Lost Plate
Dongcheng, Beijing
Beijing's best food tours: back-alley noodle shops, dumpling joints, and the stories behind them.
Lost Plate runs evening food walks through neighborhoods you would never find alone: steam-table counters, hand-pulled noodles, lamb skewers grilled over charcoal, and the courtyard houses where Beijing eats dinner.
Groups are capped at ten, guides are born-and-raised locals, and you will eat more than is legal. Book ahead - they sell out weeks in advance.
Best for: The dinner you could never find on your own.
