绿茶餐厅
This is one of my favourite restaurants in Beijing. It serves traditional dishes from Hangzhou with a contemporary twist. The decor features ornate window panes, blue-and-white porcelain tables and dark wood furniture.
原味奶茶 (Original Milk Tea) - This has a similar taste as Hongkong's milk tea, more tea and more bitter than the regular ones you get in GongCha/Coco.
Fire Prawns - It's essentially barbecued prawns, and it taste delicious! It's worth trying, just for the presentation.
Clams - I rarely recommend any seafood in Beijing, because one it's usually not fresh, two, the fresh ones are always overpriced. This dish is well worth the try! The beans give it a really special flavour. Although sometimes it gets a little salty, so keep in mind to tell them to put less salt.
Grilled Chicken - No captions needed, the look itself is mouth-watering enough, isn't it?
Boxed Bread with Ice Cream - Apart from this, I've never had any other dessert before, which explains how good this is.
You can easily get 5 dishes for under a 100 rmb, which is good enough for 3-4 people. The portions is filling but not too much. Unlike many other chinese restaurants, the preparation time is short but the quality of food is superb. I highly recommend this place for both imitate dinner dates and group gatherings with friends. It's one of the best low cost restaurants with good food!
The store listed below is my personal favourite, but of course there's branches spread all over the city so choose the one that's the most convenient.
