Quanjude

Quanjude is a renowned Chinese restaurant chain specializing in Peking duck. Founded in 1864 during the Qing dynasty in Beijing, Quanjude is known for its traditional Peking duck preparation methods, which involve roasting the duck in a specially designed oven, resulting in a crispy skin and tender meat. The preparation is often accompanied by a ceremonial carving of the duck at the table.

Quanjude has become a symbol of Chinese culinary culture and has expanded both domestically and internationally. The restaurant's success has been attributed to its commitment to quality ingredients, traditional techniques, and emphasis on customer service. It is a popular destination for both tourists and locals seeking an authentic Peking duck experience. Over the years, Quanjude has also developed a range of other Chinese dishes, but Peking duck remains its signature offering. The restaurant chain is also recognized as a "China Time-Honored Brand," a designation given to companies that represent Chinese culture and heritage.
