This was such a fun experience! Even though I’ve personally been to Beijing quite a few times, I was still delighted by all the food we got to sample. Make sure to pace yourself, because it is too easy to want to eat everything at every place! Our host, Winnie, was so sweet, knowledgeable, and welcoming, and really elevated the whole experience. Even at the end of the night, she helped out those taking the metro and made sure we all made it home safe. Definitely book this tour if you’d like to spend a wonderful evening eating good food and chatting with people from around the world!

Our guide was named Cameron and she did a fantastic job organizing the group and made excellent choices of restaurants. We had so much fun seeing parts of the city and eating delicious food at each of the hidden gems she showed us. Worth every penny!

An excellent way to experience hidden food gems in Beijing. Our host, Flower, was knowledgeable and friendly. It was lovely to be able to communicate in English with our guide. Highly recommended.

Such a good experience! It was my first time doing a food tour and I have no regrets. It was amazing to learn a bit about chinese's history and culture while eating traditional food. My guide, June, was amazing and extra nice. I'm a bit of a lightweight so she took the time to recommend me drinks when we went to the brewery!

This was an excellent tour! We got to try a lot of different foods and visit restaurants we never would have found or been able to navigate on our own. We learned about Chinese cuisine and culture while making friends with the other travelers. Our tour guide Winnie was particularly helpful and sweet, helping us get a cab to go home at the end. I highly recommend Winnie and this food tour!

Winnie was a wonderful guide for our Beijing Hutong Tour! She was very knowledgeable and super friendly! The food was awesome, and there was a lot of it, so suggest pacing yourself if you book!

It was a fun, delicious and fascinating tour! The food was amazing, the tour guides were very kind, they told us many anecdotes, stories and facts about the district, the food and the Chinese traditions. I can only recommend it!

Did this tour yesterday evening with my wife. We were 11 people from different places in the world. Winnie (the guide) was great and funny too. Very happy and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience

A wonderful end to our week in Beijing and a great way to treat a friend for his birthday. Our guide, Lan, was taking her first tour. She was excellent. Really friendly, passionate and informative of both the food and history of the area. The food choices were delicious, in restaurants we would never have found. Each one was so tasty. But pace yourselves as the hospitality in each restaurant is very generous. We ended in a brewery, where LostPlate had arranged a cake for my friend’s birthday. Fully deserved 5*!

Our guide Winnie was excellent! She took us to 4 great places to eat (plus one more to drink) and provided delicious food at every place! One place was especially out of the way, and I never would have found it otherwise! Winnie was so much fun throughout the evening and even helped us get a cab at the end of the evening. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

My husband and I had a fantastic time on this tour with our guide Cameron and trainee guide Winnie! There was 9 of us on the tour in total and the spots we went to were never going to be places that as a tourist you could find on your own. At the meeting spot Cameron arrived and dishes out cold beers and drinks immediately whilst we waiting for the remaining attendees to arrive. (The drinks are free flow and Cameron ensures you are always topped up! They also gifted a beer can cooler with Lost Plate branding on it as a souvenir!) The first spot was a local noodles place - we thought we were going to share bowls but we had a whole bowl each to ourselves! The second spot was my favourite - deep into one of the Hutongs it was in the owners old house - this place was packed with so many people waiting for a table. (Cameron phones ahead to ensure the table is ready so there is no waiting). We had four dishes and they were the most delicious Chinese dishes I have ever eaten. The third stop we have delicious piping hot Roubling (I would describe as a Chinese pie or dumpling) coupled with Chinese Wine (like vodka) - shots all round! Last good stop we visited a Mongolian bbq place - there was a bit of a wait here but we didn't mind sitting outside chatting, people watching and having a beer. Cameron kindly helped us to cook our meat and veges on our bbq plate before we headed off the the final stop for a beer at a local brewery. The only one negative which is in no way on Cameron or the tour is that the brewery only has one female toilet and it was very busy so the line for the toilet was very long. We were so glad that we attended this tour - the food was absolutely delicious and guides were great - highly recommend!! Ps. Wish we got better photos but the food was so yum we weren't focussed on taking pics! The food will not disappoint and you will definitely leave being full - these are full meals not just a taste!

We had a great food/beer tour with the guide, Bonnie in Beijing. We were taken to authentic restaurants that we would never have found on our own. Bonnie was friendly and informative on our route through the area about the food, area and the culture. Bonnie brought ample cans of beer that we could have in any of the restaurants. We also visited a lovely pub on the last stop where we could order from the bar. We had a small, lovely group of people with us on the tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. We would not have felt confident choosing small out of the way restaurants ourselves. We trusted that the restaurants on the Viator tour would not upset our western tummies - it was our first night of our holiday so we were keen to stay well (we did)! Anyway, we really enjoyed the food and company. Bonnie, the guide was lovely and even arranged a taxi for us back to our hotel on her phone where she paid for the taxi. In the process of giving Bonnie the money for the taxi to ensure we totally covered the fare there was a bit of a miscommunication between myself and my husband and we omitted to give Bonnie a tip (we had just arrived in Beijing from the UK that morning having missed a nights sleep so were a bit jet lagged is our excuse). Anyway massive apologies to Bonnie for the lack of a tip- she absolutely deserved one! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to Beijing. Thank you Bonnie (and the other lovely people on the tour), It was a delight.

Ruixi Hu was our guide on a fun walk through the Hutongs in Beijing. We have also done the Shanghai version, but this one seemed more personal and off the beaten path! Great food, great stories and great company. Highly recommend.

A nice selection of food, from noodles to buns to Mongolian style bbq. Lots of beer if you like. Lovely guide Bonnie explained the cuisine and the influence on Beijing cuisine from the different dynasties.

We had an amazing experience with our guide Jeffery who was knowledgeable, informative and helpful. The spots we stopped at had a great variety of food and every place was warm and welcoming. This is our third Lost Plate tour and will not be our last.
