Louwailou
With a choice location on Bai Causeway, and fine lakeside views, the city's most famous restaurant has been going since 1848. It serves up expensive but delicious Hangzhou favourites such as Longjing shrimp and braised pork as well as reasonably priced standard Chinese dishes. Has an English menu.
Ajisen
An array of eye-wateringly spicy noodle dishes and huge fried-rice servings make this affordable Japanese chain an excellent lakeside Hangzhou restaurant choice. There's an English picture menu and free tea. Pay up front.
Oriental Restaurant
Specialising in food from China's Muslim Hui minority, this friendly down-to-earth place with a Turkish twist is located on one of Hangzhou's liveliest restaurant strips - Gaoyin Jie - and is just a stone's throw from the souvenir shops on Qinghefang Old Street. The English menu includes juicy lamb skewers, freshly baked naan bread, hummus (a rare find in China) and falafel.
Omar's Indian Kitchen
A broad menu of solid Indian curries and rice dishes is served in this friendly restaurant. A little extra atmosphere is provided by the video screens showing Bollywood movies, and by staff occasionally singing along.
28 Hubin Road
The signature restaurant of the Hyatt Regency is beautifully designed with slate walls, antique furnishings, and an ancient Chinese imperial courtyard ambience with a contemporary twist. It serves exquisite Hangzhounese specialities and cuisines from neighbouring cities. Perfect for dining to impress.
Grandma's Kitchen
With all the Hangzhou classics at unbeatable prices, this superb restaurant chain is a huge favourite with the locals. There's an English menu with photos of every dish, but if you can't decide for yourself, the braised pork and the chicken in Longjing Tea are both delicious. There's also a handy branch at the main train station.
