I think I have found the best Peking Duck restaurant in Beijing. 我觉得这就是北京最好吃的北京烤鸭了。 It’s located in the Hutongs, no queue when we came and although at the entrance you can see a lot of pictures of high profile people who have dined here, the atmosphere here was very authentic and simple. Initially I thought I came to the wrong place because all the Peking Duck restaurants we went were full of people and had a lot of staffs, wearing nice uniform, huge led screens etc at the shop front. This don’t look like a Michelin restaurant at all to me 😅. When we arrived at around 11am, we were ushered to a small room with 3 tables and were told that the first batch of roasted duck will be ready by 11.30am. No wonder no queue yet as people start coming in around 11.30am. The roasted duck aroma filled the room when the chef brought it into our room and he wasted no time to carve it. The duck was so thick and juicy, so pang pang and the fat is not jelak at all. Minimum portion here is own duck. The remaining not so meaty part we requested it 盐酥. The corn dish was also very good, even now I also think about it. I will be back ! #hungryrayshoots #北京 #北京美食 #大众点评 #吃货 #beijing #michelinbeijing #bibgourmand #michelinrestaurants #北京烤鸭 #烤鸭 #roastduck #beijingchina #foodstagram #foodies #foodie #ilovebj Was introduced by our driver to try this local restaurant for its Peking Duck. Must said it was a good recommendation indeed. The duck skin was crispy, meat juicy. The wraps were also nicely warmed up before been served to us. We added 2 additional dishes of sweet sour brinjal which was lightly fried and a spicy sour soup. Overall a great authentic Beijing meal in a local eats. Strong recommend if one is at the 天坛 park area. Welcoming staff, easy to order. Seemed authentic with lots of locals. The staff showed us how to eat the duck properly. Delicious! Do recommend.

I got hooked on my first trip to Beijing and had to come back again. Liqun is often listed as a top 10 Peking Duck restaurant in Beijing according to various Chinese websites, and rightfully so. Founded in 1864 and located in a residential area, it gives a local, authentic type of experience. In the hall to the dining area, you pass a the chef who is roasting all of the ducks in a brick oven. The smell is amazing. The duck is flavorful, rich and oily. They have 3 different sets to choose from, we got the one that included fried duck as well. It feeds 2 very well, it's almost too much. We ordered a couple more dishes and overate. Stick with the duck, you can’t go wrong.
