Lou Wai Lou (Gushan Road Branch)

十年后再次来到楼外楼，百年老店重新装修过了。都换上了韩美林的字以及东阳木雕。来晚了，靠窗户的位置已经没有了。二楼的大厅还是比较宽敞的，大家也都是慕名而来。由于是套餐，上菜速度很快，基本上都是一些经典的菜肴。比较喜欢的还是西湖醋鱼。虽然网上说西湖醋鱼，西湖是西湖，醋是醋，鱼是鱼。但毕竟这菜是杭帮菜头块牌子，还是应该品尝一下，他家的厨艺还过得去，鱼煮的也比较嫩，浇头是酸中带甜。虽然看上去黑乎乎的，但是还好，腥气不是很重，也算是及格了吧。还比较喜欢丝瓜虾仁，松子芦笋，西湖莼菜羹等等，再配上小吃。总的来讲还可以。吃完饭在二楼平台看看近在眼前的西湖夜景。可以值回来一部分钞票。楼外楼它有四层，楼层越高菜做的越好，当然了价格也就越高。下次可以尝试一下到四楼去吃饭了

20230927 Full day: 1. Louwailou is located in the Gushan area of ​​West Lake in Hangzhou, a 5A scenic spot. Gushan is the largest natural island on the north side of West Lake, with the most concentrated cultural landscape. It covers an area of ​​20 hectares and the peak is 38 meters above sea level. It is known as "Penglai Palace in the center of the water". The Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Garden and the Qing Emperor's Southern Tour Palace were both located here. ① Address: Gushan Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. ② Transportation: Direct bus access, it is not easy to park by car. ③ Peak season: None. The indoor hall is closed on Mondays. ④ Time: 5 hours. ⑤ Ticket price: Free, it is an open scenic spot. 2. Louwailou is a century-old store, famous for its West Lake vinegar fish, a famous dish of West Lake, which requires the fish to be starved for 2-3 days to remove the fishy smell. On the shore is the antique main building, and next to the lakeside elegant residence is a fish cage.

The environment is impeccable. You can overlook the West Lake through the window and enjoy the scenery while eating. Song Sao's fish soup is delicious, and the taste of white pepper and ginger does not overpower other flavors. The West Lake vinegar fish we ordered is the cheapest, and it tastes great, but there are too many fish bones. The sauce is still very good.

West Lake is a must-see when visiting Hangzhou. The phrase "If you want to compare West Lake to Xi Shi, heavy makeup and light makeup are always suitable" is the best interpretation of West Lake. I started running before 6 o'clock in the morning, and I was already hungry at 11 o'clock in the afternoon. When I walked to the vicinity of Zhejiang Museum, I looked up and saw the golden plaque of Louwailou. This famous restaurant with a long history of more than 150 years is famous at home and abroad for "dine with delicious food and beautiful scenery". It must not be missed. "Drinking on the first floor, the wind and moon are intoxicating, and the ten-mile lake and mountain are intoxicating." This couplet is about Louwailou, a famous restaurant in West Lake, Hangzhou. It is located on the southern foot of Gushan Mountain with a quiet scenery, facing the beautiful mountains and waters with light makeup. I arrived at the restaurant before 11 o'clock, and there were not many customers, so I chose to sit outdoors on the second floor. The view is wide and facing the West Lake. It can be said that the beautiful scenery alone is enough. Of course, the price paid while enjoying the beautiful scenery is that there are too many mosquitoes outside. It is difficult to order dishes for one person, but fortunately many of Louwailou's famous dishes are in servings, which suits my taste. Songsao Fish Soup, as a famous dish in Hangzhou, is also one of the signature dishes of Louwailou. It is indeed extraordinary. The soup is thick, and I love the slightly sour taste. In the weather of 30°, a sip is particularly appetizing. Dongpo Pork, half fat and half lean pork, neatly arranged mahjong pieces, bright red, like agate, and Louwailou's Dongpo Pork will also give you a small white steamed bun, so that you can eat it with fat, which is less greasy. There is also a leaf of green vegetables in the bowl, which is just right for one person. Soft but not mushy, fat but not greasy. Pianerchuan noodles, it is said to be a representative of Hangzhou cuisine, mainly snow vegetables. I personally can't accept this way of snow vegetables, but the portion is quite large. Another point of complaint is that this noodle dish actually took an hour to wait, and the attitude of the waiter during the period was also lukewarm. Louwailou, a century-old restaurant, has an excellent location and a grand and stable interior decoration. It is an old restaurant with cultural heritage. The restaurant has authentic Chinese decoration style. There is a wood carving worth 5 million yuan next to the escalator. It has the flavor of Jiangnan water town. People come and go in the market, and the characters are lifelike, as if they are walking out of the painting. When you come to Hangzhou, you must try Louwailou. The food and the beautiful scenery make you feel like you are in a painting. Yaya Directions: Store name: Louwailou (Gushan Road Store) Address: No. 30 Gushan Road, Hangzhou (near Pinghu Qiuyue)

I have been thinking about this place since I came here a few years ago. This time I brought my family to Hangzhou to try the authentic Hangzhou cuisine. This restaurant is located by the West Lake. It is very pleasant to enjoy the food after visiting the beautiful scenery of the West Lake. The decoration of the store is ancient and there are many photos of celebrities on display in the store. I accidentally heard a tour guide who was explaining to others that the prices on each floor are different, so I asked before going upstairs, and the result was a unified price. We chose to dine on the third floor. Although there is no terrace on the second floor where you can see the West Lake, the environment is elegant and not noisy, which is suitable for friends who are tired of shopping to get a moment of peace. Let's talk about the dishes. As long as it is a boutique Longjing shrimp, the method of eating one shrimp in two ways allows the taste buds to enjoy different flavors; Song Sao fish soup, a little peppery, but very fresh; beggar chicken bought takeaway, reasonable price, vacuum packaging, suitable for self-eating and giving as a gift, the meat is tasty, and the bones are soft and rotten. In short, Louwailou is a place that makes people want to come back to taste. Not bad!

Beyond the mountains, there are green mountains and beyond the buildings. When will the singing and dancing in West Lake stop? The West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, fried bell, Songsao fish soup, Dongpo pork... here represent the essence of Hangzhou cuisine. It is said that it also hosted a reception lunch during the G20. The restaurant is located by the West Lake and has its own special river fish breeding place in the West Lake. It feels special to eat by the window, but the price is a little expensive.

It was already past 2pm when we were visiting West Lake, so we went to this famous old restaurant nearby to have lunch. Although it was past lunchtime, there were still many people in the restaurant. We ordered West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo pork, Songsao fish soup, and aloe vera. The West Lake vinegar fish was sour and delicious, and the Dongpo pork was crispy and delicious. They all tasted very good.
