[2025 Beijing Restaurant] Travel Guide for Siji Minfu Roast Duck (Gugong) (Updated Mar)

I originally took the leisure route to Beijing with my children😜but I still have a few requirements for myself, so the day before going to the Forbidden City, I arranged to go to Four Seasons Minfu (Forbidden City Store) to try my luck! 😝 I go out around 10 o'clock and arrive at the store at 11 o'clock! The number we took was already middle table number 83 (there were 51 tables in front), but the number was called very quickly🤨Many people passed the number! But it stopped around 70 in the first round! 🫠 When I was hesitating to find another restaurant, the manager suddenly said that one of the private rooms was no longer available and I could share a table. At this time, two aunties responded quickly and gave me a small ticket and went in immediately. ✨At this moment, I woke up and told the guy in charge that there were 5 of us! 😱The little brother suddenly said that there is a table in the private room. Can I hand over the table at 12:30? I'll do it right away! I can! ! 🤩 Just like that, it went smoothly, there was no extra charge, and I entered the private room without waiting for more than 10 numbers! The private room environment is much better than the lobby✌🏻️! Although it’s not a view of the Forbidden City, it’s pretty good, and I brought my daughter to eat the roast duck she likes! Still a famous store! Very satisfied! 😚 Since the table had to be returned in less than an hour and a half, I just ordered a set meal for 4 people (4 adults and 1 child). I couldn’t finish it! Also packed the fried rice! Hahaha 🥢The set menu is very cost-effective, and all the dishes are signature items! No need to worry at all! Whole roast duck! There are so many ingredients and there are so many roll wrappers that it’s almost too much to eat! As a Cantonese, I particularly like this soup. It is mellow and fragrant. It is also paired with a small bowl of rice. It is so delicious! 🥄 Belle BBQ 🔥 is served on the iron plate. The roasted meat and the flavor of chives are very delicious! 📍Four Seasons Minfu (Forbidden City Store) # Parent-Child Good Place # Mainland Customs Clearance # foodie #京 #Beijing Roast Duck #Forbidden City #Beijingfood #food #parent-child #parent-child travel #Beijingfeatures #BeijingGood Place #Beijing Food

Today I finally checked in at the recently popular 🔥Si Ji Min Fu Roast Duck Restaurant! To be honest, this store is extremely popular in Beijing. The branch in the city center often requires a queue of 2-4 hours. I decisively chose the store in Cuiwei Shopping Mall which is a little bit out of the way. I went there at around 3 pm and there was no need to queue at all. There was a seat as soon as I entered. I was so lucky! ✨ The decoration of the store is very classy, ​​and the waiter is very considerate. He directly brought a bucket of ice cubes when I asked for it, and the plates were changed very frequently. The experience was really amazing! We came here mainly for the roast duck and ordered a whole duck (259 yuan), which was just right for four people. The duck skin was crispy and the duck meat was tender and juicy, and it was served with side dishes and dough for 6 yuan each (you can refill them as you like). It was absolutely amazing! 🍴We chose the salt and pepper duck rack (25 yuan), which was crispy and tasty, and we couldn’t stop eating it. By the way, we also gave them Ehime jelly orange before the meal, which was sweet and sour and appetizing, so thoughtful! In addition to roast duck, we also ordered little duck (fried jujube paste filling, 36 yuan), grilled sesame cake (12 yuan), soy milk and fried dough ring set (16 yuan) and cleverly mixed bean sprouts (45 yuan). The bean sprouts are refreshing and relieve greasiness, the little duck is cute, the jujube paste filling is sweet but not greasy, the sesame cake is small and crispy. Finally, we added 4 servings of almond honey yogurt (88 yuan), which has a delicate taste and just the right sweetness, a perfect ending! 🍯 There are free water chestnuts, black tea, green tea and snacks at the door. The service is really impeccable! I heard that this restaurant has been recommended by Michelin for two consecutive years, and it really lives up to its reputation. This time, four people spent a total of 417 yuan. We used the new customer discount to reduce the cost by 30 yuan, and then reduced it by another 10 yuan. In the end, we only spent 377 yuan. It’s very cost-effective! 💰 In general, Siji Minfu is a restaurant suitable for family gatherings, banquets or bringing friends from other places to try new things. Even if there are many people, the service is still online. There are so many waiters that you don’t have to worry about being ignored. Next time, I want to try other dishes, such as Liaosheng, which I heard are also very good! 👌 #Beijing Roast Duck #Four Seasons Minfu #Food Exploration #Michelin Recommended #Roast Duck Lover

Best time ever

Mid-Autumn Festival Beijing trip~food edition I took advantage of the long weekend to visit Beijing for three days Tiantan Fuyan: I was lucky to get a seat as soon as I arrived. I had afternoon tea until 7pm. I ordered a few dishes and they were all delicious. I also ordered Kung Pao Chicken (I love the sweet taste) and Beijing Zhajiangmian (the meat cubes were large and similar to those at Fangzhuan Factory. They also gave me Laba garlic) Siji Minfu Gugong Branch: It's really hard to get a seat with a view. The day I went was the Mid-Autumn Festival. The first person to arrive at the restaurant came at 3 or 4 in the morning. I ran to the restaurant at 8:30 and was the 9th in line. They started calling numbers at 9. I was the third small table and was arranged to sit on the 2nd floor. Since they sealed the windows, the view from the 1st floor is better. If you want to go, you must go early. Mengniu has launched Halloween cold drinks and ice cream on Universal Studios Boulevard. Go buy some. The 8th picture is a delicious meat pie I ate at Qianmen. Be careful, it's hot (there's a pie shop next door and I almost went to the wrong one) Sanyuan Meiyuan: It's located on a street in Guozijian, opposite Yonghegong. It's quite delicious. It was so popular that day that many items were sold out. The double-layer milk custard is good. Beijing Wildlife Park Red Panda Cafe: The happiest part of this trip was seeing and touching the red pandas. The cafe is right at the entrance of the red panda pavilion. I highly recommend the mulberry drink. It

We went here as a group, there were 5 of including a friend from Beijing. I had been trying the Pekin duck in places and it always tasted good. But this was another level. I found it helpful that there was a local friend who had us try many new dishes as well. The menu was in english too with photos. The highlight was the Pekin duck with all it's side dishes. They are very popular as a restaurant and even though we arrived well before the opening for dinner. We still had to wait half an hour for a table. It fills up rather quickly. The prices are not your everyday backpacker meal. But when in beijing and you wish to try the most popular dish at a good spot. This will be the place to do so. #chinatrip #Beijing #cherryblossom2024 #pekinduck #summerdestinations #100waysoftravel #china_diaries
