Excellent cuts of meat.
Italian. The food is alright but not spectacular. Pizza is hit or miss.
French and American cuisine; the filet is a great meat choice. Total meal is about ¥160. Food overall is quite good and there is a decent wine menu. This is the only restaurant in town with truly Western service (servers will let you study the menu before asking you to order).
Night Jasmine Lounge. A really nice bar. The newest bar in town. A really chill atmosphere and really good beer. Serves draft Hofbräuhaus, a German beer that is brewed in Jiangyin. From the west end of walking street, head north. It's a couple of blocks, on the west side of the road. Highly recommended.
A very elegant place yet affordable.The food is excellent and the waitresses can speak English and are very helpful. They also arrange parties and have a great musicians to entertain the entire crowd during party.A great place to enjoy good wines and good food.Highly recommended especially if you are bringing a date with you.
Chill, casual place to meet locals and foreigners in Zhangjiagang. The House Bar used to be Hug Bar at Yangshe Laojie but is now rebranded and reopened at a different location. The pizza is good and there's a selection of foreign beers, hot beverages, and good food on site and delivered. Cool international and local staff with good spoken English, polite, warm and willing to take you as you are.
Artsy little pet-friendly joint, and a crowd puller among both locals and foreigners. Lots of character thanks to Echo and Rachel, the co-owners, Olaf the dog, Louis the black cat and Zozo the newest kitty in the family. Nice outdoor seating in the summer and perfect location for people watching. Great selection of movies and music in English, European languages and Chinese. Great place to have a beer after work, cosy and chilled out but lively later into the evening. Echo is a gem of a person, very helpful and attentive, stylish and just supercool - excellent, straightforward service. Great place to meet friendly locals and foreigners alike. No food served but you can order from nearby joints, even from the neighbouring House Bar. Nice potted plant garden and wonderful for holding little parties, barbecues, pot luck etc.
