In recent months, numerous restaurants and bars have been launching new branches across Beijing. We previously noted that Q MEX expanded to Haidian for the first time in June, but they are not the only ones making waves in the capital.
Gran Moji Longfusi
Mexican restaurant Moji has recently opened Gran Moji in the Longfusi complex, which also includes other establishments such as Jing-A, SUSU, and Non-binary. This location features a spacious outdoor area transformed into a “Mexican Garden” adorned with brown stone walls and cacti. Here, you’ll find Moji's typical range of Mexican dishes, along with Western options like pasta, paella, steak, and more. For those looking to save, they offer a Taco Tuesday promotion starting at 5 pm, where all tacos are available at half price.

The Great Outdoor Chaoyang Park
When The Great Outdoor launched their Longfusi branch, they embraced a camping theme, which they have continued at their new location just southeast of Chaoyang Park. Nestled in the woods beside Prince Jun’s Mansion, this bar operates entirely outdoors with camping chairs and tables, even housed in a tent to enhance the atmosphere. They offer a selection of their signature brews on tap, along with classic cocktails if you prefer something stronger. For food, they have a barbecue setup featuring various skewers and snacks.
