The Chengdu Bookworm was the first branch of the popular Beijing restaurant, bar and lending library to open in China. It follows basically the same format but, if anything, has an even more quaint and charming character. The menu has a focus on freshness, with a variety of salads, sandwiches, pastas made with quality ingredients and averaging around ¥40. There are also heavier meat-based main courses on offer and some delicious desserts. But even if you don’t plan to eat it’s well worth visiting the Bookworm. They host live music every Friday and Saturday night as well as a slew of other events (check the website for details). And, of course, there are the books – a collection of over 5000 to lend as well as a selection to buy. One of the handiest items they sell is a small handbook with the Chinese address of every place you could wish to go to in Chengdu, ready to show taxi drivers.
