Bai Jia Da Zao
Haidian, Beijing
Dine inside a Qing prince's mansion where staff bow in court costume and address you as 'Your Highness'.
Bai Jia Da Zao is a restaurant inside a restored Qing dynasty prince's mansion, and dinner is pure theatre: attendants in silk court dress bow you through the courtyards, call you 'Your Highness', and serve Manchu-Han imperial cuisine on antique porcelain.
The food is good, the spectacle unforgettable. It is kitschy and glorious in equal measure - the most entertaining dinner in Beijing.
Best for: The most theatrical dinner in Beijing, set in a Qing prince's mansion.
