake and other dishes, all of which are home-cooked dishes in Sichuan cuisine. The snowflake chicken nao, which is more troublesome to make, is the taste of making minced chicken into tofu, which is even lighter than ordinary tofu, and its shape is like snow accumulation, salty and fresh, which is very suitable for the elderly or children. Most of the fresh river products are aquatic products in Sichuan waters, such as Jianghuang and rock carp. When ordering, you can refer to the recommended dishes of Xuan Xuan Courtyard.
In addition to the common home-cooked dishes, Xuanxuan Courtyard also has dishes similar to Songyunze, such as fairy duck, braised beef head square, etc. In addition, Xuanxuan Courtyard can also experience banquet dishes, but you need to reserve a place in advance and set per capita. However, compared to the quiet and comfortable environment of Songunze, if you want to experience banquet dishes, it is recommended to go to Songunze for dinner.
In view of the fact that it is located in a scenic spot with a large flow of people such as Kuanzhai Alley, the passenger flow of Xuanxuan Courtyard has always been high, especially during peak periods, and it is easy to have unstable dishes. If you want to experience the taste of traditional Sichuan cuisine, it is recommended to stagger the holiday rush.
