Bloggers' bite

For a quick bite, or a sip of coffee or wine after a stroll in the nearby New World shopping mall, you could do a lot worse than the newly opened Blog Coffee (布洛格咖吧). This gastro-bar is comfortably decorated in contemporary style. Internationally popular varieties of coffees are ground and brewed a la minute, and dishes are cooked and presented in truly cosmopolitan fashion to the accompaniment of French and Australian wines.

9:30am-2:30pm. Average spending is 60-80 yuan. Opposite New World Countryard Hotel Beijing, behind Chongwenmen New World Shopping Mall to the west. 6708-6698.
