Tian’an Men Square and the Forbidden City : Places to eat

CourtYard

Huang Ting

Beautiful recreation of an Old Beijing-style restaurant in the basement of a five-star hotel (see Huang Ting).
Jing

Outstanding Asian-flavored fusion menu in refined surrounds (see Jing).
Made In China

Classy venture with stunning design and even better food (see Made In China).
My Humble House

High-concept fusion food in a beautiful conservatory-like setting next door to the Grand Hyatt.
Oriental Plaza Food Court

The basement of this upscale shopping mall has a Southeast Asian-style food court offering everything from Chinese street foods to sushi.
Princess Mansion

Refined imperial court cuisine in a mansion that once belonged to the Empress Cixi. Excellent food comes with theatrical frills.
Quanjude

Beijing’s most famous duck restaurant has several branches but this is the most convenient, just a few steps off southern Wangfujing.
RBL

Classy, modern sushi bar (see RBL) with attached blues bar, Icehouse.
Wangfujing Night Market

A line up of 40 or 50 stalls entice and repulse in equal measure with meat kabobs but also flame-grilled snake and scorpions.
