Wai Po Jia / 外婆家

To acquaint yourself with local Hangzhou cuisine, head to one of Grandma's Kitchen's many locales scattered throughout the city. It's a locals' and tourists' favorite, whose picture menu makes it easy to navigate the many unfamiliar words that might sound confusing to the unprepared visitor. From green tea chicken to fresh potherb of the season, the menu of the restaurant is what locals could get at their grandma's. Oh and it is vegan friendly.
