Fangzhuang Catering Street

　　Fangzhuang Catering Street is a large-scale and high-end dining street that has spontaneously emerged in recent years, following Dongzhimen’s “Ghost Street.” It is characterized by a wide range of cuisine styles, diverse consumer choices, broad affordability, and suitability for family and group dining. There are nearly 30 catering establishments, two-thirds of which are concentrated along the 500-meter stretch on the eastern side of Pufang Road. From east to west, these include: Fangzhuang Shunfeng Seafood Restaurant, a national top-grade restaurant serving Cantonese and seafood dishes; Beijing Hongxi Daqinghua Dumpling House, offering Manchu-style cuisine; Nature Northeast Restaurant, serving northeastern Chinese dishes; Luoluo Sour Soup Fish Restaurant, featuring Guizhou flavors; Fangzhuang Du Yifu, a time-honored establishment serving Beijing and Shandong cuisines; Shunyifu Restaurant, offering modern Huaiyang and Chaozhou dishes; Jinshancheng Chongqing Restaurant, a national top-grade restaurant specializing in Sichuan cuisine; McDonald’s, serving Western fast food; Baoshan Flavor Tower, offering Hangzhou cuisine; Jinhanxi Catering Company, serving South American grilled meats and self-brewed beer; Tongliyuan Restaurant, offering Peking duck and home-style dishes; Yoshinoya Fangzhuang Branch, serving Japanese fast food; Landgraf Catering Company, a national top-grade restaurant serving German cuisine and imported German beers; Gangji Restaurant, offering Cantonese and seafood dishes; Fangzhuang Xiaotudou Food City, serving northeastern Chinese home-style dishes; Jindingxuan Restaurant, a national top-grade restaurant offering Cantonese home-style, Sichuan, and Huaiyang dishes; and Xingyuan Restaurant, known for its congee series. Further west along Pufang Road are: Yiwu Ju Old Beijing Zhajiangmian, serving Beijing home-style dishes; Fangzhuang Sanqianli BBQ, offering Korean cuisine and barbecue; Yuxiangyuan Fangzhuang Flagship Store, a national first-grade restaurant serving beef hotpot and Korean barbecue; and Pizza Hut Fangzhuang Branch, serving Western-style pizza. These dining establishments together form the Fangzhuang Food Street.

　　This food street can be regarded as the flagship of Fangzhuang’s catering industry. Extending to Fangguyuan, Fangchengyuan, Fangqunyuan, and Fangxingyuan are dozens of restaurants with distinct flavors, creating a network of culinary offerings that complements the main street—like a constellation surrounding the moon.

　　How to get there? By bus, take routes 51 or 812 and get off at Fangchengyuan Station. By subway, take Line 5 and exit at Puhuangyu Station, then walk east for 500 meters. For drivers, parking is available in the lot across the street, though you may need to wait in line during peak hours.
