28 Hubin Road
Shangcheng, Hangzhou
The lakeside dining room that made Hangzhou cuisine famous again, home of the legendary layered pork with lotus leaf.
28 Hubin Road earned its fame with one dish - the braised pork 'pagoda' with lotus leaf buns that chefs still copy across China - and kept it with a kitchen that treats West Lake's bounty like a season's finest produce.
The dining room overlooks the lake from the Grand Hyatt, but the atmosphere is pure Hangzhou: quiet, ceremonial, and confident. The tasting menu walks through the city's greatest hits, and the service team will happily explain the story behind each course. Book the lake-view tables well ahead.
Best for: The lakeside table that put modern Hangzhou cuisine on the map.
