Wandering around Shijingshan: Shougang Canteen

2023-06-30

Shougang Canteen, formerly known as Coking Canteen, was the most iconic canteen during the heyday of Shougang. Today, the Shougang Canteen, which carries the memories of Shougang workers, has been transformed into a casual space serving Western food and barbecue. This restaurant serves fusion cuisine with western food as its specialty. It also creates a set meal with Shougang's characteristics, called the Tea Mug Set. This set meal is served in a vintage enameled iron lunch box used by the old workers. There is also Shougang Soda which is an old memory of Shougang people in this set!

As soon as you step into the restaurant, you can't help but raise your phone to take pictures. The industrial environment here is unique. Bronze-colored pipes run through the ceiling in the shape of "1919", the year Shougang was founded. The graffiti paintings on the wall show the steel blast furnace, making you feel like you are in the hot steel-making scene. The Shougang Big Air and the new Shougang Bridge are also painted on the wall, showing the dramatic changes in the new Shougang area in recent years. The old factory structure is preserved. Together with the newly built hollow concrete decorative panels, the rugged industrial style and the fashionable architectural style mingle here.

It is understood that it was once the most iconic canteen in the heyday of Shougang. It used to provide three meals a day and night shift meals, making it a memory of several generations of Shougang workers. The building was built in 1974 as the staff canteen of the Shougang Coking Plant. And after the relocation and restructuring of Shougang in 2010, the canteen has returned to silence from the hustle and bustle. According to the overall planning of Shougang Park, it has been transformed into a representative project of the food service guarantee of the park. As there are fewer quality western restaurants in western Beijing, and the industrial style is better coordinated with western food, Shougang Canteen mainly focuses on western food. At the same time, taking into account the catering needs of the resident enterprises and the service and security personnel of the park, the restaurant has added Chinese food service.

In this restaurant, customers can enjoy the latest Shougang meals at one time. The restaurant serves the recently relaunched glass bottle of orange Shougang Soda, which allows Shougang people to find the taste in their memories. Shijingshan Mineral Water and "Flavor Shougang" sparkling water have also been popular with people.

Warm tip: During the epidemic period, please inquire in advance whether the restaurant is open before traveling.
