Whether dining in our signature Chinese restaurant, Chynna, or enjoying light taste impressions in Flames, or delighting in our fresh Macanese cuisine in Vasco’s, nobody will be able to forget the dining experience.”
Vasco’s
Vasco’s is proud to be one of the only Macanese restaurants in Beijing. Macanese cuisine blends Portuguese, Chinese, Indian and Mediterranean cooking techniques. Vasco’s offers all day dining and guests can choose from an a la carte menu offering selections that are light and healthy with a lot of flavor. For breakfast the restaurant also includes a “show kitchen” where diners can follow the preparation of their meal. Vasco’s is also proud to present Beijing’s first ever Water Master whose role is to share his knowledge on the particular characteristics that give various bottled waters their unique flavors, as well as recommended food pairings, stemware suggestions and optimum serving temperatures for enjoying both still and sparkling waters. Additionally, a private dining room is available for those seeking privacy or an intimate celebration.
Chynna
Chynna is designed to be a theatrical space serving an innovative menu that combines regional Chinese classics with modern cooking techniques. This nouveau gourmet Chinese restaurant is adorned with Chinese artifacts and ornate chandeliers. The restaurant serves modern interpretations of Cantonese, Sichuan, Anhui and Hunan cuisine in a dramatic and unique way.
A nutritionist is on hand at Chynna to provide recommendations on healthy and nutritious cuisine to guests. Working closely with the Chef de Cuisine he will develop menus to meet the dietary needs of diners.
Chynna also has a resident Tea Master. Diners will have the opportunity to be introduced to the history and natural wonders of tea by the esteemed Tea Master, who has created a distinguished collection of White Tea, Green Tea, Oolong Tea, Black, Red and Flower teas. Each collection is masterfully crafted and artfully presented paying homage to the tradition of hand blending and scenting. Several private dining rooms allow guests an intimate or formal ambience for special gatherings.

The Library boasts an incredible array of menu selections all day long, set against a chic and sophisticated backdrop of book-lined shelves, with an extensive collection of classical and contemporary book titles for guests to enjoy.
