1949 - Duck de Chine

I visited this restaurant with a friend visiting from another city. Everything was fantastic. I believe you can tell how good service is not by how well they manage things but by how they manage their mistakes. There was a small error on the bill that I pointed out. I thought that I had made a mistake but when they returned with the bill, they told me that they had double-checked and realized that there had in fact been a mistake and rectified it immediately. This has led me to going back several more times as they earned my trust.

It is a famous Cantonese restaurant in Beijing, located on Jinbao Street. It is very low-key. I didn't know it was a restaurant when I passed by it before. The environment is special and very suitable for business banquets. It is a high-end restaurant and has won many awards. The service is very good and you can tell at a glance that they are well-trained. The dishes are very good, the roast duck is very professional, and the special seasoning is great. This set meal is a bit too much for two people, and I will recommend it to my friends.

[Environment] The restaurant is renovated from a palace, with a classical and elegant decoration style, showing a high-end atmosphere everywhere [Service] First-class service, good attitude [Taste] Emperor Duck: The duck skin is thick and crispy, the duck meat is tender and elastic, the meat aroma is accompanied by the aroma of oil, full and rich, and it is perfect with the restaurant's homemade ingredients Golden Soup Quinoa Fish Maw: A very nutritious and healthy soup. In addition to large pieces of fish maw in the golden soup, there are also cooked quinoa like flower buds, which makes people's appetite open.

The environment is super good, and I personally think the roast duck tastes top-notch, but the price is a little expensive, but it doesn't matter, the group purchase price is very affordable, and the quality and quantity of the dishes are not compromised. It's interesting to beat the gong before the roast duck comes. Dadong has already settled in Shanghai, when will 1949 come to Shanghai?

I have to admit that when you come to Beijing, no matter how big you are, you have to experience this charming courtyard hidden in the Jinbao Street where every inch of land is worth a lot of money at the foot of the imperial city. This restaurant adopts a reservation system. It is best for guests to reserve a seat and roast duck in advance, otherwise you will have to watch the roast duck blazing in the kitchen in the glass curtain wall opposite and endure a long wait of more than an hour. Exquisite tableware, exquisite dipping sauce ingredients, delicious roast duck, high fees, not very attentive waiters, pottery figurines in the misty night, and the magnificent lotus gate seem to tell you that this is the best roast duck restaurant in Beijing. I will endure the fame and fortune and exchange it for a light drink. Suddenly, I feel that there are more foreigners than Chinese people patronizing this restaurant, and more business entertainment than family gatherings...

Overall, it is a good restaurant. The environment is grand and the decoration is elegant. The dishes are mainly Cantonese cuisine, and the quality is quite good. The roast duck is especially perfect. However, the service is really a flaw. When making a reservation, the waiter was very careless and laughed while answering the phone. When locating, first agree that the dining time cannot exceed one and a half hours (although no one came to urge in the end, which is also a confusion), and you must provide a group purchase voucher number, which I have never heard of. When arriving at the door, the parking lot staff asked pedestrians to make way for parking, which was also ridiculous. After everyone arrived, they asked to start the dishes twice before they knew it. After starting the dishes, they served the dishes in no order at all. I was really drunk with the posture. I can tolerate a glass of boiled water for ten yuan, but from beginning to end, no one refilled the water and charged 2 yuan (10[%] service charge), which is really unacceptable. Each of the above items is deducted one point, so that this rating level is achieved. The one star in the overall review is completely given to the dishes and environment. Of course, although I have a lot of complaints about the service, because the quality of the dishes is really good, I still have basic expectations for the future of the restaurant. All-Duck Season is a well-known brand, and letting the staff training lag behind is really not worth it.

I have heard about the "1949 Whole Duck Season" hidden in the city. This time, the "Shunweihui" event of Ctrip Food Forest happened to be here, and I enjoyed a rich and beautiful autumn feast with the gourmets. 👏🏻 Braised abalone and shark's fin, signature emperor duck, Maotai drunken crab, egg white Huadiao steamed Alaskan snow crab... Various high-end delicacies appeared on the menu in turn, and they were not polite at all! 😍 Good ingredients with superb cooking skills, delicious and beautiful! The environment of the restaurant is also very good, the new Chinese style is low-key and luxurious, and it is a meal full of happiness.

A Beijing roast duck restaurant with an ancient flavor. I heard that it was a private club before... No wonder it is so unique. Reservations are required. The duck tastes good, the service environment is good, and it is also very close to Tiananmen Square, on the famous Jinbao Street.
