How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Ambré Ciel
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Holding a Michelin star in both 2024 and 2025 alongside a Black Pearl Diamond, Ambré Ciel sits at the upper tier of Hangzhou's innovative dining scene. Located on Qingtai Street in Shang Cheng, it pitches creative cooking at the ¥¥¥¥ level, placing it in direct conversation with the city's most considered fine-dining addresses. For Hangzhou, that combination of sustained recognition and ambitious format carries real weight.
Guiyu (Xihu)
1 Michelin star
Positioned along Nanshan Road on the southern bank of West Lake, Guiyu (Xihu) holds a Michelin star for consecutive years alongside a Black Pearl Diamond, making it one of the more formally recognised addresses for Zhejiang cuisine in Hangzhou.
Hangzhou House
1 Michelin star
Hangzhou House holds a Michelin star and Black Pearl Diamond (2025) and sits within walking distance of Lingyin Temple, adjacent to the Amanfayun resort. The kitchen specialises in refined Jiangzhe cooking, with classic Zhejiang dishes reframed through precise technique and inventive combinations. At the ¥¥¥ price tier, it occupies a compelling position in Hangzhou's growing roster of recognised regional restaurants.
Jie Xiang Lou
2 Michelin stars
Among Hangzhou's Michelin-starred Zhejiang dining rooms, Jie Xiang Lou operates at the intersection of classical technique and lakeside retreat, set within the Zixuan Resort on Bapanling Road.
Jin Sha
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
Jin Sha at Four Seasons Hangzhou at West Lake holds a Michelin star, a Black Pearl 3 Diamond rating, and a La Liste score of 92 points in 2026, placing it among the more decorated Zhejiang-cuisine tables in mainland China. Chef Wang Yong's kitchen spans Hangzhounese, Shanghainese, and Cantonese registers, anchored by seasonal seafood and regional classics treated with measured contemporary refinement. The 34-seat garden terrace, shaded by oaks and willows, is among the more considered dining settings in the city.
L'éclat 19
1 Michelin star
L'éclat 19 earned a Michelin star in 2025, making it one of the few French Contemporary addresses in Hangzhou operating at that recognition tier. Under chef Pablo González, the restaurant sits on Manjuelong Road in the Xihu district, priced at the summit end of the city's dining market. For those tracking contemporary European cooking across mainland China, it belongs in the same conversation as Amber in Hong Kong and Odette in Singapore.
Ru Yuan
2 Michelin stars
Ru Yuan holds two Michelin stars (2025) and a place at #59 in Asia's 50 Best Restaurants, positioning it among Hangzhou's most closely watched Zhejiang-cuisine addresses. Under chef Fue Yue Liang, the kitchen operates at the summit of the Xihu district's fine-dining tier, at a price point (¥¥¥¥) that sits above most of its local peers. The awards trajectory, from one star to two in a single cycle, signals a kitchen moving quickly through the region's critical hierarchy.
Sense
1 Michelin star
Sense holds a 2025 Michelin star on Hangzhou's Hefang Street, placing it at the upper tier of the city's innovative dining scene. The kitchen works in the ¥¥¥¥ bracket, positioning it alongside Hangzhou's most ambitious contemporary restaurants.
Song
1 Michelin star
Song holds a 2025 Michelin star for its Ningbo cuisine in Hangzhou's Hubin commercial district, placing it among the city's most closely watched fine-dining addresses. Chef Jeremy Critchfield leads a kitchen focused on the coastal tradition of Ningbo, a cuisine historically underrepresented at Zhejiang's recognised dining tier. The address on Youdian Road puts it within reach of West Lake and the broader Shangcheng dining corridor.
Song
1 Michelin star
Song sits in Hangzhou’s luxury-hotel dining tier, where the room matters almost as much as the kitchen’s read on Zhejiang produce. Jade-coloured archways and silk-clad surfaces point to a polished, localised experience rather than a casual neighbourhood meal, with the Four Seasons Hotel at Hangzhou Center placing it firmly in the city’s central hospitality circuit.
Wild Yeast
1 Michelin star
Wild Yeast holds a Michelin star, a Black Pearl Diamond, and an OAD Asia Top 200 ranking, a triple-recognition combination that positions it among the more credentialed contemporary Chinese tables in Hangzhou. Under Chef Lin Zihan, the kitchen works within Zhejiang's ingredient tradition while applying modern technique. For a ¥¥¥¥ price point, the award density makes a strong case for value within the city's fine-dining tier.
Xin Rong Ji
1 Michelin star
Xin Rong Ji brings Taizhou cuisine to Hangzhou's West Lake district with a level of recognition that few regional Chinese restaurants achieve: one Michelin star, Black Pearl 2 Diamond, and an OAD Asia ranking of #8 in 2024. Under chef Ding Yong, the kitchen holds firm to the coastal flavors of Taizhou while operating at a price point that sits below most of its award-tier peers.
Yu Zhi Lan
1 Michelin star
Yu Zhi Lan brings Lan Guijun's Sichuan cooking to Hangzhou's Shangcheng District, earning a Michelin star in 2025. The restaurant sits at the upper end of the city's fine dining tier, positioning Sichuan cuisine not as a regional import but as a fully considered formal tradition. For a city defined by Zhejiang restraint, that distinction matters.
