This restaurant, also known as Kiessling 1901, has got to be the worst food in Tianjin. I have no idea how they have stayed in business so long. My lasagna was about 2cm thick and didn't even have tomatoes or tomato sauce. My friend's "Tomato Salad" was in fact potato salad with far too much mayonnaise. My boyfriend order the Meat Platter. The items on it (which I will not dignify with the labels "steak" or even "beef") were totally inedible. Go literally anywhere else. There's a KFC next door that would be a better option.

This walking street of European style is situated in the area of Xiabailou, or Little White Buildings, which has been so well-known to the locals for decades. Coffee shops and restaurants serving western cuisines line up on the two sides of the half-a-mile street. Outdoor seating of those restaurants shows a different landscape to the Chinese restaurant businesses. Unlike the other districts in the large city, this community has been immersed in the western culture for over a century, partially due to the German cuisine served at Kiessling, named after its first owner, Albert Kiessling, in 1901. Its fresh bread, pastries, and entries have enjoyed a good reputation among its patrons.
