Kiessling Restaurant

Kiessling Restaurant occupies a historic building with European architectural features and local design elements from early 20th century Tianjin. The space is divided into several dining areas and offers both European and Chinese dishes.

The restaurant was founded in 1907 during the period when international settlements were establishing themselves in Tianjin and Western culinary traditions were arriving in northern China. This founding marked the beginning of a time when European influences took root in the city.

The restaurant reflects the blending of European and Chinese culinary styles that developed in early modern Tianjin. Visitors can experience this mixture directly through the dishes offered and the way the space welcomes different dining traditions.

The location sits on Nanjing Road and welcomes guests daily with table service across multiple dining rooms. The position in Heping District makes it accessible to visitors from different parts of the city.

The interior preserves original elements from its founding period, including wooden furnishings and decorative ceiling details from 1907. These details allow visitors to step back into the location's past.
