Last morning in Beijing with a couple of hours spare Vicky meets me at 9.30 in the Hotel lobby. We jump into a taxi & once again I am safely in her hands.
Very pleasantly surprised when we jump out of the car & I spy the sign in the attached photo. Please enlarge to see it clearly - the Bookworm @ le Petit Gourmand. This sounds interesting my brain says. Down we walk about 20m to the entrance & inpast the alfresco tables & chairs with the occasional umbrella. Inside, the bibliophile in me is in ecstasy for around every interior wall are bookshelves crammed to overflowing with books.
Yes indeed good readers the marvellous V didn not disappoint on my last morning in Beijing. She knew just where to bring me to finish my Beijing trip perfectly.
Favorite Dish: Unfortunately I'd already had breafast only a bit over an hour earlier (part of my package so no cost) so I didn't eat anything. And I must honestly admit that I was just a tad disappointed that they didn't have my favourite mocha coffee on the menu. But a nice coffee was had all the same.
This is a great little spot in Sanlitun. If I lived in Beijing I reckon I'd spend a fair bit of time here. The menu sounded really good & pretty reasonably priced too is seemed. Next time in Beijing it defintely has to be a full scale lunch here!!!!!
