Da Dong Roast Duck

Dongcheng, Beijing

4.7(4300 reviews)
MichelinEnglish MenuMust-try

The most iconic contemporary Peking duck experience, with a crisp skin that snaps like glass.

Da Dong reinvented Peking duck for the modern era: leaner birds, air-dried skin so crisp it shatters, and a tasting menu built around the duck's full anatomy. The Dongsi Shi Tiao flagship is the one to book.

Staff speak enough English to guide you, menus are bilingual, and the presentation is theatrical without being gimmicky. Book two days ahead for dinner.

Best for: The single most iconic Beijing meal.
