Da Dong Duck

So far i've been to 3 Peking Duck restaurants in Beijing and DaDong 北京大董烤鸭店 is the best one so far!

There are a few DaDongs in the city and the one we went to was at:
Nanxincang International Plaza
22A Dongsishitiao
Dongcheng District
东城区东四十条甲22号南新仓国际大厦
T:5169 0329

DaDong is an "A" class restaurant that is featured in all the guide books for good reason, the food is amazing! Each dish is presented as art with great attention to detail. As such this is quite an expensive restaurant for Beijing standards, we ended up paying RMB 180 per person (group of 9).

This tomb of a menu was almost bigger than our table! The photography of the food was amazing!

Tofu cakes

Pork ribs with honey glaze presented as a mountain where snow (powerdered sugar) has freshly fallen

Cherry tomato with walnut and mayo inside

Duck master

The duck here is famous for being low in fat but still tasting great!

Everyone gets their own personal duck condiments platter 

Definitely a great place to take visitors and business clients

Totally agree, Da Dong is definitely worthy of the praise it gets.
