Keeping on the high-end, Meat & Wine Co. is a start up that has impressed wine enthusiasts and meat lovers alike, a rare hit for this oft at odds combo.
Maison Boulud is a fancy, up-scale dining option with a view of the square and, at night, the white lights that surround the massive area of Tiananmen. With delicious food, great decor and expert service, its not surprising Maison Boulud is so famous!
Beijing is famous for roast duck, often called Peking Duck. One of the best chains for this is Quanjude, where you'll get an authentic experience overlooking the square. This isn't for the squemish of heart, you'll find the side dishes a bit shocking, duck heart dumpling, duck tongue, and more.
