Country Kitchen Beijing – Michelin-Recommended Northern Chinese Dining with Chef Zhang Shaogang

Country Kitchen: Where Northern Chinese Flavours Meet Modern Elegance

Inside Rosewood Beijing, Country Kitchen is a refined yet relaxed restaurant that honours the traditions of Beijing and Shandong cuisine. The space—rustic-chic with an open-air kitchen and a wood oven—sets the stage for a dining experience that feels both soulful and sophisticated. A relaxed terrace adds to the welcoming atmosphere.

Led by a Beijing Native

Chef de Cuisine Zhang Shaogang brings over three decades of expertise to the kitchen. A Beijing native, he began his culinary career in 1989 and trained under Mr. Li Qigui, one of China’s Top 10 Master Chefs. Before joining Country Kitchen, Chef Zhang spent a decade as head chef at the acclaimed Tai Feng Lou restaurant. His deep knowledge of Beijing-Shandong cuisine—often served at national banquets—makes him a natural heir to the tradition.

Seasonal, Farm-to-Table Philosophy

The menu changes with the seasons, highlighting top-quality ingredients sourced with a “Farm to Table” philosophy. Signature dishes include hand-pulled noodles, Beijing duck, and dumplings, all crafted in the open kitchen. The wood oven lends a distinct character to the cooking, while the team’s approach blends authenticity with a creative touch.

Michelin Recognition

Country Kitchen earned a spot in the Michelin Guide Beijing as a MICHELIN-selected restaurant for 2026, a testament to its consistent quality and dedication to Northern Chinese flavours. Whether you come for a leisurely lunch or a dinner, the experience is grounded in the region’s culinary heritage, presented with contemporary elegance.
