Lucky Street for Lucky Diners

2006/01/01

Lucky Street, a new food street in the Lufthansa area, began operations just before Christmas offering the posh residents of this community an attractive dining alternative.
The street, next to the west wing of the Century Theatre, is lined with four-storey independent buildings. Each building has three storeys above ground. Twenty-two catering services are based on the street, offering Sichuan, Hong Kong, Macao, Japanese, Korean, Thai, German, French, Australian, and tropical islands fare as well as fusion cuisine. The 22 eateries include two galleries which serve as cafés and teahouses.


Beijing's top bar, Nashville, also established its second outlet here. You can enjoy all the delicious food the old Nashville provided and a wider range of alcoholic beverages.
North of Lucky Street there are newly constructed foreign embassies; so the street has oriented itself to serving both Chinese and overseas diners in a small English town-like environment. Although the signals and menus are written in Chinese, the waiters and waitresses there are fluent masters of English.
Twelve out of the 22 restaurants were opened to the public in December and the remaining will open this month.
