New Beijing Bars & Restaurants: June 2018

By That's Beijing, June 4, 2018

Marco's Teppan & Charcoal

For most of us, teppanyaki is experienced at a chain restaurant where a man who is probably not Japanese chops up meat and vegetables on a large hot iron table and tosses shrimp into his hat. This is not the case with Marco's Teppan & Charcoal.

Sori Tapas & Wine

Sorì is casually sophisticated, but relaxed, and we appreciate the menu’s tight, curated edit. The result is that, inside Sorì, we feel completely at ease (even before our rounds of wine). And ultimately, that’s what you want in a wine and tapas bar, right? A place where you can relax. A place, in Beijing, where you can forget about all the bricks.

The Rug Cafe

The Rug’s bar is spacious and well-appointed, and its food menu is the perfect accompaniment to your wine. With a location this close to high-end shopping and office towers, chances are you’ll end up here soon. And soon again thereafter.

Serene

Freshness is the name of the game at Serene. Boasting a refined Italian menu of classic appetizers, beautiful pasta and risottos, and stunning mains, there are no cheap gimmicks here.

Jing

Stunning refinement and pristine service have always been the trademark of Jing, The Peninsula Beijing’s French-inspired fine-dining restaurant. But now, a new menu features creatively-balanced dishes with modern French flare and Asian flavors.

Waspark

Is this the best burger in town? Hutong hipsters of Beijing are quick to claim so, and they have a point.

Barista

Cult-favorite third-wave coffee makers Barista have opened in Nali Patio, and despite the Sanlitun location, it still retains the same small and intimate vibes of the original Wudaoying spot.

Salsa House

This Liangmaqiao-via-Tianjin restaurant offers good-value Chinese food in a pleasant, if slightly offbeat, setting.

Seesaw Coffee

Shanghai-based coffee shop Seesaw has made its debut in Beijing at – where else – Wangfujing’s new WF Central, where everything is opening these days.
