The taste of the dishes is OK, but there are fewer types of pies than before. There is only one kind of spinach and shrimp that can barely be considered vegetarian. There are no other vegan pies. The meat pies are still OK.
Good taste, elegant environment, and warm service!

It feels very good, the dishes are delicious, very popular, and it is the first in Baoding's popularity list. I think it suits my taste very well. I like the pancake, fish-flavored pork shreds, and braised pork strips. I heard that it has won numerous awards and many celebrities have been here. Thumbs up
It is definitely one of Baoding's famous foods. The other one is donkey meat hot bread. I personally think that the pancake is the beef version of mutton soup steamed bun. This chain has many stores in Baoding and the taste is good.

The Dianli Boat Banquet on Fuxing Road in Baoding is on the second floor. As soon as you take the elevator to the second floor, you will be instantly attracted by the decoration of the store. The whole restaurant is decorated like an antique market, with not only pavilions and towers, but also moored boats, streets, pavilions, bridges and flowing water, Peach Blossom Island, and ginkgo trees. The waiters are all in ancient costumes, and there are various dining areas and private rooms named after ancient song titles, such as Qing Ping Le, Die Lian Hua, etc. There are also dance performances while eating, which is very pleasing to the eye. It really feels like you have arrived in another time and space. Coming here makes you feel like you have become extraordinary.
Before leaving Baoding‼ ️You must come here to try it once|||Dianli Chuanyan also has fried chicken🔥Zibo barbecue!
Those who want to eat barbecue and stir-fry dishes should lock in Dianli Chuanyan~
Recommended dishes:
✅Zibo barbecue: The fragrant and soft small cakes dipped in the dipping sauce and sandwiched with barbecue are so fragrant. There are three kinds of skewers, each of which is fragrant~
✅Beef brisket rolls: The small rolls cover the large pieces of beef brisket, soaked in soup, and the beef is very tender
✅Tea-flavored spicy chicken: There are crispy and crispy small twists inside, and the chicken is a lot of chicken, a big plate
✅Donkey meat crisps: How can you not eat donkey meat when you come to Baoding? The small cakes with crispy outside and soft inside are sandwiched with donkey meat stew, and you can eat three in one meal🥰
——In addition, desserts and drinks were ordered, and the mashed potatoes were very glutinous
‼ ️Address: Dianli Chuanyan Fuxing Road Store
‼ ️Per capita: 50
The environment is famous for its elegance, and there are beautiful ladies dancing classical dance to liven up the atmosphere. The food is good and the experience is good😋

|Fairy Chicken^There are large and small portions. The small portion has 7 pieces. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. In particular, the skin is too crispy. The skin of ordinary crispy chicken is not so crispy. The meat inside is also very tasty. It is a delicacy with both appearance and taste!
|Baiyangdian Stone Pot Fish^The three fish are tender and fresh. Vermicelli is added. The fish soup can also be used to soak cakes. The soup is a little sour and delicious. The vermicelli is especially delicious when soaked in the soup. In the end, the soup, fish, vermicelli and cakes are all finished. It is so refreshing to have a hot pot!
|Baiyangdian Shrimp Lotus Root Cake^Generally, the lotus root box is filled with meat filling. This one is very innovative to put shrimp meat in it. The fragrance of lotus root and the deliciousness of shrimp make it taste great. Moreover, the heat-clearing effect of lotus root and the warming effect of shrimp complement each other. It is nutritious and healthy!
|Bone Residue Meatballs^It feels average and I don’t taste any special features.
| Healthy Vegetables in Claypot^ There are vegetables such as oyster mushrooms, cabbage, spinach, and chrysanthemum. The taste is OK, but as a vegetarian dish, there is a bit too much oil.
Service:
From pouring water while waiting, giving fruits after sitting down, to ordering and paying, the service details are reflected everywhere. The dishes are served quickly. I like the service!

Ants Climbing a Tree, Braised Lion's Head, and Fried Chinese Yam with Black Fungus. There are both meat and vegetables. Two people had three dishes. When we checked out, the bill was over 120 yuan. The price-performance ratio is good. The average consumption per person is about 60 to 70 yuan.
Baoding Yard is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Yuhua West Road and Tangjia Hutong, less than ten minutes' walk from the Zhili Governor-General's Office Museum.
Environment: The overall environment is spacious and clean. The reason for the low score is that someone at the next table was smoking one cigarette after another and no one cared. There were also people smoking at the big table opposite and at the tables in the next row, which affected the dining experience. When the waiter came over, I asked if the restaurant was non-smoking and was told that there was no such rule.
Service: The overall service is good, patient and thoughtful. There are very detailed notes on dietary taboos.
Dishes: The overall dishes are not small.
Bone residue meatballs, 8 yuan each. The taste is a bit crispy, not greasy.
Qianlong cabbage, tender cabbage leaves mixed with sesame sauce.
The old Baoding dish has three kinds of dishes, with more liver and less pork intestines and meat. The side dishes are mainly white fungus and a little black fungus. Tremella is soft and sticky.
The vegetarian three-fresh steamed buns seem to be filled with leeks and eggs. The skin is very thin and the color is beautiful.

Fish-flavored pork shreds are sweet and sour, very smooth, and suitable for rice. Beef pancakes are delicious, salty, and the pancakes are soaked in broth, so the hardness is just right. Governor's tofu is salty and fresh, with shrimp inside. Steamed Artemisia argyi is wrapped in noodles, steamed, and tastes good. The dish is very soft and can be eaten with seasoning.
Environment:
OK
Service:
General, called a waiter to ask about the speed of serving, and the waiter asked to find another waiter
It has been more than ten years since I last had beef pancakes. Erzhaoer means two taels of meat and two taels of pancakes. Erzhaoer beef pancakes are 20 yuan, and shepherd's purse steamed dumplings are 18 yuan.
