Beijing’ most famous restaurant - lauded as much for its beautiful location next to the Forbidden City as much as
the international fusion food.  The CourtYard was rated by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the 50 Most Exciting
Restaurants of the World.

Choose from intimate dining for two in the bay windows over the Forbidden City moat or larger tables for modest
sized groups with views across the moat to the Forbidden City.

The fare isn't genuine fusion; dishes are recognizably Occidental or Oriental with only token mixing of styles, but
they're delectable nonetheless.
Fois gras brulee, cashew-crusted lamb chop, and black cod with tomato
marmalade
are longtime favorites. The tender grilled chicken breast in lemon grass and coconut curry is
superb, justifying rave reviews almost by itself. The meticulously crafted wine list, which boasts more than 500
selections from around the world, has consistently won the prestigious Wine Spectator Restaurant Award of
Excellence every year since 2002.






















After dinner, visit the CourtYard Gallery on the first floor, which features the works of local contemporary artists. Art also
adorns every wall of the seventy-five-person dining room, surrounding each guest in an experience that delights all the
senses. Do not miss the
Cigar Divan tucked away upstairs, where you can sip Cognac, smoke a Cuban, and enjoy one of
the most prized views of the Forbidden City.

四合轩西餐厅

“古典和现代”的交融,“中式和西式的结合”,一家“得天独厚”的创意西餐馆,如有运气订到靠窗那张能遥看护城河的餐台,相信满桌美味有千年历史的作
伴会更添光彩。“昔日的四合院”正对着“故宫的护城河”,楼下
是京城小有名气的四合苑画廊的现代艺术展充满“前卫的气息”,令人“震撼”;楼上的
雪茄吧则像是“近代的中式客厅”,使人在“旧城墙的角楼”、角楼上的“新月”和“袅袅的歌剧”包围中,大发“思古幽情”。菜式 “非常漂亮”、“精致”、“正
宗”,又加入了“厨师的创新”。去一次,“回味无穷”

李景汉:美籍华人,父母是清朝大臣的后裔。生长于美国华盛顿。法学博士、大律师。1990年正式回国,迷上老北京四合院,在京沪相继开创了“四
合苑”、“外滩三号”、“前门23号”等时尚消费地标。

1995年他在故宫护城河边上创办了中国第一家餐厅式画廊——四合苑,吸引了各国的食客在皇城根欣赏中国当代艺术的顶尖画作;2008年他又在
天安门东南角,把清末美国驻华公使馆建筑群设计改良成了京城高端的文化时尚会所——前门23号。这个汇聚着世界顶级餐厅、当代艺术中心、奢
侈品旗舰店、名流俱乐部的场所,在李景汉眼里,却被视为能看得见天安门风景、带着历史回忆的空间
