    Lóuwàilóu Restaurant

    Founded in 1838, this is Hángzhōu's most famous restaurant. The local speciality is xīhú cùyú (西湖醋鱼; sweet and sour carp) and dōngpō pork, but there's a good choice of other well-priced standard dishes.

  4. C

    Oriental Restaurant

    Specialising in food from China’s Muslim Hui minority, this is much more than the average Xīnjiāng restaurant you find all over China. It has lamb kebabs ( 羊肉串; yáng ròu chuàn; Y2), lamb on naan bread ( 囊包肉; nángbāo ròu; Y50) and fried noodle pieces ( 炒片; chǎo piàn; Y12) like all the others, but you’ll also find hummus dishes, doner kebabs and even felafel (Y20). English menu.

  7. Āxiáng Kuàicān

    Food is pricy on Pǔtuóshān as most of it has to be shipped in from the mainland, but restaurants are plentiful and there’s a great choice of seafood, as you’d expect. One handy cheapy, right opposite Putuoshan Hotel, is Āxiáng Kuàicān, a small cafeteria-style restaurant.

    Ajisen

    The reading is high on the chilli-ometer for Ajisen's tasty noodles, but the West Lake perspective offers cooling relief. Ajisen's photo menu makes ordering a breeze, there's free tea and busy, efficient staff. Pay up front.

  14. Zhōujiā Shípǐn

    Very popular and busy place for local specialities opposite Lu Xun's Former Residence; just look at what's on the corner and point, but try to aim for the lovely creamy tarts (奶油小攀; nǎiyóu xiǎopān; Y5). Friendly chefs may entice you in the direction of stinky tofu: tame its flavour with a shot of Shàoxīng rice wine (Y3).

  15. J

    Lǎomǎjiā Miànguǎn

    Simple, popular and unfussy Muslim restaurant stuffed into an old shíkùmén tenement building with a handful of tables and spot-on niúròu lāmiàn (牛肉拉面; beef noodles; Y7) and super-scrummy ròujiāmó (肉夹馍; meat in a bun; Y5).

  16. Chángrén Huntun

    Busy spot with a long history and clean interior; the jīdàn miàn (鸡蛋面; egg and noodles; Y5.50) is salty and tasty, the xīhóngshì dàntāng (西红柿蛋汤; egg and tomato soup; Y5) ample and filling.

  17. Āpó Miànguǎn

    With excellent noodle dishes and outside seating, order up the trademark Apo Noodles (Āpó Miàn; Y18), a steaming and filling bowl of noodles, carrots, greens, egg yolk, mushroom, shrimps and cabbage; down it with a glass of heart-warming and pink alcohol-infused Nǚer hùng (Y28 to Y48).
