If you are planning a wedding or other major banquet, it’s hard to beat this gorgeous courtyard complex that once belonged to Empress Cixi’s brother. The ambiance is wonderfully tranquil and the food extremely impressive. Unfortunately, service for regular diners is shockingly abrasive, and there's a minimum ¥380 order per person.
The Residence of Duke Gui
Amazing courtyard restaurant with Beijing Duck and Cantonese Cuisine.
Guigongfu is the former residence of Cixi's little brother Duke Gui. Guangxu's wife Longyu was born and lived there until she moved to the Forbidden City.
The place has been well conserved and magnificently renovated. Many rooms with one or few tables are available giving a real impression of imperial life.
Note though that the place is quite hard to find.

Best for Banquets
If you are planning a wedding or other major banquet, it’s hard to beat this gorgeous courtyard complex that once belonged to Empress Cixi’s brother. The ambiance is so tranquil and the food so impressive that we haven’t stopped thinking about it since we attended a friend’s wedding here several months ago. Unfortunately, regular dining is a totally different story. Service is some of the most abrasive we’ve ever experienced, especially outrageous given that the restaurant requires a minimum ¥380 order per person. Many menu items were unavailable, fuwuyuan ran out of the room while we were mid-order, and servers generally acted like they hated us. But if you are banqueting here, or ready to brave the service, let us recommend the fantastic koushuiji (¥48), memorably delicious deep-fried Mandarin fish (¥228) and the great Beijing duck (¥238/whole).
