Just tried their RMB 58 set lunch (I had the cream of mushroom soup, chicken cesar salad and ox tongue sandwich) and enjoyed it. The mushroom soup came in a generous serving and the sandwich came generously filled with quality cuts of ox tongue and a side order of chips and salsa (also not bad for Beijing standards). The salad was fresh, but could have used better quality lettuce, and the freshly brewed coffee was a nice top off.

Despite its Sanlitun surroundings, Hercules is a quiet and cozy spot for a weekday lunch.
