Like many other upscale places in China, Room Beijing is located in a US or European hotel chain, this time round the Park Hyatt. Vibrant colours, playful design and one of the strangest bathrooms I have ever seen. If you manage to find it first…

The bar serves excellent cocktails, especially the mojito. And then the food. Huge platters of seafood, assorted cuts of ham, with main dishes consisting of perfectly cooked codfish, gigantic cuts of prime beef and a 36 hour (really?) braised shank of lamb so tender they should serve it with a spoon.

For desert, do not miss the fruit tree. Yep, a 3 foot high aluminium tree with loads of chunks of exotic fruits.

Wine list is extensive and good, service top notch, and there´s a dj playing funky tunes, luckily at a decent volume.

If you´re with a group, try to snatch up one of the 3 large round tables. It comes with a handy spinning center to pass those great dishes around.

It doesn’t come cheap if you add the cocktails and wine, but for a chique and trendy dining experience, it´s well worth those kuais!
