Temple Restaurant Beijing
Gourmet European dining on the grounds of a former Tibetan temple



Consistently held as one of the city’s finest Western-cuisine dining experiences, Temple Restaurant Beijing is helped in no small measure by the meticulous attention to detail of Belgian owner Ignace Lecleir. Set within the Temple Hotel, this light, airy space oozes clean modernity, in contrast to the ornate historic setting. Specialities include rice-flake-crusted lobster, black cod with chorizo crisps and all-day braised ribs.
