4Corners
$$
SOUTHEAST ASIAN
A laid-back spot with a cosy outside area, 4Corners serves up a medley of zingy Viet-
namese and Thai-influenced dishes. There's a tremendous selection of spring rolls for those
who just want to graze while imbibing one of the excellent martinis (¥40), and live music
some nights too. It's hidden down a
hutong
just off Gulou Xidajie.

There's a marvellous view over Houhai (

) here, while the catalogue-sized menu
is heavy on the searing, spicy flavours of Hunan province. But not every dish will take the
lining off your mouth; try the home-style pork or the boiled frog

PIZZA
Hard to find - it's down a
hutong
off Houhai - but make the effort because the trademark
square, and very large, pizzas here are among the best in town. There are numerous options
to choose from, or build your own. It has good veggie burgers, too. Book ahead at peak
hours.
