Foodie bible Michelin has unveiled its first-ever guide to Beijing. The long-awaited restaurant guide awarded stars to a total of 23 restaurants in China's capital.
The only one to score the highest honor, three stars, was the Beijing outpost of Xin Rong Ji, a seafood-centric chain whose first location opened in Zhejiang in 1995., Michelin wrote of Xin Rong Ji:"From strictly selected ingredients to impeccable skills and exemplary service, every detail has been delivered to its best. It has been a complete and extremely enjoyable dining experience made possible by comprehensive orchestration and thoughtful arrangement.
Arguably, Temple Restaurant Beijing, better known by its initials TRB, suffered the biggest snub. The restaurant has received plenty of acclaim over the years -- most recently winning the gong ofby users of the US-based customer rating website TripAdvisor earlier this year. "Whether a restaurant is good or not should be up to the individual's feelings. So why do we need such Western formalism to speak out for our Chinese restaurants?" asked one commenter, whose Weibo username is WuSir-ZhaFi."In general, I would say the guide met a lot of people's predictions," Robynne Tindall, a Beijing-based journalist and the former dining editor at local website The Beijinger, told CNN Travel.
