Beijing Guide

Outdoor Dining

Beijing has very warm evenings from May to September (inclusive) and so outdoor dining is very popular in these months.

Side Dishes / Entrees

Many restaurants, especially Korean ones, provide free small side dishes, often as entrees, such as the one shown below.

Western Style Food

There are about 1000 McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants in Beijing. At McDonalds, prices are about 1/3 of those in the West. Pizza Huts have similar prices to the West but the service and decor in these are particularly good.
