Green Tea Restaurant

Top choice in Hangzhou


Often packed, this excellent Hangzhou restaurant, on the 3rd floor of Intime Mall, has superb food. With a bare-brick finish and rows of clay teapots, the low-lit dining room is sleek and trendy. Prices are surprisingly low, with the signature fish-head dish the most expensive thing on the menu at ¥68. Eggplant claypot and a Cantonese bread and ice-cream dessert are also sensational.

Ordering can get complicated: scan the QR code on the table and select dishes direct through the menu that will load up on your phone. If you're having trouble, staff are happy to help.
