Peking duck from a closed oven, since 1416

Budget

¥120–125 pp

Address

F4, 16 Chongwenmen Outer Street, Dongcheng

Bianyifang cooks its ducks in a closed oven, roasting with the heat stored in the walls rather than an open flame. The skin comes out thin and crisp, and the meat tends to taste less greasy than the hung-oven style. It is the house people set against Quanjude, so some travellers try both on consecutive nights. This branch sits on the fourth floor of an office-style building, easy to walk past from the street.
