Breathtaking over-the-top restaurant fusing tea, food and sculpture

Word to the wise: The food, like the decor, is a feast for the eyes, but not always for the stomach. Contemporary and innovative dishes, quirkily decorated, but small portions.

Award-winning Green T House attracts Beijing's trendiest crowd, maybe not foremost for the food, but rather for the impressive interior and wonderful atmosphere. Visitors dine in puffy couches, surreal tall Qing Dynasty chairs or along weirdly long tables.

The food is said to be "tea-inspired" and the portions are quite slight, including several re-made versions of traditional Chinese specialties, for example their famous "tea-dumplings". Coming here means tasting Chinese health food with a modern twist, while absorbing a unique visual experience. If you want to eat at this dreamlike paradise, booking a table is a must.
