TRIBE Brings Organic BOOM to Changle Lu

The Changle Lu/ Fumin Lu area just got a little more interesting courtesy of organic restaurant TRIBE. We stopped by this past weekend to find out what all the buzz was about.

The Concept

TRIBE is already a well-known name in Beijing, where they’ve been since 2014. They’ve won numerous healthy eats awards there since then and have finally decided to bring their concept to the ‘hai. 

Although they’re very much a ‘green’ and ‘organic’ spot, TRIBE is not a vegan restaurant, meat options such as beef tenderloin and pork ribs are available. The emphasis is on healthy and organic foods, with all dishes thoroughly labeled to tell you if it’s high in Fiber, Vegetarian, Vegan, sugar free, high in Probiotics etc. 

TRIBE has put a lot of effort into making ‘organic’ a fun concept. Their philosophy in a nutshell: food is life, and life is fun! And so, of course, eating there is a ton of fun. The foods all pop with color and aroma, the presentations are wildly eye-catching, the soundtrack makes you want to dance around and you just might with their selection of organic cocktails (yes, with alcohol).

Why not pair your salad with a cocktail or a biodynamic wine? Expect to see a bunch of upcoming parties this spring with DJs, funky concepts and tons of trendy people.

The Food

Several menus are available, depending on which time you get there. TRIBE has already been running for years so there’s no “soft opening” menu and most of the dishes have been deeply road tested already.

They have breakfast on weekdays from 8am to 2pm, lunch on weekdays 11am- 5pm, Dinner everyday 5pm – 10:30pm and OF COURSE, brunch on weekends 8am- 5pm. Dishes are slightly the same, but availability changes depending on the time.  As you might expect, their biggest menu is brunch, lunch offerings are more casual and dinner is gastronomic. 

In terms of price range, here is what to expect:

Breakfast RMB48-58: All Good Avocado Egg Toast, You Bet Your Banana Bread French Toast, Omelette…

Pastries RMB18-28: 5/7 GrainBread, Vegan Carrot Cake, Almond Cookie…

Starters RMB25-58:Get on That Grapefruit and Arugula Salad, Soup, Carrot Hummus with Crackers, Mushroom Salad…

Wraps RMB68-78 Bangin’ BulgogiBeef Wrap, Tender is The Tandoori Chicken Salad Wrap, Get-it-in-ya Grilled Salmon Sandwich…

Last but not least Noodles at RMB58: Just Me and Yunnan Rice Noodle Soup, Handsome Chicken Noodle Soup

TRIBE’s menu changes frequently with seasons and food cycles. All dishes can be paired with a smoothie or cold pressed juices, which will also change depending on the season. 

TRIBE fits right into the buzzing F&B neighborhood there among Funkadeli, Chicken & egg, O delice, and Al’s diner. We’ll be going back again very soon and you should too!

What to eat: Depends on your diet, but for once vegan and carnivore alike can share the same table
