roast duck and OTHERS ?
I like roast duck, so does my son. When we come back to Beijing we are looking forward to this dish. BUT...my wife likes to eat something else... can anybody recommend a good DUCK RESTAURANT which is serving other dishes , too ???? I found some notes about "Da Dong"- how is that for both tastes ? Does anybody know the expression for SPRING ROLLS (if available ) ???? Maybe in Chinese characters ?

Hi, it's nice to hear that you all like bei jing kao ya, sometime I think it's too oily, but still like it. SPRING ROLLS in Chinese is 春卷/ chun1 juan3, and just as you said, quan ju de 全聚德 and da dong 大董,or bian4 yi fang3/便宜坊 all have other dishes, but their specialty is roast duck.
Here are some dishes from Da dong:

Goose liver
fillet Steak

some kind of snails

Some dishes from quan ju de:


wan dou huang: 豌豆黄
便宜坊:

tofu hamburger
Show Oligarch
Lilith

Da Dong is indeed pretty good... but those pictures, Lodgerly, are just ghastly!
They have a new outlet in Nanxincang, and their menu there at least shows appetizing pictures more in line with the food.
