A pitched-roof skylight fills the minimalist dining room with natural light, and the handpicked ceramics suggest you're somewhere that has thought carefully about everything. Lamdre is a fine-dining vegan restaurant in Sanlitun holding two Michelin stars and a spot on Asia's 50 Best list, where a seasonally changing menu draws on China's regional traditions and the chef's research trips into the country's lesser-known ingredients. The name comes from Tibetan Buddhism, which tells you the vibe isn't purely culinary.

Rank 4. King's Joy
Vegetarian Chinese
Tucked into a hutong near the Lama Temple, this serene fine-dining restaurant holds two Michelin stars and makes a serious case for vegetarian cooking without leaning on the word "vegetarian" as the point. Chinese classics get quietly disassembled and rebuilt using techniques borrowed from both sides of the world. The menu rotates every two weeks, so regulars keep coming back, which they do.

Rank 4. The House of Dynasties
Cantonese
Seven private dining rooms, each named after a Chinese dynasty, ring the main hall at this Cantonese restaurant on the fourth floor of Rosewood Beijing. The kitchen holds a Michelin star and runs on a philosophy of restraint, letting the ingredient lead rather than the technique. The pastry course, a molten jackfruit number the chef has been refining for years, tends to stay with people.

Rank 10. Mansion Cuisine by Jingyan
Modern Beijing
A restored courtyard mansion in a Beijing hutong, with high ceilings and a view that shifts through the seasons. This is a Michelin-starred dining room built around traditional Beijing cooking given a careful modern rethink. The Peking duck, fired over jujube wood and served three ways, is the anchor, but the kitchen ranges further than that. Beijing-themed cocktails round out a meal that takes the city's culinary past seriously without turning it into a museum.

Rank 30. Chef 1996
Sichuan
Pork sliced thin enough to hold up to the light is the calling card here, a modern Sichuan restaurant in Chaoyang where the chef, a native of Emei, treats the cuisine's famously layered heat as a palette rather than a blunt instrument. The room draws a crowd that takes its Sichuan seriously, and the kitchen obliges with food that is fiery and precise in equal measure. It holds a spot in the Michelin Guide.
