In a city famous for roast duck, Duck de Chine stands out from the crowd.
The restaurant’s industrial chic décor creates a very relaxed, classy ambiance, while the menu incorporates both French and Chinese duck-roasting traditions as well as other supporting dishes.
The chef team is composed by father-son Peter and Wilson Lam, Hong Kong natives who lived in Beijing for over a decade.
The house classic is the Peking duck cooked to perfection in a very unique way: 43-days-old, 2 kilograms duck roasted for 65 minutes on 40-year-old jujube wood, ready to be dipped in a house-made hoisin sauce and rolled into pancakes.
