Tucked in the heart of Sanlitun, Char Restaurant is truly a hidden gem for family-friendly Western dining—floor-to-ceiling street-facing windows and a terrace offer views of Sanlitun's vibrant streetscape. Warm lighting creates a sophisticated yet welcoming ambiance. The moment you step in, smiling staff greet you, promptly setting up high chairs and providing kid-friendly utensils—thoughtful details that instantly win you over. Their summer menu features a Wagyu theme, delivering both health and flavor😋
🥣 The Hungarian beef soup starter arrives in a ceramic pot, its surface glistening with a thin layer of oil. The tangy aroma blends with the richness of tender beef chunks, perfectly paired with freshly baked baguette for dipping—a delicious appetizer.
🥩 As a Western restaurant specializing in premium Wagyu, their ingredients are impeccable. The signature 28-day dry-aged Wagyu ribeye steak boasts exquisite marbling—just one look confirms its quality. Cooked to medium-rare, juices slowly seep out when sliced. The first bite delivers a smoky char, followed by the Wagyu's signature buttery melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. A sprinkle of sea salt and pepper elevates it to pure perfection.
🍚 The sizzling Australian Wagyu bone marrow stone pot rice arrives crackling hot, with staff mixing the marrow into the rice tableside before drizzling it with special sauce. The marrow's richness melds with the crispy rice, coating every grain in deep, savory flavor—we devoured every bite.
🍔 The kids' Wagyu burger uses M5 Wagyu patties, so tender they juice at the slightest press. The bun is cloud-soft, and even the lettuce is finely shredded—a visually appealing and kid-approved meal.
🍮 Dessert was honey-citrus Basque cheesecake, where the sweetness of honey and citrus's freshness balanced the cheese's richness. Its velvety texture, light yet indulgent, pleased both adults and kids.
☕️ The Flower Garden at InterContinental Beijing Sanlitun, in collaboration with X Ruiyan, offers an afternoon tea that truly understands moms! Red desserts meet the venue's elegance—no need to chase after kids, just relax with coffee and sweets while taking home Ruiyan skincare gifts. This rare moment of tranquility is genuinely heartwarming❤️
From location to quality, ingredients to service, innovation to taste—InterContinental Beijing Sanlitun excels at every level, perfectly matching Sanlitun's refined vibe. We'll definitely be back often~
