Homestyle Chinese
City Weekend says: Come here for the novelty of eating in a cinema-themed restaurant. The food isn't award-winning, but there are a few standouts such as Xing Yuan (??), an appetizer of fava bean paste drizzled with strawberry jam (suspicious-sounding but surprisingly tasty and perfect for dessert, actually) and A Fish Named Wanda, crispy-perch cooked in aluminum foil. |

Vegetarian
City Weekend says: With a growing menu that runs the gamut from mock-meat entrées to raw desserts, this unpretentious, affordable joint has something for everyone, whether you?re a bona fide seitan worshipper or just tired of finding pork where you least expect it. Good for a solid vegetarian menu without the flashy theatrics of Pure Lotus.

The crust is beautifully flakey and can be customized to one's preference. Especially popular are the apple and banana creme pies.

Cafés
City Weekend says: This easy-to-overlook café lives up to its name with a divine range of tempting cheese cakes. Favorites include blueberry and coffee, but the great range of flavors calls for a sampling of all. But if you ask us, the ice cream and the Illy coffee are overpriced. A minimalist patio and great location bordering Worker's Stadium make Tasty Taste a great impromptu summertime patio haunt. Perfect for a late night dessert fix.

Sandwiches & Delis
City Weekend says: Sandwiches in America always seem to have too much meat. Subway in China does not have that problem. With choices varying from meatball and chicken teriyaki subs to veggie wraps and garden salad Subway may not be the best sandwich ever, but it's consistent, reliable and numerous. |

Delivery
City Weekend says: This delivery service brings nutritionally balanced lunchbox sets to those within 2 km of Jianwai SOHO. The food is edible and should satisfy plenty of CBD office workers, but the presentation and taste are both reminiscent of airplane food. LowCal Bento isn't recommend for picky eaters.

Cantonese & Dim Sum
Contributor Description: Astonishing value for this fine cantonese restaurant where we went by chance this sunday for lunch, as next door yan can cook was closed. Very attentive service, dumplings amongst the best we've had outside of hong kong, a crispy and flavorful roasted pigeon and even a subtile chao zhou style pork tongue. Went looking on the net and saw that the hk branch has two michelin stars. No wonder... Menu start at 138 rmb, and we also took some of tge week end dim sums. A la carte has too many endangered animals for my taste... |

Cafés
Contributor Description: There is a lot going on in CBD, especially around Central Park. Between now and Feb. 29, Cafe Bernice offers 20 percent off everything on the menu. That's also the problem. Cafe Bernice has fairly nice selection of menu items ? I am a fan of the eggs benedict ? which for the moment are moderately priced. But as soon as that discount disappears, one has to ask themselves why go to Bernice? |

Cafés
City Weekend says: Beijing's Hello Kitty-themed restaurant is as pink and adorable as you'd expect, with images of everyone's favorite Sanrio character on everything from the soap dispenser to the napkins. Food, unfortunately, is quite horrible, and very overpriced. A very expensive, very cute photo op.

The menu centers around Korean barbecue, with some elements of other Asian and Western cuisines. Don't miss the bibimbap with mozzarella. Drinks are also very good.

Mediterranean
City Weekend says: The restaurant's stylishly lit and furnished interior sets the stage for an eclectic selection of contemporary cuisine that doesn't sacrifice taste in the pursuit of innovation. A non-smoking section makes this an ideal spot for diners who don't want a side of nicotine with their meal. Don't leave without trying the Gaby Alves' signature cocktails, the spicy bloody Mary and SALTgarita. |
