When you need a break from Chinese fare and crave Spanish tapas, the best Spanish tapas restaurant in Beijing is arguably Mare. The tapas menu at Mare is both deep and wide and has an especially wide variety of vegetarian tapas in addition to calamari, stuffed peppers, baby lamb chops, prawns, and others. Come with friends, order many plates as they come out piping-hot out of the kitchen and match with the selection of robust wines. Seafood paella is offered on weekends. Do save space for their decadent dessert such as their chocolate fondant with vanilla bean ice cream.
