1913 Restaurant @ The New Hotel

Walking along Beishan Road to see the West Lake, I saw this restaurant at dinner time. It feels good to eat by the West Lake. The taste and service are also good. The price is in line with the environment and history. You need to wait for a table during the peak meal time. It is safer to make an appointment in advance.

There are many kinds of dishes here, not only Hangzhou cuisine but also other specialties. We ordered a few and were quite satisfied. The environment of the restaurant is good, with a relatively light luxury new Chinese style. I will bring my friends here to eat next time.

The environment of Xinxin Hotel is quite good. The authentic Hangzhou cuisine tastes pretty good. The crab meat tofu, steamed prawns, and Dongpo pork are delicious. I can't get used to the West Lake vinegar fish. The price is acceptable and the cost performance is good.

This year, the post-Chinese New Year was quite sad. High-quality free meals were almost all paid by swiping the pass card. I cried for 3 minutes. I passed by the entrance of Xinxin Hotel many times. Looking at the high-end Republican-era buildings, I was discouraged. As soon as I saw the free meal of Xinxin Hotel Lake Shoreline Restaurant on Dianping.com, I immediately swung the pass card decisively. Then I looked back at the menu. Oh, it’s not bad. The dishes are so rich. I applauded myself for my quick eyes and hands. Although it is not far from the unit, it needs to change buses. We arrived at around 6:10 pm. The private room arranged by the hotel for us is on the first floor of the restaurant. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, we can see the West Lake and the lotus in the lake. It is truly a dinner with the West Lake. At around 6:30, almost all the friends were there. The thoughtful store owner arranged for Chen Bo to explain the century-old history of Xinxin Hotel and took us to visit the hotel. Chen Bo’s explanation was humorous and made us want to continue. The service of the old five-star hotel is really great. The waiter served each of us West Lake Longjing and pre-meal fruit. The tea was delicious and the fruit was sweet. The cold dishes were very delicate. The drunken crab and drunken shrimp were the most popular. The beef was of good quality, but a little spicy. The Cordyceps flower chicken soup for each person was very fresh, and the chicken soup was not greasy at all. Edamame is yellow in June. It is good to eat June yellow in leap June. The crab shell is softer now and the meat is very tender. Double-flavored Longjing shrimp is a combination of Longjing shrimp and fried shrimp. Both are river shrimp. Longjing shrimp is very tender and delicious. The local pork in the small abalone local pork is fatter, but the meat is very good. Unlike the pork we usually eat, the small abalone is very big. The casserole fish head is a big pot, it is braised, I personally prefer the fish head soup method over Qiandao Lake. The mandarin duck asparagus tastes a bit bitter, and it can reduce heat in summer. The lotus pond stir-fry contains lotus seeds, lotus root slices and water chestnuts, with an eye-catching shape and a refreshing taste. There is no soup in the crab meat dumplings, and the skin of the dumplings is a bit thick. The fish soup noodles are very fishy. The orange snow lotus seeds look like crab stuffed oranges, and the brown sugar glutinous rice cakes are very crispy.

This is the hotel where I got married! Since the renovation for the G20 summit in early 2016, Xinxin Hotel has changed the Republican style when it opened in 1913. The view restaurant is adjacent to Beishan Street. Watching the rain on the French plane trees and listening to the whispers of the remaining lotus in the West Lake, the warm winter sun is very comfortable. The two-person set meal is still enough. Except that the sea bass is a little old and the greens are overcooked, the rest tastes good, especially the steak, which tastes just right. The service attitude is very good, and they will come forward from time to time to change the plate and pour tea. There are even candied haws for free, and there are also singing performances in the style of the Republic of China, which is unforgettable!

The restaurant specializes in Hangzhou cuisine. As a foodie, you not only need to look for good restaurants, but also need to discover delicious and inexpensive dishes. Duck tongue ~ a small cold dish, a favorite of my friends, and it tastes really good. The beautifully presented duck tongues with a light aroma of wine are delicious and a great dish to go with wine. Fried river prawns ~ There are two sizes and two flavors to choose from, we chose the small portion. The shrimps are a bit small, but many of them have shrimp roe. The shrimp meat is a little hard after being fried in oil. The sweet and salty taste is just right and goes well with rice. Hu's hometown cuisine - green vegetables at the base, tofu stuffed with meat, egg dumplings, simmered in broth, and topped with crispy lard. It tastes warm but not greasy. Hangzhou braised duck ~ half a duck in sauce, the portion is very affordable. The duck meat is firm and tasty, with a sweet and salty taste and a strong sauce flavor, similar to Jiaxing braised duck. Mapo Tofu - Amazing price and taste, the price of nine yuan is like a free gift. The tender tofu is slightly spicy and salty, and is perfect with rice. After the meal, you can also visit the old hotel that retains the style of the Republic of China. The bathroom is particularly distinctive.

In front of Baoshishan Mountain, beside the Broken Bridge, and with Gushan Mountain at its gate, Xinxin Hotel has a great history and is the oldest hotel in Hangzhou. In the 1890s, He Baolin, the owner of Shanghai's earliest chain enterprise "He Jinfeng Yangguang Grocery Store", built three Chinese and Western-style buildings on the site of the East Building, namely Hezhuang. In 1909, it began to receive tourists, and in 1913, a shop sign with the English name "NEWHOTEL" and the Chinese name "Xinxin Hotel" was hung. "Xinxin Hotel" was taken from "The Book of Rites: University" "If you are new every day, you will be new every day, and you will be new every day". Many politicians and celebrities such as Soong Mei-ling, Chiang Ching-kuo, Li Shutong, Xu Zhimo, Feng Zikai, and Wang Daohan have come to this hotel to taste food or stay in this hotel. As soon as you enter the hotel, you will see the doorman wearing a long gown, a top hat, and holding a folding fan. He smiles and bows, and the style of the Republic of China blows in your face! I seemed to have traveled back to the Republic of China, where I ate authentic Hangzhou cuisine: Longjing shrimps were tender and chewy; Song Sao fish soup was sour and refreshing; the scallion stew, Hangzhou three fresh delicacies, and Hangzhou braised duck were all pretty standard... Outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the view of West Lake came into view, and I was intoxicated even without drinking!
