Exceptional service, fresh ingredients and a buzzy vibe. Hai Di Lao towers above other hotspot restaurants in the city if you ask us. They have locations across the city, so if Haidian isn't convenient, you can certainly find one that works for you.

Don't let the subtle, simple exterior fool you. Sheng Rong Xing is all glamour. This sleek Michelin-starred spot is THE place to feast on Peking duck. Crispy. Juicy. Perfect.

This 24-hour Chinese restaurant is our go-to for late-night dim sum cravings (a frequent occurrence whenever we're in Beijing!). Order everything on the menu. Regret nothing.

With a modern take on Yunnanese cuisine and stellar signature cocktails, Lost Heaven is a culinary paradise. Located in the former site of the American embassy, it's a favourite in Beijing.
