Longjing Manor

Xihu, Longjing Road, China

Longjing Manor is arranged around a Chinese garden of ponds and stone bridges, with meals served in a small collection of private rooms. The kitchen looks to Jiangnan traditions, using local Zhejiang flavours in dishes such as double-boiled duck soup. Freshly made soy milk and small accompaniments introduce the meal. It is especially suited to a group that wants privacy and a measured pace. Reserve well ahead and discuss the menu directly with the restaurant.
