While the Veggie Burger Cup is still happening, we have news for fans of meaty burgers! Several establishments across the capital have introduced new burgers to their menus. From creative fusion dishes to unusual flavor combinations and even some returning classics, there's a lot to satisfy your cravings!
Great Leap
Great Leap has recently unveiled its summer menu under the theme “summer just got fresher,” incorporating healthier, fresh dishes and ingredients. One of the "healthier" options is the Avocado Burger (RMB 65), which combines sliced avocado with melted cheese and a beef patty, all nestled in a butter-toasted bun and served alongside their signature fries. While it may not be the healthiest choice, with avocado included, you're at least getting one of your five daily servings of fruits and vegetables!
Location: Great Leap Brewing #121/F, Ziming Dasha, 12A Xinzhong Jie, Dongcheng District
Hours: Sun-Thu, 11am-2am; Fri-Sat 11am-3am

The set includes Spicy-Sweet Fruit Salad and Creamy Yunnan-Guizhou Sour Fish, plus two watermelon-infused beers: the Beijing Bikini 11.0 and Watermelon Cool. The set is available at all Jing-A locations until July 25.
