Beijing, as the capital of China, receives a large number of tourists every year for sightseeing. One of the important items of tourism is of course food, but many foodies say that although there are many food dishes in Beijing, there are not many authentic delicacies, and most of them are deceived by foreign tourists. It is true that the snacks in some Internet celebrity snack streets in Beijing are indeed very unsophisticated. But the food in some places in Beijing is still very authentic. Outsiders don't know it. Only local old Beijingers know which places have real restaurants. What are these delicious local restaurants?

Roast Duck

As the first representative of Beijing cuisine, going to Beijing to eat an authentic Beijing roast duck is a must-have item for every tourist. Among Beijing roast ducks, the most famous roast duck restaurant is naturally Quanjude. However, recently, Quanjude seems to be no longer worthy of its fame. As these problems emerge, which roast duck restaurants can we choose?

When the editor traveled to Beijing, a Beijing uncle told me that Quanjude was a scam for tourists. Real Beijingers will never go there to eat roast duck. Compared with Quanjude, roast duck restaurants such as Dadong Roast Duck, Bianyifang, Siji Minfu, Beiping Restaurant, and Liqun are better choices. The taste is not inferior to Quanjude, or even better. At the same time, the price is reasonable and the service is enthusiastic, which is much better than Quanjude.

Zhajiang Noodles

Besides roast duck, perhaps the second most famous delicacy in Beijing is Zhajiang Noodles. There are shops selling fried noodles all over the country, but if you want to eat authentic fried noodles, you have to come to Beijing. There are Zhajiang Noodle restaurants everywhere in Beijing, including high-end stores and ordinary noodle restaurants. Choosing a Zhajiang Noodle restaurant with a reasonable price and authentic taste is the correct way to eat Zhajiang Noodles.

A few years ago, there was a very popular post about fried noodles on the Internet. That is, a bowl of fried noodles in a Beijing fried noodles shop costs more than 200 yuan, and the side menu is fried in soy sauce. It's also very bad, not to mention the taste is terrible. We must avoid this kind of restaurant. For Beijingers, fried sauce noodle restaurants such as Haiwanju and Fangzhuanchang are very good, and foreign tourists can also try them.

Zhizi Barbeque

If you go to Beijing during the winter vacation, don’t regret the bare mountains and gray sky, because compared to the scenery, it’s better to go in winter Eating a Zhizi barbecue in Beijing is a real enjoyment. The reason why it is called Zhizi Barbecue is because the barbecue tool is Zhizi, and fruit wood is used as fuel. Barbecue is done by one's own hands, and the meat can be eaten in big mouthfuls, which can make you sweat in the winter.

There are two ways to eat Zhizi barbecue, one is Wen eating and the other is Wu eating. Wen Chi means that the chef grills the meat and then serves it on a plate and eats it in the room; while Wu Chi means that you sit around the stove and eat while roasting. There are two famous Zhizi BBQ restaurants in Beijing, BBQ Wan and BBQ Ji. Both of them are famous, and the taste and dining experience are also very good. You can experience the truly bold way of eating Zhizi BBQ.

Shabu-shabu mutton

In addition to barbecue, hot-pot mutton is also a delicious meal that cannot be missed in Beijing. The pot used to cook mutton is a copper pot, which is simple and elegant, and can make people feel the rich heritage of the capital city. The soup base for mutton shabu-shabu is very light, basically just water with green onion and ginger segments, but this can reflect the tenderness of the mutton. If the mutton is not fresh enough, it will have a smell when cooked in this clear soup pot. The soup base will become richer and more fragrant as more mutton is cooked, and the more you eat it, the more flavorful it will be.

In addition to the tender and delicious mutton, the editor also likes the dipping sauce of Old Beijing Shabu-Shabu Lamb. Seasonings such as sesame paste, fermented bean curd soup, salt, sugar, chive flowers, and oyster sauce are mixed together, and the taste seems to be sublimated. The freshly cooked mutton slices are dipped in a layer of sesame sauce, and they literally explode in your mouth, with all kinds of aromas bursting out. For mutton-shabu-shabu restaurants, choose a restaurant with a long history, such as Jubaoyuan, Donglaishun, Fumanlou, and Dade, which are popular hot pot restaurants. You will not be disappointed.

After seeing these Beijing delicacies, do you feel very greedy? The next time you travel to Beijing, you won’t worry about the time-honored restaurants all over the streets, and don’t eat in the restaurants next to the scenic spots. Otherwise, you will only feel expensive and heartbroken, and you won’t be able to taste the authentic old Beijing. gourmet food.
