(NEWS) BEIJING, 2025-Oct-29 — /Travel PR News/ — In the latest Michelin Guide Beijing 2026, two of Four Seasons Hotel Beijing’s acclaimed dining venues — Cai Yi Xuan and Mio — have once again secured their place among the city’s culinary elite, according to their press announcement. The Chinese restaurant Cai Yi Xuan retained its Michelin star, while the Italian restaurant Mio earned a Michelin recommendation, marking the seventh consecutive year that the hotel’s restaurants have been honoured by the prestigious guide.
The recognition reinforces Four Seasons Hotel Beijing’s growing reputation as a cornerstone of fine dining in China’s capital, where consistency and creativity are key to standing out in an increasingly competitive gastronomic scene. “Earning a Michelin distinction is a defining milestone in any chef’s career, but sustaining that level of excellence year after year is truly extraordinary,” said General Manager Lili Wong. She commended the teams behind both restaurants for their “unwavering artistry, passion, and craftsmanship,” noting that the accolades reflect their ability to meet and exceed expectations through continuous dedication to culinary excellence.
Cai Yi Xuan, known for its polished interiors and refined Cantonese cuisine, exemplifies traditional Chinese elegance reimagined for contemporary diners. The restaurant’s design — featuring zebrawood floors, garden-inspired decor, and eight private rooms including two VIP suites — provides an intimate backdrop for Executive Chef Li Qiang’s creations. Chef Li, whose career spans over a decade, brings a modern touch to time-honoured Cantonese techniques, particularly wok hei, resulting in dishes that are both innovative and deeply rooted in culinary heritage.
Mio, on the other hand, brings a slice of Italy to Beijing with its open kitchen, interactive service, and blend of Northern and Southern Italian flavours. The restaurant’s culinary philosophy revolves around connection — between chef and guest, tradition and modernity, Italy and China. By combining authentic Italian craftsmanship with local ingredients and influences, Mio has carved out a distinctive identity in Beijing’s dining landscape.
As Beijing’s culinary scene continues to evolve, the sustained recognition of Cai Yi Xuan and Mio serves as a reminder that excellence in fine dining depends not only on innovation, but on the ability to deliver perfection consistently. For Four Seasons Hotel Beijing, the dual honour reinforces its position as a destination for discerning travellers and local gourmands seeking both cultural authenticity and global sophistication at the table.
