Shi Jiu
Chaoyang, Beijing
A Michelin-starred reimagining of Beijing cuisine, plating heritage flavors with the drama of modern gastronomy.
Shi Jiu (Ten Nine) earned its Michelin star by treating Beijing classics as material for serious cooking: crispy duck with caviar, wagyu with laozao wine, and a dessert trolley that looks like an art installation.
The dining room is warm and unpretentious, but every dish arrives with a story the English-speaking staff are delighted to tell. It is the right table for a big celebration, an expense-account dinner, or travelers who want to see what Beijing chefs are doing when they leave the hutong noodle shops behind.
Best for: Michelin-level Beijing cuisine that photographs like art.
