Aria Review

Aria's outdoor dining is secluded within neatly manicured bushes and roses, providing a perfectly quiet lunch spot amid Beijing's frenetic downtown. Sample the fish fillet topped with crispy pork skin. The best deal at this elegant restaurant is the weekday business lunch: for just Y198 you can enjoy a soup or salad, main course, dessert, and coffee or tea. Renaissance-style paintings decorate the walls. There is a posh dining area and bar on the first floor, and more intimate dining at the top of the spiral staircase. Live jazz enlivens the evenings.
