The culinary heart of West Lake Gourmet lies in our dedication to authentic Hangzhou cuisine, also known as Zhejiang cuisine. This regional style is characterized by its emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients, light and natural flavors, and delicate cooking techniques. Unlike some other regional Chinese cuisines that feature bold spices, Hangzhou cuisine often highlights the original taste of the ingredients, using subtle seasonings to enhance rather than overpower. You can expect to find dishes that showcase the freshness of seafood from nearby waters, the tenderness of locally sourced meats, and the crispness of seasonal vegetables. Signature dishes from the Hangzhou region that you might find at West Lake Gourmet include the famous Dongpo Pork (braised pork belly), West Lake Fish in Sweet and Sour Sauce, Beggar's Chicken (often cooked in lotus leaves), and Longjing Shrimp (shrimp stir-fried with Longjing tea leaves). Our menu is carefully curated to offer a representative selection of Hangzhou's culinary treasures, prepared with traditional methods to ensure authenticity.

A key feature of Hangzhou cuisine, and therefore of West Lake Gourmet, is the emphasis on subtle and balanced flavors. Dishes are often prepared using techniques such as stir-frying, steaming, and braising, with a focus on preserving the natural taste and texture of the ingredients. Sauces are typically light and nuanced, often incorporating ingredients like rice wine, vinegar, and soy sauce in delicate proportions. The presentation of dishes is also often elegant and understated, reflecting the refined nature of this culinary tradition. At West Lake Gourmet, we strive to capture the essence of this culinary philosophy, offering dishes that are both flavorful and subtly sophisticated.
