Peking Duck is one of the most famous dishes in Beijing. If you find Quanjude rather crowded and hard to make a reservation, you can try some other restaurants known for duck dishes, such as Bianyifang. Although some customers find the slices of roast duck greasy, when wrapped inside the thin pancake and dipped with sweet sauce, the fat actually makes the flavor unique and savory.
