OK, I've only been to one of these (#9, and on a lunch special -- pasta was excellent and the rest was good).
The list, however, is rather eclectic, as these things always are. Any random steakhouse will cost >>$100/ head if you order an expensive imported steak, as will dinner at any number of 'international' restaurants.
And there are plenty of Chinese restaurants that can be equally expensive if one orders luxury ingredients. $100pp for hotpot, however, is impressive!

Quite sure this is not right. Maybe it can be called a list of 10 expensive restaurants in Beijing but not the "10 most expensive". $68 p.p. making the list? Easy to add to this list.
Also, whoever wrote this is clearly a foreigner on an expense account hanging out with other foreigners as I see no high-end Chinese restaurants on this list. The authors need to explore more and get out of Chaoyang.

I actually have no clue what business dinners in Beijing cost pp.
I will message Handle about the Capital M photo and report back after he replies.
