Lonely Planet review for Qianmen Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant

As fundamental as a visit to the Great Wall, the sampling of Peking duck is an absolute must for any visitor to the capital. The most popular branch of Běijīng’s most famous destination for duck – check out the photos of everyone from Fidel Castro to Zhang Yimou – this place is geared to the tourist hordes (both domestic and foreign). A consequence of the crowds is that service can be peremptory, while the huge, two-floor venue lacks atmosphere. But the duck, while not the best in town, is pretty good, and roasted in ovens fired by fruit-tree wood. That means the birds have a unique fragrance, as well as being juicy, if slightly fatty. Remember that you’ll pay extra for all the trimmings. There’s a slightly less frenetic branch just off Wangfujing Dajie. Book ahead, or get your duck to go at the booth outside (vacuum-packed duck Y108; vacuum-packed pancakes Y15; sauce Y1).

    The taste is good and the place is convenient to find

    smallsmile recommends this,

    Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant has a long history, and now it has been a chain body.So it has a good word-of-mouth. Mybe because of that reason, it's a little expensive.
    But don't worry, I'm sure you can eat the good taste roast duck here.
    "Very fragrant skin roast duck and that's absolutely crisp, by using well placed onion sauce roll up the pancake."
    If you don't have too much time to find a better place or have a Beijing friend to eat duck,you'd better come here to try the kind of Chinese delicious food.
    The Qianmen Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant is near the city center.It's convenient to find.
