If ever there was a venue whose menu perfectly fits its ambience this is it! Sixteen of us sat down to celebrate joint 40th birthdays and the whole experience couldn't have been bettered. There's not a vast choice but from the small plates ( butterfly prawns, sausage bites, mac and cheese, etc.) through to mains (burgers, tacos, salt beef sarnies, pizzas ) it was perfection. We'd pre ordered ,being a large party, and having arrived as planned at 1230hrs and ordered drinks our food was served on the dot of 1245hrs, as agreed. We were a diverse group from 2 to septuagenarian and everyone thought it was great. We'll be back again and from the compliments flying about so will all our guests
We had a great tour with Becci. She was very knowledgeable and a fun person to spend the evening with. Some of the food was a bit outside our comfort zone for most of us but my husband gave everything a try. Becci was also really helpful with assisting us with our other travel plans.
We had Cactus as our guide and she was fantastic. She took us to several restaurants where we got to eat traditional dishes. She gave us great information about the food and the history of the food and culture. This was a highlight of our trip to Beijing! If you want a fabulous evening with great food and history this is for you. I highly recommend it.
