Rose of Sharon Bistro

Qinghai


This large and modern upstairs restaurant-cafe has a tasty menu, efficient staff, comfy rows of sofas and decent views of the hills (though it's a bit heavy on the classical music). On the iPad menu are dishes such as highland rib of lamb (¥99), spicy dry pot chicken (¥76), gongbao chicken (¥52), nine-flavour eggplant stew (¥36) and mapo dòufu (¥38).
