Description:
Set in a new courtyard-style complex in northwestern Beijing, this nostalgia restaurant is one of the only venues in the city for errenzhuan, a raunchily entertaining style of opera rarely performed outside the frigid northeast. The opera stage sits at one end of the cavernous main hall, decorated in an exaggerated Cultural Revolution-era countryside theme with bright red tables and propaganda-heavy newspapers from the 1960s plastered on the walls. Dishes are large and simple in the northeastern tradition. Good choices are the Dongbei fengwei dapai (Northeast-style braised ribs) and the nongjia xiaochao, an authentically rural combination of soybeans, green onion, Chinese chives, and bell peppers in a clay pot. Combine a stop here with an afternoon visit to the Summer Palace.
