Discover the unique culinary collaboration between Four Seasons Beijing and Royal Copenhagen, offering an artistic dining experience.

Cai Yi Xuan, a Chinese restaurant distinguished by one Michelin star and a Black Pearl One Diamond rating, has partnered with the esteemed Danish porcelain brand Royal Copenhagen to introduce a special Royal Copenhagen-themed menu. This menu is served in a secluded private dining room within the Four Seasons Hotel Beijing, highlighting the renowned Blue Fluted Plain series. This collaboration is a testament to the fusion of classic Cantonese cuisine and exquisite bone china, offering a dining experience that is both unique and unforgettable.

Located in a peaceful enclave of the restaurant, the private dining room of Cai Yi Xuan provides an exclusive and luxurious setting. The menu, inspired by the iconic Blue Fluted pattern, which is meticulously hand-painted by Royal Copenhagen, incorporates fresh, local ingredients. Each dish is beautifully presented on the Blue Fluted Plain series, bringing a distinctive oriental elegance to the table. The delicate hand-painted designs on the plates, bowls, and spoons display the fine Danish craftsmanship, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the meal.

As natural light illuminates the dining area, the elegant Royal Copenhagen porcelain complements the sophisticated dishes crafted by Cai Yi Xuan, resulting in a luxurious blend of flavors. Despite its Danish origins, Royal Copenhagen’s cobalt blue designs and elaborate patterns resonate well with Chinese culinary traditions. This intimate dining setting fosters a lively and enjoyable atmosphere among diners and the culinary team.

Under the guidance of Executive Chef Li Qiang, the restaurant offers a sublime culinary journey that highlights the art of porcelain and refined cooking. The menu features exceptional dishes like Caviar Sea Urchin Crab Tart, Honey-Glazed Char Siu, and Steamed Sunflower Chicken. Each dish emphasizes the freshness and vibrancy of Beijing’s summer ingredients. The Jasmine Clear Soup with Australian Abalone is particularly notable, with its elegant porcelain designs intertwining with jasmine blossoms for a calming effect. Other standout dishes include Shrimp Roe Baked Lobster, Tomato Sour Soup with Yellow Croaker, and Pan-Seared Wagyu with Matsutake Mushrooms. The main dish of pot rice with dried porcini and roasted goose reflects a comforting nod to traditional Chinese cuisine, presented beautifully on timeless porcelain. This sophisticated collaboration between Cai Yi Xuan and Royal Copenhagen offers a memorable fusion of Chinese flavors and Danish artistic finesse.
