Dali Courtyard
67 Xiaojingchang Hutong, Gulou Dong Dajie
Beijing
From the From the May 2008 Food & Wine Go List
Dali's owners, a group of young Chinese art-world types, have stuffed an old courtyard home with contemporary Chinese art and put tables in the quirky little rooms and the lovely central garden. There's no menu here; guests choose a price level and servers bring out plates of modern pan-Asian dishes, like mushrooms roasted in banana leaves and sweet-and-sour dried beef infused with lemon juice. The chefs age the beef by hanging strips of it on trees in the courtyard.
We loved: Eggs scrambled with jasmine tea.
Insider tip: The more people in your group, the greater variety of dishes you'll get to try.
