Restaurant
Tian Lun Inn (Xihu)
Synonymous with delicious crab dishes, Tian Lun Inn serves different species of this crustacean depending on the season, with its multicourse all-crab meals being the most renowned. With firm, plump flesh and rich, creamy roe, hairy crabs from Taihu Lake are extremely popular year round. The crab roe pastry takes 45 minutes to prepare, but it's well worth the wait. Try local specialities such as West Lake beef soup or West Lake vinegar fish, too.
Michelin Selected (or "listed") restaurants receive recognition for solid performance but fall short of stars or Bib Gourmand, often noted for competence during travel.
