INDIAN DELICACIES in Beijing
This was my first time trying Indian food and I must say I was quite impressed. Dastaan Restaurant located in Sanlitun was recommended to me and it did not disappoint.
Ambiance - Such a homely vibe. I went on a Wednesday and they were offering buffet style dining and everything was well laid out. The service was really good.
Highlights - I didn’t even look at the names of the food but I tried half a spoonful of everything and it was amazinggggg 😍 Also for dessert I tried one of the little sweet cakes and it was delicious.
Avg. Price per Person - I paid 148RMB for the buffet which included all you can eat and drink including wine and beer.

Hot Pot with Peking Opera
Address - Sanlitun
Ambiance/Facilities - Hot Pot restaurant
Highlights - dinner and performance
Avg. Price per Person - 200
Rating - ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Really good Hot Pot with northern China style pots. You can have individual pots or big one for sharing. This restaurant is very popular so you might want to book in advance or come early, they open at 17:30. We came for a friends birthday and the restaurant gave her a bowl or birthday noodles for free. In this place you can also bring your own wine and they will cool it down for you if needed. They also have a good selection of wine and tap beer and cocktails. Every hour from 19:00 they have a Peking Opera performance on a stage in the middle of the room and at the same time the bartenders will do a show in the bar. Super cool place to take new guests in town and the food is really good 👍 #hotpot #foodie #sanlitun #beijing #pekingopera

Highlights - the dirty coconut coffee, the truffle fries (or seafood if you aren’t allergic like i am, as mu partner says it’s delicious)

Red Lobster in Beijing
That classic American chain restaurant, Red Lobster, where people go to try lobster, but leave loving the cheddar bay biscuits, also has a few locations in China. One of them is at Taikoo Li in Beijing.
Address - 三里屯路19号院三里屯太古里南区S4号楼三层S4-30单元
Ambiance/Facilities - This is a fast casual restaurant so don't expect anything fancy even though you're having lobster for dinner. That said though, the hostess was very welcoming and even gave us a free dessert after we had too wait so long for our food.
Highlights - Of course you come to Red Lobster for the lobster. You can have it in all kinds of dishes. I tried a lobster pasta and a lobster bisque soup, which were both really tasty. The real Red Lobster fan, however, knows the worth of the cheddar Bay biscuits that are buttery and delicious and best of all free of charge.
Avg. Price per Person - 200 rmb

It's open! It's open!
Sanlitun finally has one!
My Guizhou colleagues praised it like crazy!
Sanlitun's hidden gem, grilled meat on a griddle ▶️ a few people around a big iron plate! The middle is a pot of broth
Lots of dishes to choose from! Average price is 60-70 yuan, great value for money
Pork belly, cured meat, chicken, tofu, potatoes...
Everything can be grilled with the soul dipping sauce
So delicious

A hidden but delicious late-night eatery in Sanlitun.
Found a healing izakaya perfect for a date! This restaurant is hidden in a small alley in Sanlitun, with dim lighting and wooden decor, as if you have traveled to a Japanese late-night izakaya 🍶, with a great atmosphere!
🥢 Curry Beef Burger Rice
The aroma of this dish is captivating, with rich curry and tender beef, creating a particularly rich taste. The beef is stewed until very tender, and the burger rice is soaked in curry sauce, so satisfying!
🥢 Mentaiko Cheese Baked Potato
A blessing for cheese lovers! The salty and fragrant mentaiko and rich cheese are perfectly combined, and the baked potato is golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
🥢 Salt Grilled Pigeon Breast
A simple salt grill brings a stunning taste experience. The pigeon breast is tender, and it pairs perfectly with a cup of sake.
🥢 Salt Grilled Pigeon Leg
Compared to pigeon breast, pigeon leg has a firmer and chewier texture. A bite full of freshness and charred aroma, definitely worth a try.
🥢 Foie Gras Sushi
The foie gras is dense and delicate, melting in your mouth, paired with slightly sweet sushi rice, creating a strong sense of taste layers 👍🏻

