The Company
M Restaurant Group is an award-winning collection of restaurants and
lounges that have pioneered the slow food movement in China’s fine
dining scene. The Group was founded in 1989 by trail-blazing Australian
entrepreneur Michelle Garnaut – the signature ‘M’ – with the opening of M
at the Fringe in Hong Kong (1989-2009). The M collection currently
comprises M on the Bund restaurant in Shanghai, Glam lounge, dining &
bar in Shanghai and Capital M restaurant and bar in Beijing.
(86 10) 6702 3737
Each M venue has become a city institution, situated in a prestigious
location that captures the heart of its destination: from Shanghai’s historic
waterfront Bund to Beijing’s historical Qianmen district overlooking
Tiananmen Square. They also share all the quintessential ‘M’
characteristics: delicious modern European cooking made with
responsibly sourced ingredients; stylish and comfortable décor; warm,
polished service; fine wine and drinks; and a fun and flourishing
personality.
Our Location
Opened in 2009, Capital M is located on central Beijing’s 600-year-old
Qianmen Street and delivers one of Beijing's most spectacular dining
experiences.
Description
The restaurant serves the creative modern European cuisine that is a
hallmark of M Restaurants, within stunning contemporary interiors.
Its expansive stone terrace is perfectly positioned for breathtaking views
of the heart of the city. Whether on the terrace or in the elegant dining
room, guests can enjoy seasonal dishes cooked with meticulously
sourced produce, warm service and a sweeping view of the capital that
unfolds from the Forbidden City across Tiananmen Square to Qianmen
Gate.
Our Motto
Good food starts with responsible sourcing, excellent produce, careful
handling and preparation, and a consciousness of our health as well as
the environment. At M we proudly produce all the food from start to finish.
Signature Dishes
M’s famous signature dishes include the Slowly Baked, Salt-Encased Leg
of Lamb, Crispy Suckling Pig, Hot House-Smoked Salmon and M’s Very
Famous Pavlova. In response to increasingly sophisticated palates,
Capital M has introduced new flavours from the cuisines of the Middle
East and North Africa while remaining true to its culinary roots.
