Lake (Qian Hai) views from Nuage's upstairs windows are matched only by its hallucinatory Hanoi-
inspired interior. A long silver dragon snakes up the rear staircase to the main dining room, where the
low light from red lanterns flickers on reed curtains and finely crafted wooden tables. The first floor has
improbably stylish bathrooms, divided by an elaborate cut-glass pool, and the new rooftop section has
breathtaking views of the Back Lakes. Food is not quite as impressive -- portions are small and prices
inflated -- but there are some worthwhile gems. The grilled
la lop leaf beef (ye niurou juan) is exquisite;
and the
phô (Vietnamese beef noodles in soup) has a smooth, flavorful broth, but at a price 10 times
higher than in Vietnam. This is the closest thing Beijing has to a "hot" restaurant in the New York City
sense, complete with a long-legged hostess who seems to take pleasure in turning people away. (Make
reservations well in advance.) A dance club extends two floors underground.

庆云楼

庆云楼的中文名,来自老北京老饭馆老字号,而法文名字Nuage,就是“云”的意思。但按我的建议,发音时最好带一点越
南口音。因为这是一个越南餐吧。

庆云楼的老板就是后海名店“无名酒吧”的老板老白,它的位置也在银锭桥东北角。说是越南菜,而且请了南北越南的厨
子,但很多人还是为了喝酒聊天而来,这使它更像一间酒吧。尤其是二楼凭窗,手持青岛,看免费的月亮。此地和老白的
酒吧一样,并非谁都可以进去。赶饭点去,已经满了,二楼的窗口小座,你没有预订,一楼的车轮桌子,你没有熟人;过
了饭点再去,圈里人太多,人家不住地惊叫、拥抱、互相介绍,眼角里的你是个毛手毛脚的怪物。连西班牙大使馆请中国
诗人朗诵,都要选庆云楼。刚唱过卡拉OK的你,谁知道一脚踏进去,撞见的又是哪队巨人?
