Xiang Man Lou 香满楼

Xiang Man Lou is little-known among the expat community, but many Beijingers say it has the best duck in town. This clean restaurant is always packed with people, old and young, queueing for tables. The restaurant looks something like a New York diner from the outside, and the booth seating by the window adds to that feeling. However, Xiang Man Lou serves wonderful Peking duck and large portions of genuine Shandong-style food. At RMB 118 for a whole duck (with condiments), it’s a steal.
