Quanjude is a young brand compared with Cheap Fang, founded in 1864 (the third year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty). "Hanging oven roasting method" from the Qing palace "Bao Ha Bureau", at the latest in the Qianlong period has come out, when the whole Jude was the earliest gift of the roast duck Master Sun, was born in the "Bao Ha Bureau", the Qing Emperor abdicated the throne after serving in the Jinhua Pavilion in charge of the furnace. In 1993, China Beijing Quanjude Group was established, and in 2007, "Quanjude" was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and the operating income of the group company increased from 916 million yuan in 2007 to 1.847 billion yuan in 2016 in the past ten years. If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and it is a pity not to eat Quanjude - Quanjude in the roast duck industry is equivalent to Donglaishun in the mutton shabu industry, and it is an old benchmark in the industry. For more than 100 years, Quanjude has been the leader in the industry, with "whole duck seats" and more than 400 special duck dishes, and a complete one-stop system from duck farms to chef training schools. Premier Zhou has repeatedly selected Quanjude's duck dishes as state banquets. Although Quanjude has been complained by gourmets inside and outside the circle in recent years, and its status in the roast duck industry has been shaken, its roast duck still has distinctive characteristics and stable standards. The cheap roast duck restaurants on the street generally use lake duck, and the "hanging oven" roasting method is basically adopted, if the meat fiber is thick and dry, it is basically a lake duck. High-end roast duck restaurants will choose to stuff the duck, Quanjude has its own duck farm, all choose the self-operated duck farm of the duck stuffing, the so-called stuffing, is to plug the duck with a feeding tube, with the method of feeding the duck to raise the duck, so that the duck will quickly accumulate fat, the roasted duck meat is tender. When slicing ducks, Quanjude's master is quite fast, and often pulls down the duck meat and the skeleton at the last step, and the final duck frame looks particularly mottled and does not look good. And the Quanjude roast duck does not pay attention to the presentation at all, and the display on the plate is extremely messy. If you value plating, you might as well order an upgraded version of the "Shengshi Peony" - it has entertained VIPs from various countries at the APEC meeting, and the presentation is very distinctive: the roast duck is sliced and arranged in the shape of peony flowers, and each duck has its own ID code, which customers can keep as a souvenir. But judging from the taste of the duck, Shengshi Peony is not much higher than the ordinary Quanjude boutique roast duck, and it costs dozens of yuan more just to take a good-looking photo. Quanjude roast duck is roasted in an open oven, and the duck is crispy and delicious, but it cannot reach the realm of melting in the mouth. The overall taste is salty and fragrant, the duck is fatter, and more middle-aged and elderly people are more accepting of this taste. Taking Heping Store as an example, the level of its duck skin is also top-notch and prominent in the Beijing roast duck restaurant, with a lot of sesame oil flavor and delicate oil, and a fresh taste with sugar. Both Cheap Square and Quanjude retain a very traditional state-run restaurant style, and the whole dining experience is not "exquisite", especially the service has many minefields. Like the bargain, Quanjude also has the problem of uneven level of branches, and even the level of roast duck in the hall and private room of a store cannot be guaranteed. The hall of Quanjude charges 10% service fee, but the quality of the service staff is average, even if it is booked, it needs to be served together, and the table cannot be occupied. During the meal, you will also be urged by the waiter, and the experience is terrible. When ordering, roast duck implies a lot of hidden consumption: lotus leaf cake is 14 yuan per plate by default, but in fact, half a roast duck with a plate of noodles is enough. The sauce for 3 yuan per person only includes garlic and sugar, and even cucumbers are charged extra, which is suspected of being a bully by the store. And when slicing the duck, if you don't tell the master to slice all the meat in advance, the master will leave a lot of meat on the shelf, which is quite slippery. Although the duck soup is processed for free, the taste is bland, and the taste is tantamount to clear soup, so it is recommended to add 30 yuan to eat the salt and pepper duck rack. If there are only 2-3 people in the dining, you can order half a roast duck. Due to the long-term reception of tourists, Quanjude's roast duck is not roasted on order, and when it is cold and sits at the door, the dish is quickly cold, and the taste of the dough is not warm enough, and there is no device for warming. And the sweet noodle sauce has a dry and salty taste, which is quite disappointing. On the whole, the once prosperous state of Quanjude is no longer at the peak level of roast duck restaurants, and it has a strong opponent in terms of pursuit of refinement and cost performance. Some franchise stores in Quanjude have also launched buffets and fast-food roast duck, the taste is not flattering, and it is recommended to take a detour. In Beijing, Qianmenmen, Hepingmen, Wangfujing store are all stores with a relatively long history, if you admire the fame of Quanjude, or invite friends from other places, please look for Hepingmen main store; If the geographical location is limited, the Qianmen store and Wangfujing store are also good, which can reduce the probability of stepping on mines. In addition to these three stores, Quanjude, this list is not recommended.
