Dali Courtyard is a beloved hutong restaurant serving Yunnan cuisine in a beautifully restored traditional courtyard — no menu, just a set multi-course meal that changes daily based on market ingredients. The food is fresh, herbaceous, and genuinely delicious, with dishes like goat cheese, wild mushrooms, and flower salads. Reservations are essential and the fixed-price format means you surrender control, but that's part of the charm.
