Follow me to @giadagarden_beijing - a contemporary Italian restaurant in Beijing by Italian luxury fashion label Giada. A white spiral staircase connects the restaurant with the boutique at China World Hotel. The chef at the helm is @changliuchef who first rose to fame as S.Pellegrino Young Chef’s winner for China in 2016. He was also one of the first Chinese chefs to work at Noma and was the sous chef at Tokuyoshi for 3 years before opening his own restaurant Serica in Milan. At Giada Garden, Chef Cielo is bringing together his Italian training with his Chinese heritage. Showcasing local ingredients, the menu is a reflection of the chef’s own culinary journey. Highlights of the night included the ravioli “xiao long bao”, tagliolini with preserved bergamot 老香黃 & Chinese yellow wine, koji spaghetti, yellow croaker with sour shellfish jus, and an amazingly tender aged local pigeon. Don’t miss the creative non-alcoholic pairing designed by the chef himself including one that’s served in the cutest pufferfish glass ever! 🐡
