There are plenty of cheap stalls and canteens where you can fill up on stir-fries, noodle soups and river food - especially little crabs and snails - along Huai He Lu. For better sit-down fare try the hotels, or Muslim cooking at Hefei Minzu Fandian on Shuzhou Lu; or ¥39 all-you-can-eat lunches at the popular hotpot restaurant on Jinzhai Lu; and morning dumplings and evening fish dishes at Hebin Yuwei Guan east of Huaqiao Fandian on Changjiang Lu. The best coffee in Hefei, brewed for ¥12 a cup while you wait, is served at the tiny third-floor counter at the Scitech Plaza, attached to the Holiday Inn on Changjiang Dong Lu. In season you can also buy lychees and peaches from hawkers around town.
