Before I go on any trip, I like to plan where and what to eat during my travels. I can do ‘spontaneous’ now and then, but I generally prefer to know where I’m going to be eating! As the Olympics start in a few days, I thought I’d write up my notes on the Beijing restaurants and eateries that I hope to visit in October as part of a two week trip to Hong Kong, Macau and Beijing. Although it’s only the first draft of the list, it might be useful to visitors to Beijing during and after the Olympics. I’ve consulted friends and family out there, and read many online reviews…

What a great resource, Helen. I, too, carry out endless amounts of research on where to eat and shop for food-related goodies before I travel, so I’m sure you’ve saved other like-minded travelers a lot of time and effort with this guide. I only wish I were headed to Beijing soon. I was last there in 2002, and the places I ate were a mixed bag, so if only I’d had your guide back then. : ) Thanks for putting this together, and I’ll look forward to hearing your first-hand accounts when you go there in a few months.
waw!! thanks for the tip…and the list of food and joints..Would have to try almost all of them because they really sound delicious.
Hi American in London, thanks! It really sounds like the restaurant scene has become really exciting since I was last there. I’d get excited over the simplest things. There was a small cheese shop in Sanlitun and I used to go there all the time! Now that I’ve done most of the research, I’m looking forward to my trip.
