Taking its name from a street of culinary delights in Macau, China, Rua da Cunha Macau, China Hotpot is a ten-year old Beijing restaurant that serves a blend of southern Chinese and Portuguese cuisines inspired by the owner’s hometown. Its new branch in Beijing’s Central Business District, designed by local practice Golucci Interior Architects, similarly blends a modernist sensibility with traditional decorative motifs to create a sophisticated environment where patrons can enjoy a fine-dining menu of fresh seafood, Australian beef and organically sourced vegetables along with panoramic views of the city’s skyscrapers.

Serendipitously, the architects had been regular customers of the restaurant's original Beijing venue due to its proximity to their office. When they were commissioned to design the interiors of the new branch years later, they approached the project with the invaluable, first-hand knowledge of its cultural and culinary identity which needed to be transferred, this time, to the high-end, corporate environment of the CBD district.
