- 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.

Best way to experience... - Best way to experience real local food while walking through the hutongs and hearing all about traditions linked to food. Yoyo is an absolute gem!
She was so much fun and turns out she is a Famous Food critic so what better way to explore local cuisine then with Yoyo :-)

Great food tour in Beijing! - We really enjoyed this food tour a lot! Our guide Tegan was fabulous, we really liked her! The food was good, nice variation of dishes and plenty to eat. And drink, all the beers!! Discover restaurants and food you wouldn’t by yourself!

Peking Plates - Guide Teagan was great, expertly navigating us through the Hutongs to four diverse & unique restaurants. There was more than enough food (and beer!) to go around. A reasonably priced way to overindulge your tastebuds and senses!

Great way to find local food, definitely did not leave hungry or thirsty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Even in the pouring down rain this was a great tour (just remember your umbrella friends!) delicious food which we would not have been able to find on our own. Win was a great guide full of good tidbits about the area and the food. More than enough food and drinks to go around. 5/5

Great way to explore Beijing's Hutongs! - We had a great time on the Beijing Hutong Evening Food Tour (June 2025). Winnie our guide gave us so much info on the hutongs through the dishes we tried and her knowledge of the area. The food we tasted was all delicious and we had a great variety of different types of dishes to try. We were also never left thirsty with endless beer/soft drinks always available! Thank you Winnie, Barry & Lost Plate!

Delicious food - We were taken to places that as a tourist you may not have found on your own, and they were all excellent. Everything was there waiting for us when we arrived at each place. Really worth it and delicious.

Foodtour - It was different from what i expected. The guide was super sweet and knew alot. Zoey knew what she was doing and was answering any questions we had. But it wasnt as spectaculair as i hoped. Ive done food tours before, there you would go by so many restaurants/food stands and you would eat till you couldnt physically stand anymore. After this tour i was still hungry and ate somewhere else afterwards. I recommend it still, it was fun meeting different people and learning small bits i did not know before. But the tour could do with visiting more places.
