One cannot talk about Beijing’s cuisine without dedicating an entire article to Peking duck. It is the city’s most iconic dish.
I tried three different restaurants during my stay. The ritual of carving the duck at the table and wrapping it in thin pancakes is quite a spectacle. To reach the most famous places, I used Beijing’s transportation without any issues.
If you are traveling to Beijing, book a table in advance at the historic restaurants: they fill up quickly.
