Migas Mercado

Beijing


A fun-loving, well-heeled CBD hangout, Spanish-run Migas serves sun-drenched fare including grilled octopus and Iberian pork on a fabulous terrace space facing the much-photographed CCTV Headquarters. It's a gorgeous setting worth your time, even if you just stop by for evening cocktails.
