Nancy Kim Recommends Pure Lotus in Beijing

When asked to recommend a vegetarian dining experience in Beijing, Nancy Kim, founder of China travel specialist Imperial Tours and a vegetarian herself, selected Pure Lotus (6 Jiangtai Lu [Fangyuan Xi Lu]; 011-86-10-6437-6688).
Vegan restaurants don’t often focus on flash and panache, but Pure Lotus defies expectations. With showmanship to spare—think dry ice tendrils shrouding a perfect still life of mandarin oranges—the dramatically designed restaurant turns vegetables and tofu into entirely new culinary creations.
The article highlights Pure Lotus for its imaginative presentation and ability to transform familiar ingredients into memorable dining experiences. The restaurant’s artistic approach and attention to detail make it one of Beijing’s most distinctive vegetarian destinations.
You won’t find alcoholic drinks here, but the food pairs perfectly with the restaurant’s extensive selection of freshly made juices and specialty teas, creating a dining experience that is both creative and uniquely Beijing.
