Lu Cai

Chaoyang, Beijing

4.7(540 reviews)
Shandong CuisineBlack PearlElegant

Beijing's definitive Shandong fine-dining house, where the cuisine that once fed the imperial court is served with quiet luxury.

Lu Cai (Lu Style) revives Shandong cuisine - the ancestor of most northern Chinese cooking and the taste of the Qing court - in a dining room of dark wood, soft light, and flawless service.

Signature plates include braised sea cucumber in scallion oil, turbot three ways, and the legendary roast chicken that arrives tableside with its own ceremony. It is a slow, luxurious evening built for guests who want the food China's emperors actually ate, and the sommelier pairs both Chinese spirits and international wines.

Best for: Imperial Shandong cuisine in Beijing's most elegant dining room.
