The menu showcases the freshest ingredients, and all the dishes are made in-house. The restaurant also features a selection of cold dishes, such as marinated sesame bean curd, Huairou salad with coriander, and deep-fried Sichuan peppercorn buds. As for the main dishes, besides grilled Huairou trout with a traditional spice blend, the menu is comprised of an array of choices, ranging from braised pork belly served with chestnut, braised organic eggplant with Chinese cake and fried eggs with leeks, to stir-fried cauliflower with chili. To satisfy a sweet tooth, guests can finish their meal with delightful desserts such as Huairou chestnut cake, Huairou hawthorn jelly or a Huairou local walnut tart.

If guests have more than a day to spare, they are invited to go on a culinary voyage. It is a delicious and entertaining way to learn about an area, and it is a chance to visit a variety of locally-owned farms in one day. Sunrise Kempinski, Beijing takes pride in going off the beaten path and serving dishes that tell the story of Huairou. Together with the culinary team, guests have the chance to visit the local farms that deliver daily nutritious ingredients to the hotel, from fresh trout to garden-fresh fruits and vegetables.
