That's Beijing 2018 Food & Drink Awards: The Winners

By That's Beijing, December 12, 2018

The That’s Beijing 2018 Food & Drink Awards somehow came and went. If you didn’t attend the stylish James Bond-themed party on December 4, it was held at the fabulous Blue Note Beijing. With all the music, swing dance performers and the glitterati of Beijing's best restaurants and cafes, it was definitely a night to remember.

It’s basically our job to know what’s going on in Beijing's food-and-drink world. There was never any doubt in our mind that Beijing is an amazing city for eating and drinking. But now that the 2018 Food & Drink Awards are over and the winners have officially been selected, one thing is very clear... Beijing's food-and-drink scene gets better every year.

Whether you're looking for the best Beijing duck, the best brunch spot or even the best pub grub in town, we've got you covered with the city's best restaurants.
