Maotai-Infused Steak, Cheesy Tacos and More New Food in Beijing

By That's Beijing, September 27, 2022

As the cooler autumn air arrives in Beijing, many would say this is the best season in the Chinese capital. What a great time to get out and try something new on the Jing's buzzing culinary scene! 

Morton's Steakhouse has a creative new take. Its dry-aged Maotai-infused rib eye is certainly not to be missed. 

Meanwhile, there's tacos, tacos and more tacos. 

Q MEX Taqueria's birria tacos include a homemade cheese crust tortilla slathered in birria broth with a rich chilli beef soup for dipping.  

As if that wasn't enough. Pebbles has updated its taco menu. And, for tequila lovers, the agave spirits tasting sessions are back! 

Elsewhere, Georgia's Feast is now offering business set menu lunches – all the usual quality Georgian food packed into a reasonably priced meal set perfect to enjoy during your working day. 

With National Week approaching and, let's face it, many of us staying put in Beijing, maybe now's the time to delve into some new Beijing eateries. 

Happy holidays!
