New Openings: Domus

Located in a stunning restored courtyard east of Tiananmen, Domus, (taking its name from the Italian furniture company, which is behind the venue) combines the art of food with the art of architecture. The bar and lounge upstairs is decked in contemporary designer furniture, while the downstairs features an open kitchen, dining tables and two chef’s tables. Chef Jamie DeRosa, who has worked in famous kitchens such as The Patina, The Fat Duck and The French Laundry, puts together a smoking six-course tasting menu (RMB 688) that includes braised rabbit, Indonesian grouper, Australian grass-fed lamb and caviar – each displaying adventurous imagination. Unfortunately, the a la carte menu was not available at the time of the review, but a separate bar menu is packed with extravagant appetizers, desserts and shellfish – try the creative tuna tartare with jalapeno jelly served in a sweet sesame cone (RMB 128). While you bask in the posh environment, sipping on a martini, you might as well be in Paris, London or New York.
