The Norway Woods Bar
I dont really see myself rushing off to Norway Woods of an evening, but should try some time. Charlie of G+ / Wahaha fame is running the place now, and so I am sure it is a pretty slick operation. But perhaps Norway Woods is just as suited for a cheeky afternoon, early evening drink.

Angelos – A Slice of New York in Hangzhou
The Chateaubriand was 20 centimeters long, the whole tail end of a filet of beef. Slightly blackened on the outside, this gargantuan piece of beef cleaved open, almost poetically, to show the soft juicy pink centre…

Paninis!
The Segafredo coffee, double thick double espresso was so strong the backs of my eyes watered and my nose tingled.

Eudora Station
Chatting about Eudora Station, the restaurant’s owner wanted to know if it was a good thing that many were saying that Eudora is the “new Paradise Rock”. I am sure nobody much likes to be compared with somebody or something else, especially when you don’t know the other, but I told Thomas that it was probably a good thing.

Shangri-la Garden Bar
The Shangri-la Garden Bar probably isnt going to be a destination for the evening unless you are staying in the Shang, or tucked into dinner at one of their restaurants, Peppino’s or the Coffee Garden, but if you are ever after a quiet good cocktail with a bit of live background jazz, you cant go [...]

Snack at Shanghai South
If you don’t have an hour to kill at Shanghai South, you would probably never get to find Bricco. Once you know where it is, killing 30 minutes becomes almost a pleasure. Bricco is a deli, almost. Not quite what you find on Sloane Street, but nevertheless, cold beer, pizza slices, tasty sandwiches with good [...]

Double Star Restaurant
It would take an army of people to keep up with the number places opening (and closing) in Hangzhou. It seems as though every Tom, Dick and Harry (read Tan, Dou and Huang – or even 张三李四) want to have a cafe, restaurant or bar. Many of them don’t last too long, or tick over [...]

Costa Coffee
When you walk into either of them it’s kinda hard to put your finger on the major differences between Costa and Starbucks. Costa is from England, Starbucks from America, ok. Starbucks is of course the bigger player here in Hangzhou, although Costa does well in England. After that, well… Inside they are very familiar, almost [...]

The Oriental Restaurant, Landisson Hotel
I really want the Oriental to be a favourite, and while it seems to have everything to make it a favourite there is something just not quite right. For sure it is worth regular visits and perhaps if I went there a little more often I might be able to pin down what is unsettling [...]

Jamaica Cafe
Dont really know why this place is called Jamaica, it is a chain of cafe’s from Spain. And it certainly doesn’t have that Reggae thing going on. Whatever the name, Jamaica Cafe is good, and could be called just about anything. These guys really know about their coffee, or at least I think so, and [...]
