Hutong

For high-end Chinese dining with out-of-this-world views, Hutong can dazzle the palate and the eyes. Enter the restaurant through a traditional lunar gate, as though entering a secret culinary society, into an artfully designed, softly lit space filled with antiques and traditional furniture. Try the tasting menu—which includes traditional favorites like sweet and sour soup with prawns, and beef stir frys—or à la carte dishes. Chili crab or steamed cod will whet the appetite, or order something more exotic like roast suckling pig with pancakes, or a sweet and spicy glazed eel.
