Located near Yonghe Lamasery and Ditan Park in northeast Beijing, Tangenyuan is a great restaurant to enjoy a hearty meal after a day of exploring the nearby sights. Decorated in the classical Chinese style, the aesthetic focal point of the restaurant is the fine garden in the courtyard. Enter the courtyard and walk along a maze of walkways lined with red lanterns which snake through the gardens' fountains and rockeries.

The interior of the restaurant is equally well decorated with antique paintings on the walls. The private dining rooms are furnished with kang-traditional Chinese furniture, made of clay, used for sitting and sleeping which could be heated by fire. These kang are not common in modern Beijing and add a historical feel to the restaurant. Servers are dressed in traditional clothes and the service is impeccable.

The food ranges from simple Beijing style snacks to home style cooking to full imperial banquets. Visitors will be able to choose something to suit their palate and price range. There are also traditional performances in the main hall.
