The capital of one of the world’s most food-obsessed civilizations, Beijing is blessed with more options for delicious, authentic representations of China’s diverse cuisines than any other city.

Written by Eileen Wen Mooney, a long-term Beijing resident food writer, Beijing Eats is a guide to the restaurants that only locals know about. Chapters dedicated to each provincial cuisine will help you find the best Beijing has to offer from Sichuan peppercorns to Yunnan’s wild mushrooms, Shanghai dumplings to Xinjiang naan flatbread, Cantonese dim sum, dozens of schools of noodles and hundreds of magical mouthfuls in-between.

A perfect companion for foodies and gourmands, Beijing Eats will take you on a culinary voyage through China’s 28 provinces – without ever leaving Beijing.
