Just beyond the borders of Shunyi lies the peaceful oasis that is The Orchard. Diners can enjoy a range of European cuisines amidst the restaurant’s charming atmosphere, which includes a lake, a gazebo and a few walking paths. Much of the fresh organic produce used to prepare the meals is grown onsite. Weekday set lunch menu options range from RMB 90-120. Patrons may also order from the a la carte menu (daily chef’s specials highlighted) with some meals available in half portion child sizes. There is an extensive children’s menu including favorites such as a beef burger, pasta, pizza, chicken fingers and more unique dishes, such as a salmon burger and sweet potato pancakes with homemade apple sauce. All kids’ selections range from RMB 40 to 45, but be sure to visit on a Thursday, when children up to age 10 may choose from the kids menu for free. The famed Sunday buffet from noon to 3pm is a great indulgence (RMB 210 adults, RMB 100 children ages 4-10, free for kids under 4). From homemade breads and desserts to scrumptious main dishes, salads and sides, you will not go home hungry and you’ll be sure to return soon.
