We live in Beijing for close to 15 years now. Duck de Chine is our favorite restaurant to bring guests from overseas since the quality of foods is high and the presentation is impressive. The wine list is also good. However, over the years, I find the costs of dining there has increased dramatically. Eg a simple dinner with a duck for 4-5 pax can easily cost rmb1800+ without wine. They charge rmb10 per pax for condiments as well as an additional rmb10 per pax for sauces. So if you have 5 pax, that's already rmb100 additional for condiments and sauces for the duck you're having. I do find that a bit greedy on their part. But if you're there to impress your guests and budget is not an issue, Duck de Chine is an excellent choice.
