Celebrated for its innovative take on classic dishes, this Michelin-starred restaurant is a must-visit for food enthusiasts craving both authenticity and creativity in Chinese cuisine.
Starters
Begin your dining experience with a selection of delicate starters that showcase Shijiu's mastery of balance and texture.

For those seeking bold flavors, the Hairtail seasoned with balsamic vinegar tantalizes the palate with its tangy, aromatic finish, garnished with white sesame and fresh cilantro.
Mains
The mains at Shijiu are a celebration of Beijing's rich culinary heritage elevated by modern techniques. The legendary Peking Duck is presented with a golden, crispy skin and succulent meat, offering three distinctive preparations: paired with luxurious caviar, wrapped in hawthorn and scallion rolls, or served as crispy fried salt and pepper duck rack. The Braised Pig's Feet is tender and richly flavored, slow-cooked to perfection. For a lighter yet flavorful option, the Stir-Fried Chinese Cabbage with Prawn combines fresh greens and juicy prawns in a harmonious stir-fry.
Desserts

The Foie Gras with Hawthorn offers a luxurious fusion of richness and tartness, wrapped in delicate hawthorn slices. The Candied Durian is a sweet, indulgent treat for adventurous palates, while the Wandouhuang, a mung bean cake with dried persimmon, provides a subtly sweet and refreshing finish to your dining experience.
Drink Selection and Specials
Shijiu complements its menu with a carefully curated range of beverages, including fine beers that pair beautifully with the savory dishes. While live music is absent, the inviting ambiance and attentive service create an atmosphere perfect for both intimate dinners and lively group gatherings. Seasonal specials like the Winter Tonic Black-Bone Chicken Soup, infused with fresh ginseng and premium herbs, offer nourishing comfort during colder months.
