With approximately 50,000 restaurants to choose from, eating out is very much part of living in Beijing. You can find just about any kind of restaurant in this city, be it a wide variety of Chinese cuisine, pan-Asian, European, South American, African, fusion, the list goes on and on. There are restaurants to suit all kinds of tastes and budgets. It is just as easy to find a restaurant serving authentic Chinese cuisine as it is to find a sushi bar or a vegetarian restaurant.
Don’t despair if you want to try some of the local cuisine and cannot speak Chinese. Many of the restaurants have menus with pictures on them, so ordering is as simple as pointing. Remember that nearly every restaurant only has chopsticks for utensils, so start practicing!
Many of the local magazines such as That’s Beijing and City Weekend have comprehensive and up-to-date listings and reviews of restaurants in the city.
