The Urban Edit
Ahh…the gentle, calming sounds of the gong chime, the giant banana trees, the scent of lemongrass… no, you’re not in Thailand, but dinner at this rather gorgeous little boutique Thai restaurant on Wudaoying hutong is probably the closest you’re going to get, so our advice is to go and give your taste buds (and brain) a little holiday.
Four signs you’re an incurable foodie:
1. You consider a local market in a foreign country to be a tourist attraction.
Back in 2005, when your reviewer first arrived in Beijing, the city had just two upmarket Western restaurants: Aria (in the China World Hotel) and The Courtyard.
The latter was in all the guidebooks. Not only because it was the well-heeled traveller’s ‘treat’ after days of eating Chinese food they weren’t used to, but because it was situated beside that most special of locations: the Forbidden City.
When we’re given the opportunity to create and manage a Beijing event with a twist, Team Bespoke can get rather excited. Ideas start whizzing around the office, mood boards are pieced together, large amounts of peanut brittle are consumed (all part of the creative process, you understand), and something begins to take shape.
They’re here! Bespoke Beijing is proud to announce its rather beautiful set of Beijing Gift Vouchers (if we do say so ourselves). Each one guarantees the recipient an unforgettable Beijing experience. So what are you waiting for? Choose your favourite and then get in touch with us directly at [email protected] to purchase.
