Located inside the prestigious Regent Hotel, Morton’s Steakhouse, a Chicago-based establishment, enhances Beijing's culinary landscape with its timeless steaks and seafood. Since making its debut in Beijing in 2012, Morton’s has consistently delivered on its commitment to quality, consistency, and authentic hospitality, while also transporting visitors back to the charm of its first restaurant which opened in Chicago in 1978.

Ascending to the second floor of the hotel, guests are immediately welcomed by the iconic 1920s-style Morton’s sign and a display of the high-quality meat being aged. Showcasing the meticulous aging process of their meat cuts, ranging from 30 to 60 days or more, adds a unique touch to the dining experience.

As you walk inside the restaurant, you’ll then notice the signature Wall of Fame, a feature found in every Morton’s Steakhouse worldwide, honoring numerous international celebrities and dignitaries who have dined with them.

 There are large public seating areas and private dining options available, and each table is graced with the Morton’s pig lamp - which came to them by mistake but ended up becoming a beloved symbol of the restaurant. The ambiance, enveloped in jazzy tunes, sets the stage for an authentic Morton’s encounter.

 But on to the main attraction: the food. Morton’s culinary prowess shines through its classic steaks, seafood, appetizers, soups, and salads.  

To start your meal, a generously sized onion-crusted bread roll served with the iconic Morton’s logo butter pat graces every table. The Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, featuring real chunks of crab with roast pepper and creamy avocado sauces, stand out among the delectable starters, as well as their Iberico ham platter and the jumbo shrimp.

Morton’s boasts a diverse selection of prime steaks, including bone-in rib-eye, porterhouse, New York Strip, and filet mignon, alongside the exclusive China-inspired Moutai aged steak.

 If you’re not sure which cut of steak you want, you can request the server to bring out a cut tray to learn about the steaks’ marbling levels, size and composition. After selecting your cut, you can even watch your steak being cooked at Morton’s open kitchen. Just ask your server to give you a heads up before they begin cooking!

Morton’s excels at both surf and turf, so be sure to dive into a sea of tempting premium ocean platters, including their delectable cold-water lobster.

To complement your main course, select from some of the traditional steakhouse sides, such as jumbo asparagus, sautéed spinach and button mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and Parmesan and truffle fries. And for dessert, a do-not-miss is the Morton’s Legendary Sundae, featuring a sinfully good hot chocolate cake and giant scoops of Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream topped with fresh whipped cream and a cherry on top.

Navigating Morton’s extensive wine list is also made easier with the expert staff available to provide recommendations. Guests can seek advice on pairing wines with their steaks or choosing suitable side dishes, creating a personalized dining experience.

 Morton’s goes beyond serving exceptional cuisine; it crafts memorable experiences. Whether for a birthday, graduation, or proposal, the staff will assist in personalizing tables with decorations and customized souvenir menus. And as 2023 marks Morton’s 45th anniversary on December 21, Beijing visitors can anticipate grand celebrations with a Chicago-style flair in the upcoming months.

Whether it's a special occasion or you’re just craving an excellent steak, Morton’s of Chicago at The Regent Hotel in Beijing welcomes guests to indulge in a timeless steakhouse experience, where culinary excellence harmonizes with unmatched hospitality.
