History
Established in 1416, the original Bianyifang used to be a small workshop, which produced duck and chicken food in Mishihutong (????), Caishikou, Beijing. In 1827, its owner Sun Zijiu (???) began to extend its business and established a bigger restaurant, where Peking Duck and Spanish and French Style Duck Liver (????) are its "signature dishes".
Due to the fame of the original Bianyifang, many restaurants named themselves "Bianyifang", among which, Xianyukou Bianyifang (??????) is the one that exists today.
In 1855, Xianyukou Bianyifang was established in Qianmen, Beijing by a Wang family, who hired a chef of the original Bianyifang. The restaurant has carried the Beijing cuisine tradition from the Qing dynasty to its modern-day form.
Bianyifang's main competition has been Quanjude, another restaurant specializing in Peking Duck.
