Duck du Chine

Located in a converted Communist-era factory complex, this upmarket restaurant puts a new spin on Peking Duck. The traditional dish is served with champagne as well as revolutionary fusion dishes, such as the appetizer duck liver. As one of the best Peking Duck restaurants in Beijing, Duck du Chine has come up with its unique recipe to delicious, which is to roast a 38 to 42-day-old hybrid of British Cherry Valley Duck and Beijing White Duck over Chinese date wood lugged from Shaanxi and Shanxi Province in the country. While the duck is carved next to your table, qipao-clad waitresses mix a special home-made dipping sauce to go along your dream dish. The rest of the menu is also strong. Must-try dishes include pumpkin infused with sour plum, lobster fried with XO sauce. Probably due to its Hong Kong management, the restaurant also offers stellar dim sum.
