1) Water Heaven Western Food and Café  水天堂西餐咖啡厅 View In Map
Water Heaven Western food and Café has two stores in Wuxi, with the most well known of them located on Renmin Zhonglu. The décor of this store is graceful and stylish: with its fresh, clean and simple ambiance, going in is like stepping inside a movie depicting the Italian countryside. On the walls are a variety of murals that are meant to add to that fresh country flavour. Grilled mandarin duck spaghetti is the perfect accompaniment to a chicken or pork steak; the meat is tender and juicy, while the pan-fried Australian beef ribs (cooked exactly the way you like it) will make your mouth water. If you want to have a sumptuous Western meal, then head to this top-notch place; you won't be sorry.

92 C° Café is a café with a history. The tiny store was originally opened in a quiet alley, away from the bustle of the city, by a Taiwan native. The arrangement of the store was tightly compacted, but the warm atmosphere made up for the lack of space.
