OLYMPIC SPECIAL:
Savour Asia's Top 10 Beijing Restaurants
Beijing boasts an amazing diversity of Chinese food, encompassing nearly all that is cooked and eaten across all corners of China. Here, we present to you our current top 10 favorites, each representing a different regional style or local specialty. [Note: restaurants in alphabetical order]
Da Gui - Fragrant aromatics, mountain ferns and mushrooms, smoked bacon, and tart spiciness delight your palate; Guizhou cooking done right.
Din Tai Fung - The classic savory pork steamed "soup dumplings" are the best in the city. The rest of the short, sweet Shanghai-style menu is also good.
Duck de Chine - Fabulous crisp skinned Peking roast duck in an industrial chic environment; simple and delicious accompanying appetizers and side dishes.
Hua Jia Yi Yuan - Come for the refined homestyle flavors; the lovely courtyard setting is a bonus.
Lei Garden - Delicate dim sum and other Guangdong specialties; don't miss the cha shao rou.
Noodle Bar - A tiny sophisticated space serving up classic northern comfort food: thick hand pulled noodles paired with rich, dark, savory beef broth.
Qin Tang Fu - Vinegary and spicy noodles and dumplings shine at this simple, traditional Shaanxi restaurant. Don't forget the roasted, pulled pork sandwiches.
 Wu Ming Ju - Lighter southern style flavors without excessive sweetness; enjoy the slow roasted and braised chicken, pork and duck house specialties.
Yu Xin - Authentic Sichuan spice and nuanced flavors done with more care than most of Beijing's Sichuan food factories.
Yue Lu Shan Wu - Artist Fang Lijun's slick eatery showcases not only his iconic artwork but also the fierce spice and savory, smoky flavors of Hunan cooking.
