- 22 Dongsishitiao, Dongcheng District (Original branch)
- 3 Tuanjiehu Beikou, Chaoyong District
- 5th floor Jinbaohui Shopping Center, 88 Jinbao Street, Dongcheng District
If there was only one restaurant to visit in Beijing, this will be the one. The 40-minute plus waiting time in front the duck ovens, watching cooks cooking the famous DaDong Peking Duck is easily forgotten as soon as you open the menu. The must is of course the Peking Duck, which is eaten with over 11 small side dishes wrapped into a flat chapati-like bread, similar to dumpling skin. Then the rest of the night is your choice with a large choice of fantastic tastes: Fresh Fried Prawn, Tender Green Pea, Fried Scallop, Sauteed Duck, Cod Fish in Black Sauce cooked in Pumpkin ... A must-do in the city. - Made In China
- Grand Hyatt Beijing, 1 East Chang An Avenue, Beijing
One of three restaurants at The Grand Hyatt in Beijing is located on the main floor behind the lobby counter. In a long corridor with different rooms, Made in China offers privacy to talk and intimacy to watch cooks behind the glass wall. The Asian food is fantastic with a touch of creativity and surprising combination of tastes. A must-try in your wanderings in Beijing. - Quan Ju De Restaurant
- 14, Qianmen West Street, Beijing
Famous for its trademark Peking Roast Duck and its longstanding culinary heritage since its establishment in 1864 in Beijing, China, the restaurant is packed everyday of the week anytime of the day. - Wangfujing Night Food Market
- Donghuamen Street, near top of Wangfujing Street
If you want to eat snakes, crickets, scorpions, starfish, and other worms, that would be the place.
