Wutengzhai Restaurant and Bar 无腾斎

Specializing in Hunan Cuisine, Wutengzhai is a small, hidden gem in Qilinbei hutong. With Lonely Planet travel books and other magazines strewn across their bookshelves, the restaurant has an eclectic but pleasant atmosphere. Wutengzhai earned five stars on dianping.com, in which reviewers recommend the sour ginger fish (紫姜鱼), a Hunan specialty. Another dish that comes highly recommended is the paper pot fried string beans (干煸四季豆).