Beijing Meriton M Hotel.
No ads💚Affordable hotel with terrace in Sanlitun, Beijing|||This hotel is close to Tuanjiehu Subway Station on Line 10, so it's very convenient to get around!
There are many room types, and the environment and style are fresh and elegant. The terrace is in the shape of a courtyard, and the scenery is beautiful. There are residential buildings nearby, so it's very quiet.
There is a cafe next to the front desk, and the decor is very nice, perfect for afternoon tea and photos. Most importantly, there are many cats at the front desk. It's so nice to have cats to play with when you're away from home!
I stayed for 7 days, and there is a washer-dryer in the room, so it's clean and hygienic, and you don't have to worry about having nowhere to dry your clothes~
I want to come to Beijing again next time🥹 and stay here again

Don't miss the fall scenery on Sanlitun East 5th Street.
This year, you definitely can't miss the fall scenery on Sanlitun East 5th Street.
This is usually a closed embassy street, but it opens to the public when the ginkgo trees turn yellow. Remember to bring your ID card, as you need to show it to enter.
The large, layered ginkgo trees are truly spectacular.
📍Sanlitun East 5th Street
Exit A of Agricultural Exhibition Center Station, cross the street

📍Located on the Ginkgo Avenue on Sanlitun East 5th Street
Because it is in the embassy area, you need to show your ID to enter (a photo is fine)
It is estimated that the temperature will drop next week and the leaves will fall. Go quickly if you want to go.

Sanlitun! So many people just after opening.
It looks like it will be popular! 🔥
Located in Sanlitun Hongjie Building

Overlooking the street view of Sanlitun, this seat is hard to find
Recommended sour soup! Very refreshing and appetizing, not too spicy
Farm chicken kidney, crispy potato, fish bubble
Especially the homemade stinky tofu! Very tasty
Charcoal grilled lamb chops, grilled fresh daylily, charcoal grilled yellow croaker
Desserts are also great: handmade mango shaved ice/brown sugar ice dumplings

Stayed at this art hotel in Sanlitun for you!
🏠Stayed at this art hotel in Sanlitun on a business trip to Beijing
✅The location is great, right next to Sanlitun Pedestrian Street. Stayed in a 60 sqm room this time, which was spacious but irregular
The bathtub is rectangular and located next to the bed. The bathroom amenities are all Duravit
✅If it was 10 years ago when it first opened, it would definitely be top-tier. Now, the hardware is still good, and the room amenities are excellent
Mineral water in Puna glass bottles are provided for environmental protection
✅The mini bar is fully stocked and everything is free. Slippers are available in different sizes and are placed in cotton bags, which are comfortable
Breakfast is semi-buffet style and worth trying. The fruit selection includes figs

Holly's has gone crazy and quietly opened a new Chinese-style dark bar in Sanlitun...
Unbelievable! A Chinese-style bar has emerged in Sanlitun Jiandianyuan📍
From Holly's~
It's a hit from the start... It's expected to be a hit when it opens on October 1🛎️
It's not just about the pretty drinks👏
The Chinese-style elements are everywhere
Look up and see the dragon🐲 The dark and beautiful design is pleasing and stylish
A serious interpretation of the national trend is the top...
The rug next door is a two-story building📍
✔️The first floor is full of creative Chinese-style cocktails
✔️You can go straight to the second floor for a fresh special drink when you're tipsy
Not just pretty drinks
Start with a welcome drink and a fortune cookie~
Then from the menu to the design, each cup has super immersive interaction❗️
You can always see the thoughtful Chinese design
It's also very new and fun outside of the high order~
At least in Beijing! This year!
It will be a good place to have a drink with friends and make people's eyes shine again and again...

Sanlitun! Open! It's really good to come & Black Swan...
Sanlitun! Open! It's really good to come & Black Swan...
I just said that the new Chinese-style bar still depends on Beijing!! In the Sanlitun Mechanical and Electrical Institute, the newly opened bar is too foreign
The space on the second floor, the new Chinese-style dragon that comes into view when you enter the door, every beautiful Chinese-style wine amazes me~
It's really good to come/Black Swan Group... It's so dazzling! I like it too much! Recommend to everyone!!
Starting from the welcome wine, you can put the dragon tattoo on your hand and order the wine menu with interactive experience!! There will be surprises after the flashlight is illuminated. The 12 beautiful wines really want to all in...hhh
Recommend fireworks are easy to cool, there will be fire, absolutely beautiful!!
The fortune drink is fruit-flavored, the degree is relatively low and suitable for girls
The bird cage cup is also impressive, the refreshing grapefruit lemon, and there are exquisite printed cookies on it!
There are also many choices for snacks, and the products are really conscientious...
And! The wine list and style on the second floor are completely different!! The juice used in the wine is freshly squeezed~
Try it again next time, it belongs to the +1 series that will come back again!!

