Made in China

Although it’s only six years old, Made in China in the Grand Hyatt hotel is already a Beijing classic, and has become a spectacular showcase for robust Northern Chinese cuisine, served with a world-spanning wine list. Quite dramatically, the dining room is in the open kitchen—instead of the other way around. Master chefs roast meat, knead dough and wok-fry fresh ingredients while guests sample dishes that represent the North’s emphasis on meaty, often vinegary preparations, served with bread and noodles instead of rice.
