Gulou / Beiluoguxiang / Jiugulou Dajie-鼓楼北锣鼓巷旧鼓楼大街

A restaurant situated on Gulou Dongdajie that does lamb spine (羊蝎子 yáng xiē zi) hot pot, as well as arge range of barbecue options. 

Deftly readied yakitori, cozy booths, and an authentic Japanese atmosphere are but a few of the many strengths at this Japanese restaurant.

A traditional courtyard and a terrace with a panoramic view of hutong rooftops all make this Gulou cafe a through and through Beijing gem. Try their imported Japanese Fulgen coffee, which is rich and subtly fruity.

The team behind popular hutong hotel The Orchid try their hand at dim sum with Furongji, serving a mix of classic and creative dishes. However, while the menu and the interior are far from traditional, this is not fusion. As the team says, Furongji isn’t just about slapping different colored skins on the dumplings or adding truffles; it’s about cooking with freedom and fun.

Small hutong café and arts space previously located on Jianchang Hutong that holds regular film screenings and small exhibitions.

The Bulk House is China's first zero-waste store and aims to make the zero-waste lifestyle as convenient as possible for Beijing and the rest of China with a huge selection of reusable, biodegradable, natural, vegan and unpackaged products.

What Tibet's Provincial Government Restaurant lacks in atmosphere it more than makes up for with friendly staff and an adept range of Tibetan staples (we recommend the sponge gourd tips with marinated walnut, stewed lamb with potato, and steamed yak meat dumplings).

Located at Xiang’er Hutong near Gulou, Fat Girl Noodles is a solid Chongqing place for spicy food-lovers, with the popular spicy noodles (wanza mian), spicy braised brain, hongtang ciba (rice cake with brown sugar), spicy intestine, and homemade pickles.
