Hua An German Butcher Shop

On the first floor of the World Trade Center and in the middle of bustling Guomao is this treat of a butcher’s shop. They stock a wide range of local and European-style meats as well other deli essentials like cheeses and breads. Just the place to score some quality German sausage. Tel: 6505-3589

Lido Deli

What this place lacks in its less-than-creative name it more than makes up for with its abundance of foreign, imported goods sure to please even the most discriminating shopper. They even stock caviar. Plus, their coffee isn’t half bad either. Tel: 6437-6688 ext 1542

This pleasant and unassuming delicatessen is well stocked with imported European specialties (especially meat of the German variety) and is a hop skip and a jump east of Sanlitun. Quality meats, cheeses and breads, all within your grasp. Das ist sehr gut! Tel: 6591-9370
