History
The restaurant, discreetly hidden on the shore of West Lake in Maojiabu, is a rare quiet and elegant place along the West Lake. The restaurant mainly features Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, refining and elevating the specialties from different regions of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It also selects high-quality and precious ingredients from different cities, combining the cooking methods of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine to suit the dining habits of locals and tourists. In addition, it offers a wide range of red and white wines, spirits, sake, Chinese liquor, Shaoxing yellow wine, various teas from different regions of China, and professional tea art services. The restaurant's signature healthy drinks are also a highlight, creating a high-end Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine restaurant that gathers cultural elements from both the East and the West. The restaurant draws design inspiration from the Republic of China period in the 1920s and 1930s. The Republic of China era was a period of prosperity for new Chinese thoughts and a time when Chinese and Western ideas and cultures collided vigorously. It saw the emergence of many intellectuals, writers, poets, artists, musicians, economists, and scientists, leaving a distinctive cultural imprint on modern China. Elite classes from different eras all sought equality of status and recognition of ideas and beliefs. In today's society, it's no different. Therefore, our restaurant aims to be a gathering place for workplace leaders, business elites, and fashion trendsetters - a place to find recognition and belonging among peers in the bustling city.
