Top 8 Peking Duck Restaurants in Beijing locals like to go
Beijing Duck is always on the list of those people who come to visit Beijing. The Beijing duck is the most famous dish you should have on your Beijing trip, but since there are so many duck restaurants, which one is your best choice? This post is feedback from the top Duck Restaurant in Beijing. ( The grades I use are from the most popular review website, Dazhongdianping, which is similar to Yelp)
No.1 Quanjude 全聚德–Best Traditional Duck Restaurant
Flavor: Rating 4.14★★★★✰
Environment: Rating 4.25 ★★★★✰
Service: Rating 4.02★★★★✰
Price: 200RMB per person
Type: Chain
Impression:
Quanjude is the oldest and most famous Duck restaurant in Beijing. The quick improvement makes it hard to match its old reputation. Especially some of their new chain restaurants are just average. But some old restaurants are super traditional and excellent, such as the ones in Qianmen and Hepingmen.
Recommend: Qianmen Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant 全聚德前门店
Address: 32 Qianmen Dajie, Beijing, China
Open time: 11:30-13:30/16:30-21:00 Tel: +86 10 6511 2418
No.2 Dadong 大董–Best Westernized Duck Restaurant
Flavor: Rating 4.1★★★★✰
Environment: Rating 4.25 ★★★★✰
Service: Rating 3.9★★★★✰
Price: 340RMB per person
Type: Chain
Impression:
This is a new Chain of Beijing Duck, which has improved very well. All their restaurant environment are very nice and different. It is busy at the weekend; sometimes you must wait 2 hours, so it is better to make a reservation first.
Plenty of them are near Wangfujing, which may be very close to your hotel. The service rating is low because the price is expensive; people expect better service. All their Duck restaurants are at a similar level.
Recommend: Dadong Roast Duck (Nanxincang)
Open time: 11:00 – 21:00
Address:1-2 Nanxincang Guoji Dasha, 22A Dongsishitiao, Dongcheng District, Beijing 100007, China Tel: +86 10 5169 0329
No.3 Liqun 利群烤鸭 –Family run Duck restaurant in a Nice Hutong area
Flavor: Rating 3.8★★★★✰
Environment: Rating 3.0 ★★★✰✰
Service: Rating 3.0★★★✰✰
Price: 170RMB per person
Type: Family Restaurant
Impression:
The place has nothing fancy, but that’s why people like it. Different from other restaurants, Liqun has kept its style for a long time. You will feel yourself returning to the 1990th (Not the price, haha). The duck is excellent, and the neighborhood is super nice for travelers. But sometimes you may not feel Western standards clean.
Address: No 11 Beixiangfeng, Zhengyi Rd | Qianmendong St, Beijing, China
Open time: 11:00-21:00 Tel: +86 10 67055578
No.4 Bianyifang 便宜坊– A different flavor of Peking Duck
Flavor: Rating 4.1 ★★★★✰
Environment: Rating 4.2 ★★★★✰
Service: Rating 4.2 ★★★★✰
Price: 150 RMB per person
Type: Chain
Impression:
Bianyifang is a restaurant even older than Quanjude. The difference from other restaurants is the way they use fire. Bianyifang closes the oven uses the Charcoal heat and the heat from the walls to cook the duck, while others use real fire to roast it. So, the Bianyifang duck is more tender and fat.
Address: QianMen DaJie DongCe Xian YuKou 65Hao 71Hao, Beijing, China

No.5 Sijimingfu 四季民福
Flavor: Rating 4.9 ★★★★★
Environment: Rating 4.9 ★★★★★
Service: Rating 4.9 ★★★★★
Price: 160 RMB per person
Type: Chain
Impression:
This is a restaurant focused on Beijing food. All the restaurants are decorated in ancient Beijing style. The flavor of the duck is similar, but compared with the price and service, it has the best value. I would highly recommend you go to the one near the Forbidden City. You can enjoy the Forbidden City view when you eat, which is rare in Beijing.
Recommend: Siji Minfu Roast Duck (Gugong)
Address: No.11 Nanchizi Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, China
Open time: 11:30-21:00 Tel: +86 10 6526 7369
No.6 Duck King 鸭王
Flavor: Rating 4.0 ★★★★✰
Environment: Rating 4.0 ★★★★✰
Service: Rating 3.6 ★★★✰✰
Price: 100 RMB per person
Type: Chain
Impression:
The duck king is also a chain for Peking duck. Most of their restaurants are not in the middle of the city, making its a bit cheaper than other chains. But the duck flavor is delicious.
Recommend: Duck King Roast Duck Restaurant (Sanlihe)
Address: Sanli He East Road 5, ZhongShang Mansion b1 Floor, Beijing, China

Environment: Rating 4.6 ★★★★★
Service: Rating 4.1 ★★★★✰
Price: 450 RMB per person

Impression:
This restaurant is more expensive, but it’s worth every penny, and the Chef comes and cuts and serves the duck at your table. The decor is stunning and feels slightly 1920s; the surrounding visible gardens are also very tranquil and take you away from the constant bustle of Beijing while you eat.
Address:1949 Club, No.98 Jinbao Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing 100005, China
