Daily Delivery Tour: A Few Platters of Lasagna Options
Is there anyone out there who doesn’t love a good lasagna? Whether it’s the classic beef lasagna, a vegetarian lasagna or a vegan lasagna (though this doesn’t seem to have made it to Beijing yet) I truly can’t believe that anyone would not be a fan. Seriously how can you not love pasta layered with beef ragu, topped with a creamy béchamel sauce and cheese.
Now, Beijing is no Italy but it does have a pretty impressive collection of restaurants serving up this Italian classic so let’s have a look at where you can get your lasagna fix.
Mosto
Rumored among Beijing foodies to be the best lasagna in town, we have Mosto’s offering. They serve up a classic Beef Lasagna (RMB 88), topped with a béchamel sauce and parmesan crisp. For those vegetarians out there they also offer a Spinach and Kale Lasagna (RMB 78) with a parmesan sauce and pink tomato sauce.
Available to order on Meituan, JSS and Eleme, or search Mosto to find their official WeChat account to stay up to date with news.
Buona Bocca
As you’d expect from an Italian wine bar, Buona Bocca have various pasta dishes on their menu including two different types of lasagna. They have Lasagna Al Ragu (RMB 98) which combines both pork and beef mince as well as a vegetarian Pesto Lasagna (RMB 98). According to the menu both are the recipes of the mother of Buona Bocca’s owner, who hails from Bologna, one of the major culinary hubs of Italy, so they’re guaranteed to be good.
