Li Family Imperial Cuisine

Intimate courtyard restaurant serving imperial court cuisine. Set menus range from ¥200 to ¥1,500 a head but the food is exquisite.
Liqun Roast Duck Restaurant

Peking duck at this chaotic, little courtyard restaurant is usually sublime, despite the rough-and-ready ambience.
Made In China

The kitchen is open allowing diners to view ducks roasting and nimble fingers speedily making disks of dough and spooning in fragrant fillings to make the little dumplings known as jiaozi, a Beijing specialty (see Jiaozi).