Sanlitun Taikoo Li Travel Guide:
Opening hours: 10:00-22:00
Subway (Line 10 Tuanjiehu Station Exit A, walk 500 meters west)
North Area: A gathering place for high-end luxury brands and catering, suitable for finding high-end brands and exquisite food. There are relatively few people here, which is more suitable for taking photos and checking in.
South Area: A gathering place for trendy brands and catering, suitable for finding fashion trends and authentic flavors. There are a total of four floors. The third and fourth floors are basically all delicious. The first and second floors are cosmetics and some trendy brand clothing. The basement is also trendy clothing and drinks and supermarkets.
Must-eat guide:
Conscience price bread brand: Butter and Bread, basically all are 10-20 bread desserts, which is a cost-effective and delicious shop in Sanlitun. It takes at least half an hour to queue up. Location (walk forward from the entrance of Sephora)
wenchi Ice Cream: The best ice cream shop I have ever eaten in dozens of ice cream shops (I love raspberries the most, sour and sweet and not greasy at all) The chocolate flavor varies, after all, everyone's acceptance of bitterness is different.
High-end supermarket: The fresh-cut fruit and sausages inside are delicious, suitable for eating while shopping, replenishing energy, and the price is beautiful. The glass door of S3 before buying bread goes down the elevator~
It is recommended to go to the West District for dinner. There are many shops in the South District that are dry grass, greasy meat, and tasteless foreign food bread. I have eaten several of them and they are not delicious and expensive...
West District: A gathering place for affordable clothing (Uniqlo) and vintage bicycles, suitable for finding affordable fashion items and vintage culture.

Sanlitun! It's so crowded because it just opened!!!
Sanlitun! It's not ordinary.
Good wine needs no bush.
This bar just opened! It caught my eye.
It's very popular at night!
Three or five friends, or sitting by the window,
or at the bar, or on the sofa,
it's very lazy! And not very noisy.
Good wine is the last word.
Each wine has a nice name.
There is a small shop in the cloud, Big Fish & Begonia... it's thought-provoking.
The glasses are also different, with beautiful little flowers!
Some are even a conch.
Men's gathering, couple's date,
it's too chill!!!

Sanlitun | A Greek restaurant with a great atmosphere.
| A Greek restaurant with a great atmosphere. 🏡 A treasure trove of Greek 🇬🇷 bistro. The decor is very unique, with a hand-carved dome that looks very high-end. The overall decor of the restaurant is simple and elegant, making it a great place for a date. 👍🏻 You can also celebrate your birthday here.
🌮 Open Tuna Sandwich with Fig
The fig is very sweet and fragrant, paired with the salty tuna, the sweet and salty combination is just right. The dish is also very beautiful, highly recommended! The taste is really good.
🍲 Mediterranean Wild Rice Seafood Stew
This is my top 1 here, it's really delicious. It's a curry-flavored seafood rice!! And it's wild rice, the taste is really good and the texture is good. There are all kinds of seafood in the rice. You must order this when you come here!
🥓 Greek Smoked Sausage Platter
This one, when it first came up, there were only three. I said it seemed a little less, but when I cut it open and ate it, I found it was too much. 🥹 The taste is also very good. If you like smoked sausage, don't miss it! The two of us didn't even finish this plate.
🥞 Cloud Fruit Souffle
This is really a big portion, I was stunned when it came up. It's sweet and has yogurt, plus the fragrance of the fruit is really delicious. It's really suitable for a date or a birthday, and you can order a portion as a cake. It's also good for taking pictures.
I really like the songs they play in the restaurant, and the Greek food feels very healthy. It's perfect for a fat-reducing diet. I love it!
