28 Hu Bin Road
Zhejiang
28 HuBin Road is the signature Chinese restaurant at Grand Hyatt Hangzhou, close to the eastern shore of West Lake. Its two-level interior takes inspiration from a Song dynasty mansion, with rich timber, natural stone and a courtyard creating a more residential atmosphere than a conventional hotel dining room. The kitchen specialises in the cooking of Hangzhou, Suzhou and the Huaiyang region. Traditional preparations are given careful presentation, with a focus on the balance of texture, seasoning and the natural character of the ingredients. Two dishes capture its approach particularly clearly. Beggar's chicken is enclosed in lotus leaves and clay before baking, while Dongpo pork arrives arranged as an intricate pyramid. Both give familiar regional recipes a sense of theatre without losing their connection to local food traditions. A substantial international wine cellar complements the menu, and private dining rooms make the restaurant useful for celebrations and business gatherings. It is an appealing choice for visitors who want to explore the region's cooking in depth, with West Lake close enough to make a walk part of the occasion.
