The Best Late Night Eats In Tianjin

It’s been a long day in Tianjin. You just finished that meeting, or got back from your Great Wall trip but don’t want to end this night- and you’re starving. The good news is that Tianjin’s got a few restaurants that serve until midnight or later, and some are the best in town! Although many bars double as late-night eating joints, here are Tianjin’s best restaurants to enjoy a meal in the late evening.

Matzuzawa Restaurant

This nicely hidden Japanese restaurant is nestled within the towers of five-star hotels and commerce skyscrapers, on the riverside of Hai He. Seemingly managed by its own head chef, Matzuzawa is one of the best Japanese restaurants you will find late night downtown. Open until midnight, its authentic cuisine includes all of your fresh favorites in sushi, sashimi and more.

WE Brewery

Hungry for a burger? WE Brewery was started by Steve Wang, a native of Tianjin, in 2015. It has since become Tianjin’s waterhole for expats – although the main attraction here is its delicious craft brews, if you’re not up for drinks, their burgers are known to be genuinely tasty. Open until 2am on Friday and Saturdays and midnight every night after.

Venezia Club Italian Restaurant & Winery

Said to be the only ‘true’ Italian restaurant in Tianjin, Venezia Clubis owned and managed by an Italian native and his son. Thankfully open until midnight, this family-owned restaurant is one of the few in Tianjin where it is possible to savor authentic Italian food. Remember pizza takes a while to prepare, so don’t come in too late! Do try gnocchi, lamb chops, and for dessert, the strudel.
