The most expensive restaurant in Beijing:

Raffles Jia'an Restaurant of Beijing Hotel & East 33

Raffles of Beijing Hotel is located in the largest and most historic restaurant in Beijing. The oldest West Building, it has a hotel exterior with Chinese and French architectural features, a brass door full of infinite enthusiasm, and an extremely luxurious interior decoration. The towering lobby roof, spacious interior space and arched roof design all show imperial splendor and charm.

However, just like when I visit other restaurants, what I care more about is the food here. It is a pleasant thing to be able to taste delicious food from all over the world without leaving home. Therefore, the two restaurants of the hotel, Dong 33 and Jia An, have always been my favorite places.

At first, I had always wondered about the meaning of the name of the restaurant East 33. After carefully looking at the menu, I suddenly realized that this is not the address of the restaurant, No. 33 East Chang'an Street, which is quite wonderful. It’s true that sometimes the simplest things can have deeper meanings.

The fashionable and avant-garde Dong 33 restaurant perfectly combines the mystery of the East and the elegance of the West. Chinese and Italian dishes are a perfect match, and Chinese and Western dishes are opposite and complement each other. Have you ever tried serving rich pizza with crispy Peking duck? This is the newly created classic combination menu of the two countries created by East 33 Restaurant. It may seem inconsistent and random, but it can fully shock your taste buds. The restaurant is equipped with a modern open kitchen, where diners can have close contact with the chefs, and the operations are all transparent. When watching the chefs cook on-site according to the various needs of the guests, they can't help but feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. It's as if the delicious food at your fingertips has been cooked by yourself.

The seafood is Western style, including smoked salmon, flower crab, Alaskan crab legs, shrimp, scallops, and fresh oysters that are opened to order. You can see white lines on Norwegian salmon - a guarantee of tenderness. Take two slices and pair them with the homemade honey mustard, which is a little spicy and has a strong honey flavor, which is very good. The oysters are medium in size, soft, tender and crispy in the mouth, as if they still have the taste of sea water. In terms of cooked food, perhaps to match the name of the restaurant "East 33", there are 33 types of dumplings, pizzas, and pasta, which is a perfect creation.

For example, many dishes no longer use traditional butter for cooking, but use high-quality olive oil, so that the taste of the dishes will be better. Lighter and healthier.

When enjoying delicious food, it is natural to have good wine to accompany it. A dazzling array of fine French wines are exquisitely stored in glass wine cabinets towering on one side of the restaurant. You can choose your favorites personally. The overall interior decoration of the restaurant is simple yet elegant. The unique windows and exquisite French crystal lamps complement each other, allowing you to find traces of time everywhere. The dancing floor in the center of the restaurant has a history of nearly a hundred years, and the body of an antique black piano is slightly mottled. These make people feel like they have entered the modern era where people were keen on dancing and socializing.
