The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Tucked away in a quiet alley, this restaurant is surprisingly spacious. As the host walks you to one of the eight traditionally furnished private rooms, you pass an extensive manicured garden with stone bridges and ponds. The experienced head chef prepares poetically named Jiangnan dishes that hark back to the old days – local Zhejiang classics stand out in particular. Without à la carte options, menus are tailored to guests’ liking in advance.
From Visitor Experiences
- Eight traditionally furnished private rooms reached through a landscaped garden, closer to a classical courtyard experience than a typical dining room.
- Ingredient traceability made visible at the table, with purchasing records showing which farm supplied the produce.
- A high touch service style where staff narrate dish backstories and sourcing, turning the meal into a guided run through regional food culture.
From Visitor Experiences
- House made soy milk to start the meal, offered sweet or salty.
- Mum's Pork, slow cooked and served with preserved egg.
- Lake turtle soup, and black carp presented West Lake style, including a fish dish plated to look as if it is still swimming.
