Shandong Cuisine boasts the prime one among the Eight Cuisines of China. With a long history, Shandong Cuisine once formed an important part in the imperial cuisine and widely promoted in the north China. However it isn't that popular in south China and even the all-embracing Shanghai doesn't have many Shandong Cuisine restaurants.

Shandong Cuisine keeps a variety of cooking techniques and seafood is a feature of it. The typical menu can include dishes such as braised abalone, braised trepang, Sweet and Sour Carp, Jiuzhuan Dachang, and Dezhou Chicken. Various Shandong snacks are also worth trying.
