Every issue, we like to shine a spotlight on the most delicious dishes we’ve stumbled upon recently in Beijing. Chow down!

Australian beef ribs
Q Mex, RMB 188 
Roasted imported Australian beef ribs served alongside sour cream garlic mushrooms, chimichurri sauce, and crispy potato wedges. Swing by on Thursdays for Q Mex’s irresistible half-price ribs deal.

Eggs Benedict 
Jing-A, RMB 108 (as part of a three-course brunch set)
New on Jing-A’s brunch menu, the eggs Benedict are one option of three as part of a three-course set meal. The crispy bacon blew us away, something we don’t say often in Beijing, and the eggs were as runny as they should be. Pair with a potent breakfast beergarita, and you’re set.

Avo smash 
Home Grounds, RMB 50 
Located right next to popular gym Base Fit and run by the same team, it’s no surprise that Home Grounds’ dishes are both healthy and hearty. We recommend the smashed avocado, topped with feta cheese, a sprinkling of cumin-scented hazelnut dukkah, and a soft boiled egg.

Foie gras and duck ravioli 
Mojo, RMB 188 
Aiming to meet high expectations, new Gongti addition Mojo’s ravioli with foie gras and duck left us impressed. The dish was rounded out with seared king prawns, baby spinach, and veal, and yet was not overwhelmed by this variety of ingredients.

Beef tenderloin pinxto 
La Galleria, RMB 78 
A generous wedge of toasted homemade baguette slice topped off with sweet caramelized onions, Australian beef tenderloin, and a slice of brie cheese. The tender beef and crunchy baguette make for perfect palette partners.
