The Taiwanese food here is good. As well as serving typical Sichuan dishes with a Taiwanese twist, Bellagio offers authentic Taiwanese regional specialties such as mi gao, glutinous rice with dried mushrooms and dried shrimp. The staff will also recommend other tempting choices like stir-fried rice noodles, tofu in clay pots and meatball soup. But desserts have never been an integral part of the Chinese meal; savory dishes like pork-filled fried eggplant are the main draw.

You can finish your meal with the hong dou bing, a Taiwanese-style dish of crushed ice and toppings of red bean, green bean, mango, strawberry or peanut. It is this dessert that has brought fame to Bellagio.

Bellagio stays open until 4am, which makes it popular with Beijing¡¯s after-hours crowd. Not only does it have probably the best-dressed clents of any restaurant in town, it also must be the only place where all staff members have identical cropped haircuts.
