Where can I eat authentic Hangzhou cuisine?

These famous restaurants in Hangzhou may not boast limitless deliciousness, but they definitely serve authentic Hangzhou cuisine. Why not come and give it a try?

Hangzhou Restaurant

As the name suggests, it is one of the time-honored restaurants in Hangzhou, offering authentic Hangzhou flavors with high cost performance. The Longjing Shrimp, made from river shrimp, is tender, smooth, and delicious. The shrimp meat is not mushy and has a slight chewiness. Although the dish looks small when served, it is actually quite filling. The taste is authentic, highly recommended.

Feile Restaurant

The name sounds like a Western restaurant, but it is actually an authentic Hangzhou cuisine restaurant. The restaurant is not large, with just over ten tables, and if you go late, you will definitely have to wait for a seat. The nearby Xiao Nan Guo and Tian Tian Wang restaurants also have good reputations.

Kuiyuan Restaurant

Shrimp Pian'er Chuan, the topping of the noodles mainly consists of snow vegetables, bamboo shoots, and lean meat slices, which are delicious and tasty. Its specialty lies in the freshness of the preserved vegetables and bamboo shoots, leaving a lasting aftertaste. Highly recommended.

Zhi Wei Guan

Cat's Ear Noodles, one of Zhi Wei Guan's signature dishes, gets its name because the dough pieces resemble cat ears. A small bowl with a fresh and light broth, the chewy cat's ear noodles do not fall apart easily. It's no wonder this is a signature dish of the famous Hangzhou snack shop. Highly recommended. Glutinous Rice Stuffed Lotus Root, with the softness of glutinous rice and the sweetness of lotus root, the two complement each other perfectly. The taste is truly amazing. Highly recommended.

Xinfeng Snacks

A long-established breakfast shop in Hangzhou. Inside, they sell breakfast items such as shrimp dumplings and shrimp wontons, while outside, they sell take-away items like donuts and buns. The shop is small, and even after 9 a.m., the seats inside are still fully occupied. Shrimp wontons, one of the shop's specialties, are said to sell thousands of bowls every day, and the taste has remained unchanged for over thirty years. The shrimp inside the wontons is plump, and the flavor exceeds expectations. Each bowl costs seven yuan, offering great value for money. Highly recommended!

Faxi Temple Vegetarian Meal

The vegetarian meal is not much, similar to the portion you get in a university canteen, mainly consisting of Chinese cabbage and a small amount of soy products. Perhaps this temple has been making this dish for many years, and the taste is quite amazing. It can be eaten directly with rice. Highly recommended!
