The Best Breakfast and Brunches in Shunyi, Beijing
The northeast Beijing’s suburban district Shunyi is perhaps not home to as many good restaurants as the downtown Beijing, but with many new residential compounds welcoming their new occupants, the set up of various leisure centers, and the iconic New China International Exhibition Center in the district in recent years, Shunyi has no lack of good breakfast and brunch spots today, with a fairly cheaper price than its downtown equivalents.

The bakery and restaurant Manna is one of the best of its kind in Shunyi.

It has children’s meals too, which is ideal for families with little kids.
