- Drum Tower (Gulou) Park - This hidden treasure offers rooftop views of Beijing’s historic bell tower and serves local hotpot in traditional copper pots filled with a clear broth that showcases the quality ingredients. Thin slices of mutton and beef are quickly cooked in the pot and then dipped in a sauce made with sesame paste…plus enjoy a pint of local craft beer!
- Nanluoguxiang - Operated by a husband-wife duo, this hidden restaurant specializes in spring pancakes, a dish traditionally enjoyed with family during Chinese New Year to celebrate the arrival of spring and a good harvest. Made fresh to order, they are eaten like a burrito and symbolize family reunion and togetherness.
- Mao’er Hutong No.45 Parking Lot - When Beijingers crave noodles, there’s only one dish that comes to mind. In fact, we literally call it “Beijing Noodles” because all other noodle dishes are considered inferior. Visit the Yan family’s 100+ year old home, nestled deep inside a hutong courtyard, to try their made-from-scratch secret recipe.

Amazing food tour! - Great tour, lots of delicious food paired with drinks (lots of beer!) and history behind each plate. Amazing way to get to know China with a local. Uyi was a great host and made us feel right at home.

Food tour september 2025 - Great! We made 4 stops, and I left with a very full stomach! The restaurants were all traditional, and we learned a little history about each of our dishes! Thank you Grace, for your kindness and advice. Since I came alone, I was a little worried about feeling uncomfortable, but thanks to you, everyone felt included and had a wonderful evening. I highly recommend this activity!

Great tour of properly local food spots - This was a great tour given by our lovely guide Zooey. She was so friendly and great at explaining all the dishes we were trying and leading us to local restaurants I never would have found myself. She looked after the group really well and I’d definitely recommend this tour and her to anyone coming to Beijing.

He was social, he shared proper technique on how to eat certain foods, and definitely made sure that all on the tour were properly served! It was a great food introduction to Beijing and would highly recommend and invite others to book this tour!
