To enjoy the gastronomy in Beijing

If you like traveling, you will like Shangrilá. A different book from trips, in which the protagonist, the author who offers you this information about Beijing, penetrates in some of the most remote regions of China. In this succession of mountains that spread to the south of Sichuan and the northwest of Yunnan, inhabited by related peoples of some form with the Tibetan culture, as the Yi, the Moso, the Naxi or the Bai. Following the track that the always damned Yi mark, it will finish bottled in the Shangrilá search.

Since we have already said Beijing it is an enormous city, and most of the travelers, tired as they come of a day of bustle, at the time of choosing a restaurant they consider his location to be very important. Of between the hundreds of restaurants with which Beijing is provided, for me those of western meal that more usually please are:

Carmen Tapas: Sanlitun Beijie. In Nal Patioi. Tel: 6416 6231.
That thing about less is that there Spanish kitchen is, really, but in certain form there is reflected the ambience that one would want to find in Beijing. The covers of Carlos Chordi finish with the homesickness of the newly arrived persons. It has an excellent menu at midday. Finally, it is a stop forced for everything and who travels to Beijing since it is always to the last one of the gastronomic, playful and cultural activities of the capital. Around there is a good number of bars for which he wants to continue with the revelry.

Bleu Marine: Guanghua lu, number 5. Tel: 13910 020931.
It was one of the first French restaurants that were opened in Beijing, in spite of the step of the years, it supports an excellent quality. A reason for which the travelers end up by having dinner there is for being placed just opposite the Street of the Silk, which for his buys is a forced stop of all the travelers. The reason for which they usually repeat is the quality of the meal, and the amiability of Torben Vester, with a collection of home-made liquors with which it coaxes even the most serious clients.

Of Chinese meal, which after all is what it is necessary to eat:
For the area of the lakes of Houhai, I would escape of those who are in the alleys, to try
Nuage. Qianhai dongyan, 22. In the north shore of the lake of Houhai, along with the bridge.
When Nuage was opened that one still not existed child Disneyworld who meets at present about the lakes. In these years, in Beijing, to open a place with taste was still important. Bai Fang did it. The decoration is precisely for what one waits in his trip to Asia.
The meal is Vietnamese, as well as the garments of the barmaids. Quite correct. The varieties of rollitos, the meats and the salads, they have never disappointed me. The price is reasonable.

Richang. In the street Dianmen (The avenue chatters for the one that takes you the taxi). Specialized especially in rices to the mud casserole, really rich.

Baguobuyi. Dianamen dongdajie, 112. Tel: 6400 8888.
It is specializing in Sichuan meal, but it does not sting very much, and does not embitter the meal to anybody. The restaurant is in the ancient Beijing, in a quite agreeable small house. It is necessary to come before eight o'clock, since at this hour it has a small spectacle (10 minutes) of opera of Sichuan. A type of very curious opera that fascinates Chinese and foreigners. Also it catches very close to the street Nanluoguxiang, one of the best places a drink has been after the dinner.

The visit to the called Street of the Bogeys, for his restaurants are opened until high hours of the dawn, is different of the almost obligatory activities in the night of Beijing. There Huajia Yiyuan stands out, with two restaurants in the respective ends of the street. The nearest to the Second Belt, more modern, and the one that is along with Beixinjiao, with traditional entry and courtyards of classic style.

Bought Donghuamen meals: When one walks along Wang Fujing, the pedestrian street of Beijing and walk forced for all the visitors, it is seen that to the evening in the part west of the street there are two meals markets. One is after a traditional arch, curiously this is the new one (and for me of worse quality), other is the one that is in the street Donghuamen, which although it seems newer, is the everlasting market. It has a good plates variety, from the ubiquitous lamb skewers, to the meat bocadillitos with vegetables, the rice with pineapple, the piquant tagliatelle tantanmian, the oversweet fruits, and the most curious thing for the travelers: the skewers of scorpions, grasshopper and chrysalises of butterfly, stars and sea urchins, etc.

- Hong Kong Food City: An outstanding figure of the Cantonese meal, which bears fashions and times. We loved the last time the piglet and the pig to the barbecue.

- Shun Feng: It is the excellent seafood restaurant of Beijing, with six or seven houses for the whole Beijing. The fishbowls seem of an aquarium. Reasonable quality boasted.

For that they want to know what the beijinés of the street eats when it goes out of his office, nothing better than the Street of Meals placed in the cellar of the Oriental shopping center Square, to the beginning of the street Wang Fujing
