Craving freshness? For Beijingers, there's always something New in the Neighborhood.
As always, changes have been coming fast to Sanlitun over the past couple of weeks. On the club and bar scene, Aurora announced that it will be hosting a 3-day reopening party to celebrate its return at 3 Worker’s Stadium West Read, and DDC also announced that they are opening a new venue just south of Sanlitun.
In dining, you might have seen our blogs on Larry the Bird, which landed in soft opening, drawing in crowds to enjoy its rotisserie chicken and beer, and Bobomia, who brought fine Spanish cuisine to Courtyard 4.
The latest craze at Nali Patio is neither croissant nor waffle – but pastry that uses croissant dough but is cooked on a waffle iron to create a bold, if baffling creation called the croffle.
Strawberries and white chocolate? Of course. Parma ham? Check. Peanut butter and maple sugar? Why not. The world is your croffle!
It seems that the space above Q Mex in Courtyard 4 just can’t decide what it wants to be – last year it was converted into a short-lived, supposedly Vegas-themed but otherwise non-descript bar before switching to a Japanese-style bar. Now, yet again, it’s reborn as Galant, another Western-style pub and restaurant.
Tapas and ‘tails at Y Not
But don’t drink on an empty stomach! There are tapas galore on the menu, including fusion takes like the egg on grilled eggplant, fried crispy fish rolls, and goose liver on baguette slices. Most fall within the range of RMB 52-80.
