Beijing's culinary scene offers an extraordinary feast for the senses, and standing proud amongst its gastronomic luminaries is DaDong Roast Duck Restaurant. This is a place where ancient traditions meet modern finesse, producing a dining experience that's nothing short of extraordinary.
The star attraction, as one would rightly presume, is the Peking Duck. DaDong has taken this time-honoured recipe and elevated it to a fine art. Each duck, expertly roasted to a tantalising golden-brown, bears the hallmark of DaDong's uncompromising commitment to perfection - its skin, a delicate layer of crispness, gives way to succulent meat, rich and tender, yet without any hint of excess fat.
The duck is carved tableside with a level of precision and artistry that is mesmerising to behold. Each slice, impeccably uniform, balances skin, fat, and meat, creating a harmony of textures that is echoed in its complex flavours.
Accompanied by an assortment of traditional accompaniments, pancakes that are as soft as whispers, vibrant scallions and sweet bean sauce, each mouthful of the Peking Duck becomes a multi-layered symphony of flavours. It's an indulgence that transcends the simple act of eating, transforming it into a ritual of celebration.
The staff at DaDong are worthy of commendation as well. Warm, professional and attentive, they play their roles with aplomb, ensuring every detail of your dining experience is tended to with care.
In a city known for its Peking Duck, DaDong stakes a powerful claim to being one of the finest. If you find yourself in Beijing, missing a meal here would be akin to an unpardonable culinary sin. DaDong doesn't just serve food; it serves tradition, art, and passion on a plate. And it's an experience that will leave you profoundly moved and...

The food quality and presentation was superb, even the simplest of dishes like Chestnut soup was full of so much flavor. The staff is very attentive, and the venue is insanely huge, the size of a small shopping mall, so you can have either small group dinners or very big functions. There was lots of parking inside but not sure if I saw an...
Read moreA great experience of service and flavour. Probably one of the best beijing Duck. The preparation is an experience worth it and the taste is really great. You should also try the chef's award winning dessert : glazed apple. It is a little expensive (above 30€ per person) compared to prices of other local restaurants, but it is certainly...
