仿膳飯莊
北海公園瓊島北岸
This restaurant has a history of 90 years. It is separated into 3 different parts, with at least 12 rooms. Below is a brief encounter of its history:
1925年，北京北海公園正式開放，原在清宮御膳房御廚趙仁齋、孫紹然、王玉山、趙承壽等人，在北海公園開設仿膳茶社，照御膳房製作方法。1955年，仿膳改為國營，更名為「仿膳飯莊」。1966~1977年，北海公園停止開放，這段時間，仿膳成為黨和國家領導人會見外賓、處理政務的場所。1978年，重新開放對外營業。
為了不斷挖掘開發宮廷名菜，仿膳派人多次前往故宮博物院，在御膳檔案中整理出乾隆、光緒年間的數百種菜肴，2011年「仿膳（清廷御膳）製作技藝」被列入國家級非物質文化遺產保護名錄。清廷御膳的主要菜肴約有800餘種，仿膳飯莊推出了「滿漢全席精選菜單」，使賓客一餐就領略滿漢全席特色。
From this, you can understand how authentic and serious this restaurant is towards preparing imperial food and banquets. If you order a banquet from here, you are able to experience sitting on an imperial chair and be an emperor yourself.
王府井小吃街
This is an eating street which visitors to Beijing must go. It includes all local Beijing food. Some are really nice food, like charcoal grilled lamp chop, fried Beijing dumplings, old Beijing noodles, etc. However, some are really local and some expatraites may not be able to stand - like fried sea stars, fried catepillars etc. Neverthelss, a place you must go !!!
大董 (Dadong)
This is a famous restaurant in Beijing serving roasted Peking duck. The ducks are roasted in woodfire in the middle of a restaurant and served in very thin sliced Chinese pancake. Other foods served in the restaurant are also very good. Highly recommended if you are a Peking duck fans.
桂公府
北京市東城區朝內南小街芳嘉園胡同11號
This is the residence of 桂公爺, 慈禧之弟，and is also the birth place of 隆裕皇后 (光绪爺之后)。Most of the residence has maintained the previous shape and to make it even better, there is a tour guide who will lead tours around this residence whilst you are waiting for your food. Most rooms have been transformed to seats for the restaurants except for the room where the queen was born. The original style and shape was maintained. Food served in this residence/ restaurant are palace type food and it's marvellous. A place I will visit again and again.
格格府 [Closed]
This is one of my most favourite restuarant in Beijing. Unfortunately, it's closed now, but I still would like to briefly introduce here in my own website.
This restaurant situates in a Manchu Princess residence. The latter part (including the Princess study room, bedroom and garden) had maintained the residence at its previous state. The front part of the residence (i.e. living room, dining room, etc) has been transformed into a restuarant, serving Palace type food.
When you walked in the restaurant, you will be greeted with 2 rows of waitress all dressed in Manuchu maid's clothes. Around 7pm, a lady dressed in Manchu princess will walk into the middle of the living room, playing music with Manchu dancers.
The food is also superb !!! I hope this place will be reopened.
