King’s Joy is definitive proof that vegetarian cuisine and haute cuisine are not mutually exclusive! This restaurant led by the creative, innovative talent of young chef Gary Yin, aided by his two sisters, Mia and Lillian, is in an historic quarter that is home to some of the country’s most important monuments, including the Forbidden City and the Lama Temple. In a group of traditional buildings around a central patio, this serene, refined, and elegant ambiance is home to what is now one of China’s temples of fine dining, a status achieved in the space of a few years. Meals are served in a dining room bathed in natural light from the large glass roof or in charming spaces separated by openwork panels in wood and looking out onto a bamboo forest. An ideal setting in which to appreciate the chef’s inventiveness and dedication to working primarily with organically grown, in-season ingredients. Exploring the ethereal cuisine of King’s Joy is an incomparable experience.
