Alu Cang Restaurant (A'luocang Canting)
On the western edge of the Tibetan quarter, this restaurant is a longtime favorite with locals, who appreciate its unpretentious style and hearty cuisine. The second floor is packed at most hours. The English menu is unreliable, with beef and lamb often translated as yak. Specialties include radish with yak meat (lamb) and fried mutton spareribs. The simple curry rice is an excellent choice for those on the run. Notice the boycott of the Han-owned Lhasa Beer -- Tibetans who can afford it drink Budweiser or Blue Label.
