The Family Li restaurant is heir to the prestigious imperial cuisine. Under the direction of Grand Chef Ivan Li, the family is proud to use only natural ingredients and flavours, and have upheld the cooking traditions of the Empress Cixi, of the late Qing dynasty. There are no modern cooking appliances in the kitchen and the recipes and techniques remain faithful to ancient practices. To secure a table in one of the nine private dining rooms, eight of which are designed in Chinese style, one in Western style, you have to book at least 24 hours in advance, as the preparation of each dish takes a great deal of time. There are two set menus to choose from for lunch and four for dinner.
