"Crimson" is the name of the movie, the name of the song, and the color of the precipitation of the courtyard of the deep house. Whether it's a coincidence or an intentional one, this quiet name alone has left countless diners with a reminiscent experience. It is located in the hutongs of Beijing's Second Ring Road, and the constant temperature and fresh air system make the whole yard warm all year round, the plants are vigorous, and the sky is blocked by glass, even if Beijing is smog, the air here is as fresh as a rainforest. Crimson has put all its thought into the dishes and decorations, and is full of literary and artistic atmosphere, although some diners lamented that it has taken the route of the Internet celebrity store to the extreme, but I have to admit that it is very commercially pleasing. Ma Dong and Li Chen have visited here.
The crimson menu changes according to the season, and is divided into spring feast, summer feast, autumn feast, and winter meal. Although there are no top-quality ingredients favored by high-end banquet menus, the taste is not fantastic, but a small recipe carefully matches the ingredients, Chinese and Western food, allowing you to taste the flavors of the world with ingenuity. The 768 yuan winter menu at the beginning of 2018 is enough to see that it has not lost its strength. Before the meal, it is a Chinese-style four flavors, and it is common to marinate and marinate it. A Malaysian sweet soup brings the taste buds to Southeast Asia.
The appetizer is very promising, and this Parma ham foie gras roll with seasonal vegetables is the signature dish of the 768 yuan package. It uses the world's most famous Italian Parma raw ham, the color is like rose pink, the fat is evenly distributed, and the taste is the softest among all kinds of hams. Foie gras is seasoned with sake and tastes great when eaten cold. The tomatoes are opened, and the material is enough to surprise people. The plate is lined up, with red tomatoes dotted on the left side, and the bottom is conditioned like a thick brush, creating a sense of light and shadow in oil painting, which is quite appreciative.
The main course is a blend of world flavors, from low-temperature slow-cooked 4A beef cooked in Chinese style, to Chinese court stew, to Spanish seafood risotto full of Mediterranean style. The meal is less oil and less salt, which is healthier.
Not only is the flavor combination ingenious, but the details in the dish are also quite thoughtful. For example, prawn seafood risotto uses beetroot juice instead of jet-black cuttlefish juice that is common in general restaurants; The signature Chinese beef ribs of the 568 yuan package are fresh and tender with a hint of sweetness, and the flavor is enhanced with black pepper, and the mood fluctuates with the rich layers, which is very exciting.
The staple dessert is almost enjoyable, and the drink for the finale after the meal is not sloppy. Both sets are Bulgarian rose tea. Bulgarian Damascus rose enjoys a good reputation in the world, it is different from the slight bitterness of domestic roses, its pure sweetness is known as the international fragrance, the head fragrance is fresh and sweet, the bottom fragrance has a long aftertaste, taste carefully after meals, clear mouth and refreshing, is the highest enjoyment.
Charged per person, the regular menu is 568 yuan and 768 yuan, and the private customized meal is based on the previous package, plus a private scallion roasted sea cucumber, the price is 768 and 968 yuan per person. There are two private rooms that can seat 6 to 8 people. The whole space can accommodate about 60 people, and it is also good to host meetings and banquets.
It took nearly a year to manually install the courtyard with a constant temperature system and a fresh air system, planted with flowers and plants in all seasons, and the spacious sky garden on the second floor has a beautiful view, which is particularly precious in the old area of Dongcheng, where every inch of land is valuable. The historic bomb shelter underground, which has also been converted into a thermostatic wine cellar. The proprietress is a craftsman in traditional crafts and antique furniture restoration, and the doors and windows in the courtyard are all old things that she has recovered from her travels, and after polishing, polishing and polishing, she can reproduce the exquisite carvings of the year; Most of the decorations such as screens, tables and chairs, and lamps are also found in various places, so the chairs may be different for a table for several people to dine. Each item, including cutlery, tablecloth and paper towels, is not deliberately matched in a set, but the strong and unrestrained colors and patterns are natural, and the beauty is like a full-bodied oil painting. There's also a talking parrot and cute cat to spice things up to your mealtime.
Its atmosphere is perfect for gathering with intimate people and enjoying a wonderful time, while formal banquets may not be very suitable.
