About
Imagine a city that has been wealthy for thousands of years – what would their street food look like? On this tour, you’ll walk through lush gardens and 800-year old monasteries while stopping to enjoy Suzhou’s incredibly rich food and culture, in true Suzhou fashion. We only stop at local, family run stops that you would never find on your own. Try over a dozen dishes including Suzhou's famous noodles, bubble wantons that are as fun as they sound, and end at an indie Chinese cafe with a tea or coffee to experience Suzhou’s burgeoning cafe culture amidst this traditional ancient neighborhood. Our food tours include unlimited food and drinks.

Having been on a Lost Plate food tour in Phnom Penh earlier in the year, I was absolutely delighted to find the newly launched Suzhou equivalent.
I hoped that, as it was my last day in Suzhou after living there for nearly a year, it would be a memorable experience.
I wasn't disappointed...
Agnes and Emily were very attentive hosts and made sure everyone had everything they needed.
The food was fantastic and quite varied, a lot of work had obviously been put into selecting top quality yet authentic restaurants.
The coffee shop at the end was quite a find too - a fitting end to an excellent tour and my stay in Suzhou.
In fact I've promised to take my Chinese friend in Xi'an on the Xi'an tour when I next pay her a visit.
TLDR, just do it - you won't regret it, even if you think you know Suzhou food.

What an experience to discover Suzhou! Joy took us on an adventure, helping us discover parts of the ancient city we would never find ourselves. Her knowledge and understanding of the area was incredible and we loved every second of it. You simply can’t find these places to eat on your own as a tourist. This is my second Lost Plate tour after an equally amazing experience in Shanghai. I’m so glad I chose to do both!

Great tour to get to know very local places and food you probably wouldn’t find on your own. Kate has been an awesome guide and could explain us each and every detail. I can highly recommend this tour!

Learning about the city and local food culture. The alley ways and hidden garden and temple was a huge plus.

The tour leads through the old town with a nice park and a lot of amazing Suzhou style food, such as noodle soup, donuts rolled in a pancake with soya milk, jiaozi and tofu dumpling, wonton soup. I couldn't really say which one my favorite was, because all dishes were unique and super delicious we haven't eaten it before. The coffee house was the perfect ending with its cold coffee creations. We had a great time with our guide, Joy and enjoyed the tour very much.

I had a great experience on that tour.
You basically wander in small alleys in Old Suzhou and eat at very tiny little restaurants along the way. Great for picture taking and for eating local dishes.
I will definitely bring friends from out of town with me on this tour.

Just got back from the Suzhou Food tour completely stuffed and in a food coma. We visited at least 6 places trying different noodles, dumplings, soya milk and fried bread and finishing the tour with a coffee. In between restaurants we meandered through alleyways and streets absorbing the local life.
I really enjoyed the food and tried out ones that I wouldn't normally order. Lostplate were really accommodating to peoples' dietary requirements. Come hungry and pace yourself, you cannot finish all the food during the tour for sure, which is such a shame, but definitely can try them!

I have lived in Suzhou for 3 years，but I am still a newbie when it comes to local food. I learned a lot and went to some new places. My favorite food was the Suzhou style noodles with shrimp. I highly recommend this tour.
