A joint venture between two famous restaurants, Golden Silk sits on the lush green banks of West Lake. The modern Jiangnan interior is adorned in silk lanterns, ink paintings and bamboo plants. The menu melds the traditional flavours of Wenzhou, Ningbo and Taizhou, underpinned by solid technique. Seafood is their mainstay: try octopus in pork cartilage and salted cabbage soup or brown croaker steamed with shredded pork and shrimp roe.
