On Guijie (簋街)—Beijing’s legendary food street—Hua’s Restaurant (花家怡园) is where tradition meets theater. Their crispy roast duck, glazed to mahogany perfection and carved tableside, is a masterclass in Peking cuisine. Pair it with zhajiangmian (炸酱面, noodles in fermented bean sauce) or garlicky youmaicai (油麦菜, oil-slicked greens), all served in a serene courtyard framed by red lanterns and ancient eaves. Here, every bite feels like a whispered secret from old Beijing, while the hum of the city fades beyond the walls.

📍 218 Guijie Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing (北京市东城区簋街218号)

🕒 Daily 10:30am–10pm

🦆 Tip: Dine at dusk when lanterns glow and the courtyard hums with warmth.
