北京大董烤鸭店

Liqun Roast Duck Restaurant
利群烤鸭店
Somewhat off the beaten path, Li Qun serves quality ducks (RMB 138) in a traditional Beijing courtyard and is well worth the trek out to Qianmen. To spare yourself a lengthy wait – for your duck as well as a table – reserve and order in advance if possible. Editor’s choice for the “Best Duck” in our 2008 Restaurant Awards. Beijing Duck

全聚德
