Location: Beijing, China

Established in 1416

The original Bianyifang was established as a small workshop, which produced duck and chicken dishes in Mishi Hutong, Beijing, China. In 1827, its owner Sun Zijiu extended the business to a bigger restaurant, serving Peking Duck as well as Spanish and French Style Duck Liver. The restaurant still maintains the traditions of Beijing cuisine from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Different from its competitor Quanjude, which serves ducks roasted while hanging in ovens, Bianyifang serves closed-oven style ducks which have a crispy outside and tender inside.
