A city of 40,000 eateries, but so much of it remains uncharted culinary territory. How to discover new gems? How to avoid the imitators? We asked the people who know best: ten local Chinese experts passionate about good eating in Beijing. We asked our experts to each nominate their five favorite hidden or little known restaurants. We visited them (often more than once), ate our fill (often more than was sensible), and settled on these.
