Old Beijing Evening Food Tour

Delve into the heart of traditional Beijing with this evening food tour that takes you beyond the tourist restaurants. Throughout this culinary experience, you will explore the hutongs, the ancient alleyways that form the soul of the city, while savouring some of the most authentic and representative dishes of Beijing cuisine.

The tour is on foot and in a small group, allowing you to move around flexibly and enjoy a closer experience. You'll be accompanied by a local foodie guide who will explain not only what you're eating, but also where it comes from, how it's prepared and when it's usually served.

During the tour you will make several stops at family restaurants, street stalls and small taverns that are part of the everyday life of the Beijingers. You will be able to sample over 15 different dishes, which may include specialities such as:

• Jiaozi (steamed or fried Chinese dumplings).
• Crispy stuffed pancakes
• Homemade noodles
• Spiced lamb dishes
• And, of course, traditional desserts

In addition to food, the tour includes local craft beer and traditional drinks. Throughout the tour, your guide will also share with you historical and cultural anecdotes that will help you better understand how food is part of Beijing's identity.
