Beijing: Where to Eat: Big Night Out: Cepe

Cepe

With one or two notable exceptions, real fine dining is found only in the top hotels, at five-star prices that reflect the hefty China duties on imported food and wine. One of the latest is Cepe, in the Ritz-Carlton Beijing Financial Street, which assumes diners want the very best, whatever the cost. Fittingly, the menu has a heavy representation of mushroom dishes—cepes—and other delicacies such as truffles and goose liver.
