Title: 'Orginal' Peking Duck restaurant ?
Post by: daghoi on August 30, 2014, 10:38:51 am

Hi !

I do not post here often anymore, and this time it is quite a long shot...

Some years ago i was at this excellent 'peking duck' in Beijing, with a Chinese lady. This was supposed to be old and 'the best' place to eat duck. Now my wife is going to Beijing with some friends and I want to recommend them this place, but after 4-5 years I have no idea what the place is called. It was not that far from Coal Hill, I remember i took a cycle taxi ( manual cycle) from there. The interior of the restaurant was nice an moderen, but with few western people. At least at the time. I also belive it was a famous chef and/or owner.

Can anyone of the old timers give me some suggestions ? Tried to Google and see what I come up with, but no luck so far.

Here is 3 highly recommended choices.

1.Quan Ju De Roast Duck Restaurant(Wangfujing Branch) established around 1864
2.Da Dong Roast Duck(face to Great Dragon Hotel)
3.Bian Yi Fang Roast Duck Restaurant(1 floor of Hademen Hotel,Chongwenmen Subway station)

Here is where I got these from; http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g294212-i2147-k1849148-The_best_Peking_Duck_Restaurant_in_Beijing-Beijing.html

Good luck with your duck hunt! :)

Hi

Thanks for taking  the time to answer. I know it was a vague question, but I wanted to give it a shot. I look into these and see if it is one of them.

Robert's Number 1 is a good place. I have actually eaten there. Nice place to eat. They give you a little card with your meal it will tell you. How many Ducks they have cooked. And gives you a little history of the restraunt.
