Restaurant
Fu Man Yuan (Xinyuanli)
A household name for traditional Beijing home cooking since 1994. This branch directly opposite the flagship has a glass façade and sleek architecture. In this contemporary setting, calligraphy of the Chinese character "fu" is a nod to tradition. The wallet-friendly dishes may not wow but they are skilfully made with fresh ingredients. The old Beijing vegetarian assortment presents varied textures and sweet soy aromas; the braised Zhoushan hairtail is also worth trying.
Michelin Selected (or "listed") restaurants receive recognition for solid performance but fall short of stars or Bib Gourmand, often noted for competence during travel.
