Word of mouth and an eccentric and delicious menu has made Three Guizhou Men, into three very successful restaurant owners. Originally from Guizhou, a disadvantaged province in South Central China, three painters traveled to Beijing hoping to make their fortune the world of art. Seeing a niche for their unexpected style of Sichuan cooking, they decided to pass the time by opening a restaurant.
Three Guizhou Men opened in February, 2002. Soon after, it became one of the most sought after locations for eating in Beijing. Open 24 hours a day, dinners can satisfy their taste for a combination of very spicy, sour and sweet food at any time of the day or night. The simple but contemporary atmosphere ranks very appealing to the restaurant’s fashionable regulars.
The menu is peppered with names that are a nod to the eclectic style of cooking. Some of the restaurants more popular orders include:
These descriptive titles allow the customers to almost taste their meal before they see it. One highly rated entrée called Beef on Fire consists of cuts of beef over chives presented on a metal grid over fiery coals. The menu also features many traditional Sichuan dishes with a touch of Guizhou style which incorporates a lot of red chilies.
The restaurant has become such a success, the Guizhou owners were able to open up four other locations in a short amount of time. Some patrons claim to have had the best meal they have ever experienced in this stylish eatery. The popularity of the place makes reservations a must. The style of dress is casual but many of the hip clientele dress to impress since meeting and mingling is always a possibility during lunch or dinner. Cigar smoking is allowed and there is a private room available for more special occasions.
The next time you are in the mood for something different, something spicy, sweet, and scrumptious, or all of the above, Three Guizhou Men is the perfect choice.
