The Ritz-Carlton, Beijing opened in December 2007 and is located in the Central Place business district. The Ritz-Carlton, Beijing's Xiang Yi Restaurant is also a Beijing buffet restaurant that buffet lovers will be happy to mention. The buffet at Xiang Yi Restaurant includes Chinese, Japanese, Western and Indian specialties. The quality of the ingredients is excellent, and the production techniques are also quite careful, but the taste is decent and rarely distinctive. At different times, there is a sense of freshness when you dine at Xiangyi Restaurant, where guest chefs from all over the world are often invited to come and exchange their cooking skills, and the restaurant also takes the opportunity to hold events such as Japanese food festivals and Thai food festivals. Xiangyi Restaurant continues to innovate in terms of restaurant features, such as adding Japanese hot food stalls, serving fried chicken, tempura, pork miso soup and so on. However, it is inevitable that the food prepared in the buffet will greatly affect the taste once it has been left for a long time, especially tempura, which needs to be eaten immediately, so it is recommended to ask the chef to fry it. The dessert at The Ritz-Carlton, Beijing is the highlight, and the cake is always a hit in collaboration with high-end chocolate brands Valrhona and GODIVA. The display case of The Ritz-Carlton Pastry Restaurant in Beijing is located at the door of Xiangyi Restaurant, and of course, you can also enjoy chocolate cake and other desserts from the hotel's pastry room when dining at Xiangyi Restaurant. The environment of Xiangyi restaurant is very good, the windows are bright and clean, and there is music to accompany the meal, the disadvantage is that the food area is relatively scattered, not very convenient to eat. The service in the restaurant is basically responsive, smiling and courteous. But most of the service is superficial, and the waiter will ask for opinions verbally, but there is very little actual feedback. The popularity of buffets in Beijing is gradually weakening, and the development momentum of high-end catering is strong. Although there are dozens of five-star hotels in Beijing, most of them have either canceled the operation of self-service catering and turned to high-end catering, or the dishes are not very different, lackluster and homogeneous. Therefore, this list only recommends the self-service catering in the above hotels. In addition, the stability of independent self-service catering brands is poor and the products are uneven, which has a great impact on the overall dining experience, so I will not recommend it too much here.
