This hidden gem offers rooftop views of Beijing’s historic bell tower and serves local hotpot in traditional copper pots and filled with a clear broth that highlights the quality ingredients.

Nanluoguxiang (Pass by)
Run by a husband-wife team, 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.

(Pass by)
When Beijingers want noodles, there’s only one dish we think about. In fact, we literally call it “Beijing Noodles” because all other noodle dishes are inferior. Visit the Yan family’s 100+ year old home, nestled deep inside a hutong courtyard, to try their made-from-scratch secret recipe.
