Looking for Western Cuisine? Xi'an’s Unique Western Restaurants

There are numerous western restaurants in Xi'an, tucked away in every nook and alley around the city, but if it's genuine tasting western food you're looking for, then there's really only a handful that would qualify as a good eat. The following three dining venues definitely qualify in terms of both, food and the environment offered. You might even feel, for a brief instant, as though you are no longer in China.  These venues are also favorite dining places for expats in the city, so you can't go wrong with advice from those in the know. 

Green Jasmine Restaurants绿茉莉餐厅 View In Map
Green Jasmine Restaurant is an Irish-style dining venue. It is fitted with green windows, wooden fences, brick walls and a uniquely ornate facade that is very noticeable from the streets. The arched entryway into the restaurant serves to separate the outside bustling streets from the quieter, more intimate atmosphere on the inside. The dining area is furnished with European-style chairs and tables, chic windows and artsy curtains. Waiting staff at the venue are also very friendly and patient; they lead you to your table and then leave you be to peruse the menu and decide your order in your own time. 

Recommended dishes at Green Jasmine are definitely its pizza varieties; especially worth mentioning is the Irish pepperoni pizza with thin crust and rich cheese. Aside from the pizza, curry rice is also a top choice for many diners – the beef is tenderly cooked and delicious. One floor below the restaurant is an Irish-style bar with the famous zodiac series cocktails and a uniquely relaxing atmosphere to boot.

Moroccan Muslim Restaurants摩洛哥清真餐厅 View In Map
This dining venue is the only Moroccan restaurant in Xi'an. The dishes here have been prepared in the manner of traditional recipes and they offer a variety of genuine tasting Moroccan food. You can enjoy classic dishes like couscous and Tajine. Recommended is the lemon chicken with olives Tajine, a perfect combination of spices with meat, olives and lemons, served with spaghetti and bread. Also, desserts here are something else altogether. They have sweet and smooth honey warda and refreshing mint tea, very complementary together.

What's more, guests are especially impressed when the waiter brings a bronze bowl filled with water and rose petals for them to clean their hands before meals. The ever familiar Casablanca tune, great service and delicious food are all elements that guarantee a great dining experience.
