Quanjude – is the most famous and leading Peking Roast Duck brand in Beijing. A symbol of gourmet cuisine with a long tradition of excellence dating back to 1864. It is also an outstanding culinary legacy of the era left by the royal chefs centuries ago. The inheritance of chef skills has been spread throughout the branches (or patented franchise restaurants) opened around the world, providing many conveniences to people and tourists who like to eat Peking duck to stimulate their taste buds and satisfy their appetite. Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant is located at: No. 32 Qianmen Street, Chongwen District, Beijing. So far as I know, this is the main store in Beijing. After we arrived at the restaurant, a group of dozens of us went up to the second floor. The receptionist led us to the reserved table and pleased us sat down. She placed the tableware on the table in front of us and politely asked us to wait a moment. About twenty minutes later, the food was served. Among the several dishes, the main dish was the Peking Roast Duck. We were served by the waiter in a special and noble hospitality method to cut the duck skin and duck meat into small pieces to serve us. We dip the duck skin and duck meat into the special sauce and enjoy it. In an instant, wow..... appreciative voices echoed across the dining table. It's really very crispy and delicious, and the meat is also delicious. We were really not disappointed when we all try it!. Just before eating duck meat, we need to wrap the duck meat first with some ingredients in the "dough skin" - a kind of pan cake which placed on the table in separated plates both with the duck meat, and enjoyed it in a full mouth after dipping it in the sauce. Overall, this meal and all the dishes were rated as delicious, especially the roast duck. I ate it with great relish and couldn't stop. I will definitely come again in the future. But unfortunately, I learned from a friend of Beijing who once worked as a tour guide that Quanjude Roast Duck is no longer the most popular top fashion delicacy in Beijing. It has lost its former reputation and has long been replaced by many up-and-coming new delicacies. And what the scene shows is that it is no longer as full as when we came ten years ago. Diners who have never been here might as well give it a try! This is indeed a delicious Peking duck meal.❤️😆😆 (010824/x)

全聚德 / quanjude has been established since 1864 with the first branch located in 前门 / Qianmen. We came here for a lunch on a weekday, and this big restaurant was so crowded with people kept coming little by little, so that this restaurant is always crowded. Here are what we tried : 全聚德精品烤鸭 / quanjude jingpin kaoya / Quanjude Whole Roast Duck (CNY 258) We also got the crispy duck skin with its oil that is so tempting good! The roast duck has a smooth texture, tender, and definitely with a great taste! 葱 & 酱 / cong & jiang / Green Onions & Sauce (CNY 3) FYI, ordering roast duck does not include complement. I recommend you to order the complement one portion for one person. 荷叶饼 / he ye bing / Thin Pancake (CNY 14) One portion is enough for 3 persons. When eating Peking Duck, it is not usual to eat it with rice. Replacing the rice with the thin pancake. So, how to eat the Peking Duck with then Thin Pancake? - First of all, you need to prepare one white thin pancake onto your plate. - Secondly, put 1 - 2 sliced roast duck, green onion, sauce, garlic, and sugar. I recommend you not to put too much filling inside the thin pancake, just like I did (since I was so excited with the roast duck 😄 ). If you do this, you may find it hard to wrap. - Thirdly, wrap slowly the thin pancake along with the filling. Voila! The Peking Duck is ready to enjoy! You may repeat it again and again. If you still do not get how to prepare it, the waiter / waitress will help you. They usually will ask you first whether you want them to assist in preparing it or not. Since this restaurant is so crowded, you have to be patient to get the waiter / waitress help you. It is because one person could serve several tables at once.

I did not have high expectations but I was pleasantly surprised. The QJD back home in Toronto simply cannot compare to the taste and grandeur of the restaurant in Qianmen. This is not a meal you eat every day, it’s definitely a once in a while treat. I was happy to enjoy this meal when visiting my grandpa as it really felt special. Some people may say they don’t see the appeal of QJD, and I agree that a lot of places can cook up a great Peking Duck that can rival theirs. But the price is actually quite reasonable (398 for the set) considering the central location and history of the restaurant. If you have a group that does not eat a lot, the Peking duck set will be enough. It comes with several plates of meat, in addition to the flower arrangement. We added a vegetable as we were worried it wouldn’t be enough but we could have done without it for our group of 4.

The oldest roast duck restaurant in Beijing. They have some branches all over Beijing and this one is in Qianmen area. It's a huge restaurant with lots of dining tables. I ordered whole Quanjude roast duck (CNY 258). I went here with my sister and turned out it was quite a big portion for two of us. The chef came to our table, he directly carved the duck and arranged nicely on some platters. This legendary Peking duck has tender and juicy meat with perfectly thin and crispy skin. The best way to enjoy this roast duck is by wrapping it in a thin pancake with minced garlic, spring onion, cucumber, sugar and soybean sauce. Surprisingly we have to pay for the sauce and side dishes. So, the total cost for this meal is CNY 317. Quite expensive but it was worth the price. Truly the best Peking duck I ever had!

Got here on Saturday around 5pm. Our party got seated right away as there was no queue. Not long after we ordered, the duck arrived all sliced up already. They don't cut the duck at your table but at the front of the dining area. The skin was crispy and thin. The meat was tasty. We also tried the tiered dessert, but it was not great. It's just pretty to look at. It had no flavour, mostly made of different beans. Just order the savoury items. The overall meal was delicious, but in comparison to the food back home, it's about the same. The only difference is that the peking duck is cheaper. I couldn't see the Michelin star quality of it.

This Beijing duck restaurant is quite interesting. Servers are extremely friendly and quite helpful. The duck is served in a delightful and tempting manner. It is refreshing and fresh. Green onions, cucumber slices, and wrapping pancakes are served with the roasted duck with hosin sauce (i think) . It is a magnificent experience for first timer. However, you might consider changing your door at your house after the meal. You might not be able to fit through. It's fatten. You mostly eating duck fat.
