The staff, the atmosphere, the wine, and the food where perfect. My only regret is that we found this restaurant on our last day in Beijing. My wife and I dined with our dearest friends, one a sommelier and the other an executive with Disney and we all agreed this was one of the best dining experiences of our lives.... More

The taxi drivers can find the Temple Retaurant Beijing not immediately, but after a phone call we could find and entered this beautifully decorated restaurant in an ancient Temple complex. We immediately felt the phantastic ambiance and rhe friendly service. Though very crowdy and in certain area's very noisy because of the hard reflections of noise through the use of... More

After having read the rave reviews on Tripadvisor and finding out that TRB had also won the Timeout reward for the best restaurant, we had high expectations of this place… and it lived up to those and more! Fantastic ambience (we went for lunch, and the place felt naturally lit and relaxing, even though it was a miserable rainy day... More

This was the highlight of our trip to Beijing! We were not worried that it would be difficult to find. We treated ourselves to the Saturday brunch! 5 courses and we chose the wine pairing too. This has to be the best Service we have ever experienced in the world. We really enjoyed the sommelier and his expertise as he... More

Just a lovely restaurant with impeccable service. We had our two young children along and they were so attentive. It was a bit cold inside and they got a shawl for my girl. They also brought a little ice cream sampler for them just because. Besides that the food was delicious. We had a really nice evening.

My husband and I visited TRB on 1st June 2013 in Beijing. It is indeed an honor to dine in a building that holds so much history. The exterior decoration is peaceful and zen-like, the exact opposite of the hustle and bustle of the hutong leading up to the restaurant. We were seated immediately upon entering the restaurant, I think... More

Walking through the court yard of TRB, which is located in a 600 year old temple, you know that you are in for something special. Both inside and out, TRB is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have seen. But the ambiance is trumped by the scrumptious food and impeccable service. Each person is our party ordered an entre,... More

I went recently with some girlfriends for lunch to TRB. It is a beautiful setting and we were treated very nicely. When given the menu it was opened to the lunch set menu, I incorrectly thought we were only allowed to order off the set menu, so I ended up going with the set menu. I wish I would have... More
