After renovation, this hub dedicated to Chinese tea, art and all things Zen befits Hangzhou’s moniker as a cultural jewel. Its adjoining eatery still serves vegetarian food with Zhejiang twists; all-time favourites like soy-marinated walnuts, fresh tofu skin in thick broth and red braised stinky tofu are still on the menu. Thickly sliced lurid bolete sautéed with green chillies stands out with aroma and toothsome texture.
