Yes, I find that those places taste good.

That kind of chalky taste that only comes from finest Beijing concrete.

Jesus, I didn't even notice they charge PER TOPPING.
I don't understand how anyone can possibly justify that price, unless it's served by strippers and each ingredient is imported from a different country.

I wonder if they charge extra for the bun...

I'm scared to ask how much their french fries are.

You've depressed me, admin. I've been to exactly one of those places. And it's Comptoirs de France, which doesn't really count as a restaurant.

Guess I need to get out more.

It was excellent. The food quality is the best I've had in Beijing.

Saturday is halloween, and you're going to a Hindu restaurant?

Out of the ones mentioned above:

Excellent:
Rumi
Metro

Reasonable but nothing special:
Panina Teca
Crepanini
Comptoirs de France

Not worth it:
Kro's Nest. Really disappointing (I completely agree with serrot's review on the directory listing).

I haven't been to the others yet but am working on it! Heading to Moro tonight...

You are so ignorant. Rumi is a Moslem restaurant,
not Hindu. At least get your crass comments right.

And you can take your own alcohol to Rumi.

Hey admin, I've tried several times to give my Rumi review, but every time I try to go to the listing I get a Fatal Error message.

That my problem or yours?
