Lou Wai Lou
Restaurant Lou Wai Lou Restaurant was founded by Hong Ruitang in 1848, during the Qing Dynasty. Located by West Lake at 30 Gushan Road, it is renowned for serving traditional Hangzhou dishes and is a perfect place to view the West Lake scenery. In the restaurant’s cooking philosophy, the ingredients should be fresh, live, and tender in order to highlight their original flavors.

It neighbors lots of natural and cultural scenic spots such as Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake, Fang-He (Crane) Pavilion, Manao (Agate) Slope, Xiling Bridge, and SU Xiaoxiao’s Tomb.
Louwailou Restaurant has been renovated for six times since the mid-1990s to better display the history and culture of the West Lake. In this way, customers can not only enjoy the food and the landscape, but feel the profound cultural atmosphere and taste of the West Lake.
