Leigh Li - Chief Concierge

This private restaurant is located in a charming courtyard near the Forbidden City and is run by the grandson of the renowned Chef Cheng, who used to cook for Chairman Mao in the 1950s to 1960s. The restaurant holds events featuring menus of historical nights, where guests can enjoy a meal identical to one that Mao once shared with President Nixon in 1972. Everything in the restaurant, right down to the staff uniforms, remains historically accurate. Reservations are strongly recommended.
