Kao Rou Ji

Started as a grilled mutton stand next to Qian Hai Lake 161 years ago, Kao Rou Ji is now a 2-story pavilion - and one of the

best places to get grilled mutton in Beijing! Check their trademark Grilled Mutton with its eight different flavors that will not disappoint you.If you are lucky enough to get a table next to a window on the 2nd floor, then you

will be able to enjoy your meal while looking across the water and perhaps even spot a lotus. During the summertime, have

them arrange to rent a boat so you can dine out on Houhai.
