    Stop: 4 hours
    You will meet your guide and tuktuks at an easy-to-find central location near Beijing's Lama Temple and then wind your way through the narrow streets and alleys of Beijing's hutongs. We only try the best local food in the city at places where only locals go that are truly off the beaten path. You won't see any other tourists, these are family-run restaurants that you can't find on your own. Between food stops, you'll be able to chat with your English-speaking guide about the city while drinking unlimited local beer. While visiting our 4-5 food stops, you will get to learn about the families that have been making their specialties for generations. You'll learn how it's made and what makes it so special to Beijing locals. You will grill your own meat at a local BBQ joint, eat the best hand-made noodles in Beijing, and wrap delicious dishes in freshly made Beijing pancakes, plus more! The tour will finish at a local brewery with a pint of Beijing craft beer.

    Must do in Beijing!
    Thank you Kelly and Jim for a great introduction to food in Beijing! The breakfast food tour is a great way to see some local spots in the city, and the food was exceptional. Thank you for introducing me to a dirty latte!

    Excellent value!
    You absolutely get your money's worth with this tour! Kelly and her guide-in-training Jim did a fantastic job taking us around Beijing, explaining the history of the city and taking us to some really local spots with food that we never would have otherwise tried. We were stuffed to the brim with wonderful local delicacies and we even got some recommendations on where to eat during the rest of our visit, which also did not disappoint! Thank you again Kelly and Jim!

    Go hungry and pace yourself!
    There were six food stops and a 7th coffee stop to wrap everything up. I have lived in Beijing for four years now and still experienced so many new foods and great historical information about the dishes and the Hutong we were walking through. Our guide Kelly was on time, super knowledgable, and helped us with pacing our appetites! I highly recommend this tour. We did it with two teenagers and three adults on a glorious 10 AQI day.

    Lijiang Naxi Cuisine Cooking Class
    Lijiang Naxi Cuisine Cooking Class, visit Elephant Mountain market, Lijiang with your guide and chef, Fancy. Meet Fancy, a culinary expert who'll help you to prepare Yunnan Little Pot Rice Noodles, Ghost Chicken Salad and Palooda drink in her kitchen school. Her husband Li runs a successful bakery next door to the kitchen so an excellent excuse to take-away delights such as the popular Szechuan pepper bagels, pain au chocolat, and red tea and cheese bagels - delicious.

    Highly recommend this food tour!
    After 2 years of living in Beijing I signed up for this tour to do with 2 of my local friends and we had SUCH a great morning! Our guide, Kelly was incredible - she was friendly & professional and had SO much knowledge of local culture, history AND the food! My local friends learned new things & tried new restaurants/shops they’d never been to. I loved the selection/range of foods that we sampled - I wasn’t a ‘fan’ of all the dishes but I tried everything & discovered some delicious new dishes! The Hutong area that we toured was beautiful & full of history. Kelly spent some extra time with us making our experience above & beyond what we had expected. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

    Fun Variety of Breakfast Food
    The Lost Plate Hutong Breakfast Tour was awesome! It was great to see so much local food and taste a good number of popular breakfast items. I definitely wouldn't have gone into some of the restaurants unless someone guided me in, so I'm really grateful for getting this opportunity to enjoy some local food with a great guide. I highly recommend this food tour for anyone who is curious about the variety of breakfast foods in Beijing and wants to try more than 10 items. Prepare your stomachs!

    Delicious food and great tour guide!
    We had a great hutong breakfast tour with Evon. She was very knowledgeable about hutong history and the various food stops. She was patient as our group walked and lagged; we had children in our group. All of the food stops were delicious and filling! All were unique. This tour is a MUST if you’re visiting Beijing as a tourist or even if you live here and want to try something new.

    Highly Recommend, would eat again!
    Great tour, professionally organized, and well worth it. Even as a resident, some local foods are a little harder to discover and try, so the guided tour, explanations, and background made a huge difference to being able to experience local Chinese cuisine and some of its culture and history. Lost Plate is super professional, from initial contact, to confirmation, and follow-up; they truly want to help out. We had some questions and they provided immediate feedback. Our guide spoke outstanding English and Chinese, and was very knowledgeable of local history and customs. Her insights made visiting the Hutong a richer experience. Food was great, varied, and there was more than enough to eat, beverages are included if/when you want them, and we were stuffed at the end. We considerably expanded our options for future breakfasts out in town. If you don't discover and learn to eat Chinese food, you are missing a major part of the history, culture, and experience of living in / visiting China, as much ofd the food is delicious, exciting, interesting, diverse, and so, so, so inexpensive. We are currently signed on for the Hutong Dinner Tour and are planning the Four Corners of China Restaurant Tour with Lost Plate as well. Highly Recommend, would eat again!

    Beijing Brekkie Beat
    Hey, how else are you going to get to sample Beijing breakfasts, as consumed by ordinary people, anywhere else? Our tour leader was knowledgable and attentive to our needs. The whole experience was an interesting window on the world of Hutong eats as we watched our various breakfast items being prepared in five different locations. Will now seek out my favourites around where I live, now I have tasted them and know the Mandarin names.

    SO MUCH FOOD!
    My fiance and I went on the breakfast food tour at the end of December. This tour was totally worth the early start and braving the cold weather. There were about 6 stops in total, and each stop was accompanied by a load of background information from our lovely tour guide, Kelly. The food itself was absolutely amazing for the most part. While I'll admit that I didn't find the temple snacks particularly tasty, the history we were given about them was fascinating. We also came home with enough spare food for a late lunch! The location is also great, and it just a short walk away from other tourist stops such as Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Thanks Kelly for a great time!

Great tour, with great food. Every dish was different. And with the small group it was great to share the table. The guide Andy speaks great English and can tell about the food and it’s origins

Can’t recommend this experience enough to anyone visiting Beijing. I went with my partner and we were in a group of 5 with another couple and solo traveller. Our guide (Shitien, sorry i hope I spelt that correctly!) was great at making sure we felt relaxed and all got chatting to each other. We visited four local restaurants, all offering a different Beijing style dish. Shitien explained the history of the dishes and the the areas we visited but kept it fun, informal and relaxed.
The food was incredible, and off the main roads and busy areas so have a true and authentic insight into Chinese good and culture.
We’re absolute foodies, and to be honest struggled in knowing where to go or what to try in Beijing so this tour was perfect to try something we may have otherwise missed out on. Thank you so much 10/10

Our tour guide Licia was so much fun and so nice. She really made the tour feel so cozy and welcoming as if we were hanging out with friends. And her knowledge of the food was wonderful. I could not have asked for a better guide and tour! The restaurant choices were amazing. I absolutely recommend Lost Plate and our tour guide Licia!
