Best Beijing Duck: Beijing's most famous dish is available at dozens of locations, but nowhere is it as crisp and fine as at Beijing Dadong Kaoya Dian, just east of the San Li Tun drinking district on the East Third Ring Road.

Best Sichuan: The use of fertilizer and hormones in Chinese produce has dulled the flavor of many raw ingredients, so locals have turned to the fiery food of Sichuan to provide their culinary kicks. At Mala Youhuo, in the south of town, you'll have to wait for a table every night of the week; such is the draw of their heavenly spices.

Best Cantonese: Horizon, inside the Kerry Centre Hotel, serves nicely executed upscale Cantonese food and high-quality dim sum in a luxurious setting at less-than-luxurious prices. The raucous Otto's Restaurant offers for-the-people southern dishes, rarely found outside Guangdong, Hong Kong, and the largest of U.S. Chinatowns.

Best Hot Pot: Searingly spicy Sichuan-style hot pot in an unusually classy setting can be found at the immensely popular Huangcheng Lao Ma. Out of the way but well worth the trip, Taipo Tianfu Shanzhen features a mouthwatering broth made from 32 kinds of mushrooms and a whole black-skinned chicken -- the city's most delicious do-it-yourself dining experience.

Best Noodles: Available in dozens of shapes and sauces, Shanxi-style noodles at the fashionable and aptly named Noodle Loft are among the most satisfying in Beijing, and without the crimes of hygiene perpetrated by the more typical noodle joints.

Best Karma (Vegetarian): A favorite among Buddhist monks, clean and bright Baihe Sushi serves food to match its decor: mushrooms and tofu masquerading as meat, light and flavorful vegetables. No animals anywhere, but you won't miss them. No smoking either.

Best European: Aria is one of the capital's most thoroughly satisfying dining experiences, from amuse-bouche to dessert. More than one visit may be necessary to do justice to a menu of thoroughly intelligent yet understated dishes, served with helpful suggestions for accompanying wines in very comfortable and relaxingly woody surroundings. The unassuming Belgian restaurant Morel's, once considered the greatest Western eatery in Beijing, is your best source of waffles, steak, beef stew, and beer.
