  • Quan Ju De (Peking Duck)

Founded in the early 1860s, this is one of the most delicious, authentic and famous place to eat in Beijing. The top dish of course is Peking roast duck with sweet sauce with a piece of lovely shallot. A great place to eat out!

  • Fangshan (Imperial)

One of the most exclusive restaurants in Beijing, Fangshan is located on a lake’s edge. It offers a great variety of meat, with a wide range of steak, lamb, pork chops, roasted sweet potatoes and a whole cooked fish. Do not be surprised if you end up overeating!

  • Afunti Uighur Restaurant

This is the most popular and rousing Muslim restaurant in Beijing and it surely lives up to its good reputation. Upon arrival, you’ll feel the mood of partying and spicing up the evening. I won’t be surprised if you can’t stop staring at those sexy belly-dancers so don’t forget to hold up your big jaw to avoid making a complete fool of yourself! After dinner, if you fancy a bit of exercise, you’re welcome to join your fellow diners and dancers on the tables too!

 

  • Beijing Da Dong Roast Duck

Another famous place to have Peking Duck. The main dish is absolutely tasty and the rest of the food is also nice. The restaurant is fully air-conditioned, though smoking is fully permitted. Some locals say you could smell like the food you had after leaving but there isn’t much doubt it’s a great place to eat.

  • 1001 Nights

This is a Mecca for meat lovers and vegetarians alike, so to speak. The menu is clear and states which dishes are meat and which are not and apparently the majority are meat free too. You can choose to sit both inside or outside on the huge terrace. The overall atmosphere is brilliant, the food magnificent and the service impeccable. What else could you ask for!
