Bai Jia Restaurant 白家大院

Bai Jia 白家大院 is more than a restaurant, it is like going back in time to the Qing Dynasty and dining as an aristocrat would. Definately two-tumbs up!

15 Suzhou Jie, Haidian, Beijing
苏州街15号,海淀区

From the Bai Jia gate, we were greeted by walked down this beautiful lantern-lined alley - really good way to set the atmosphere - which opens up to an inner courtyard garden with tables both inside and outside.


All the staff are dressed in constume - men dressed as eunuchs deliver food to the tables which is then served by waitresses (our waitress pictured here). Service was very attentive. There is also great entertainment during the meal including singing and mask changing 變臉 (very impressive, quite an amazing talent these guys have).


Food is imperial style Beijing food. Very tasty and beautiful to look at. Here we have some sweet and sour fish. The food was more expensive than most Beijing restaurants but still cheaper than the average HK restaurant. About 200 RMB per person.


This is a tofu hamburger


Here is the waitress who took our order.
