Local benbang cai with a Hangzhou flare is the star at this smart cozy restaurant. Flavors are naturally sweet and heavy yet well balanced, unlike most local equivalents, and the presentation, service and atmosphere are a cut above your average Shanghai cai dining hall.
Le Patio serves Hangzhou-style cuisine in a bright, clean, and modern atmosphere. White place settings and rich mahogany tables add warmth to the cozy interior. It's a shame the menu hasn't received the same eye to detail. We began with a syrupy sweet pumpkin soup (¥6) which lacked its namesake's flavor. Shrimp steamed on hot river stones (¥48) were fresh yet indistinguishable from offerings found at other restaurants. Dongpo rou (¥38) was deliciously fatty, its flavor balanced by the slight saltiness of pickled vegetables, and our cabbage simmered in pork broth (¥28) was light and tender yet pleasingly crisp. An overpower ingly sweet manto and minced beef (¥32) followed; placing the mince inside hollowed-out manto was a novel touch. Shanghai fried rice (¥22) was a noteworthy addition to our meal. The menu is completely in Chinese with few pictures and the staff is accordingly helpful. An example of style over substance, Le Patio, while pleasant, is better recommended to those of us who live in the immediate vicinity. –Bryan Harsar
