JIN YAA TANG

FINE DINING RESTAURANT

BEIJING, CHINA

One Michelin Star – Michelin Guide Beijing 2022

An open and social dining area in the centre of the space represents the ‘stage’ in the theatrical nature of the restaurant design. Tables are placed on an elevated U-platform, putting the diners on a stage where they become a part of the experiential dining performance. Raised seating around the edges of the room enhances the amphitheatre-like aesthetic and places the kitchen in focus. The kitchen’s glass façade stages the chefs as part of the evening’s performance as they sling ducks in and out of the crackling open-fire oven.

In collaboration with famous London-based restaurateur Alan Yau for his first-ever restaurant in China, we created a restaurant that brings a contemporary, theatrical design to the dining experience of traditional Chinese Peking duck.The Jing Yaa Tang restaurant resides within the renowned boutique hotel The Opposite House in Beijing’s trendy Sanlitun district. The name’ Jing Yaa Tang’, which translates to ‘classic, elegant room’, was suitably chosen in line with the design intention; to create an atmosphere that is sophisticated, intricate and chic, with a hint of regality.
