What there’s more?
The choice of food doesn’t stop there. For those of you who want to sit down and enjoy a nice relaxing meal, Beijing can accommodate. For a traditional Chinese restaurant cuisine, the Quanjude is a vital food stopping point.
Here you will be able to try the exquisite speciality of Beijing; Peking duck. The restaurant seats a cool 2000 people and has been operating since 1852, making it a true golden oldie. The hustle and bustle coupled with the chef carving at your table makes it a must for anyone visiting Beijing. The range of food served in Beijing goes onto the Vineyard Cafe where all you home sick individuals will be of able to order a traditional western dish. Pizza, burgers, fries; the Vineyard cafe has it all, and at a very competitive price

My personal recommendation is to leave not leave this beautiful city without tasting the Peking duck, after having it you will have no qualms as to why it is defined as the speciality dish in Beijing.
