Chinese aristocrat cuisine (Chinese: 官府菜) traces its origin to the Ming and Qing dynasties when the Imperial officials stationed in Beijing brought their private chefs and such different variety of culinary styles mixed and developed overtime and formed a unique breed of its own, and thus the Chinese aristocrat cuisine is often called private cuisine. The current Chinese aristocrat cuisine is a mixture of Shandong cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine and Cantonese cuisine. The most famous Chinese aristocrat cuisine is the Cuisine of the family of Tan (Chinese: 谭家菜), which is characterized by its elaborate work, softness, freshness, and pleasing taste/flavor. The cuisine is currently served at Beijing Hotel.
