Quanjude

Get ducked Quanjude is a world-renowned style of Peking duck, made from traditional recipes handed down since the Qing Dynasty. In Australia, if you’re looking for the country’s best Peking duck, head straight for Quanjude, an upmarket Beijing eatery on Queen Street in Melbourne. The restaurant is the first to serve the Chinese delicacy, and the talented team have managed to get the tricky dish just right. The duck needs to be the perfect combination of tender on the inside, crispy on the outside before it’s sliced and wrapped in paper-thin pancakes. You’ll find the real deal here! Quanjude doesn’t just serve duck, however; there are plenty of other Asian offerings on the menu, including beef, seafood, soups, noodles and vegetarian dishes. For duck lovers as well as anyone who likes Chinese (and let’s face it, isn’t that all of us?), Quanjude certainly fits the bill. Best dish: Quanjude Peking duck
