Longjing Manor Hangzhou

Longjing Manor sits at 399 Longjing Road, tucked into the hillsides away from the bustle of the city center. The dining room holds a Michelin star, serving traditional and contemporary Chinese cuisine that relies heavily on local, seasonal sourcing.

This is the place to choose if you prefer the quiet rhythm of the tea plantations over the frantic energy found closer to West Lake, which is a fifteen-minute walk away. While other restaurants in the area lean into the tourist rush, the room here runs smart and elegant, prioritizing a measured pace. The focus on ingredients grown or foraged from the immediate hillside gives it a sense of place that the more conventional kitchens in the city lack. You are not coming here for a quick meal; you are coming because the proximity to the China National Tea Museum makes for a deliberate, slow-moving afternoon.
