  1. A

    Yǒnghé Fast Food

    Next to the more expensive Yonghe Chinese Food Hall just north of the city wall, this is a handy place for a quick meal. Tick off a form and hand it to the waitress. Try the málà niúròu miàn (麻辣牛肉面; Y12), a spicy steaming bowl of beef noodles and a fried egg (煎蛋; jiāndàn; Y1), or a xiāngjiān cōngyóu bǐng (香煎葱油饼; deep-fried pancake; Y3). Yanjing beer comes by the pint (Y7). Photo menu at the service desk.

  2. B

    Tónghé Dàfàndiàn

    This popular, bright and cheery spot next to the Hongqi Hotel is perfect for a meal before catching the train. Its big round tables may look intimidating, but solo diners can still take a seat; try the Shānxī fried noodles (Y12), the pancake with meat filling (Y3.50), the tasty stir-fried mutton slices with Chinese onion, or the egg soup (Y8).

    With chefs slaving over a huge vat of lamb soup near the door, this very popular restaurant specialises in tasty lamb snacks. A large bowl of dàwǎn ròu (大碗肉; lamb and noodles with onion; Y11) is filling, especially with a tasty yóusū bǐng (油酥饼; fried crisp bread; Y1). Add chilli and vinegar as you see fit. No English sign. The restaurant is around 500m northwest of Children's Park along Liu Xiang.
