About

King's Joy is a three-Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant located in a stunningly designed courtyard right across from the Lama Temple. The philosophy here is 'low carbon, high health,' using premium seasonal ingredients sourced from across China. The interior features a mist-filled courtyard and live harp music, creating a transcendent, ethereal atmosphere. Expert recommendation: The tasting menu is a journey through different textures and subtle flavors. The honey-glazed 'lotus root' is exceptional. Pro tip: This is one of the most expensive dining experiences in Beijing. Dress formally and book well in advance. Even if you are not a vegetarian, the sheer artistry of the food and the serene environment make it a top-tier cultural experience.
