Roast Duck Restaurant In Beijing With A 5th Generation Owner, Madam Yang Zong Man
**
**
On the wall of the covered entrance to the Qian Men Roast Duck restaurant were large photographs of dignitaries and politicians who had paid visits to the restaurant, then in the Peking Duck restaurant itself, only a large glass panel separated the busy chefs and the ovens to roast the Peking Duck, from the customers.
On arrival we were ushered to our table near the tableau of models of the founder of the Qian Men restaurant, together with a model of a chef carrying a Qian Men Roast Duck on a tray. A short time later, the 5th generation owner of the Qian Men restaurant, Madam Yang, joined us at table. There were moments when we saw groups of customers arriving and going up the stairs to their tables on the first floor, but as soon as customers at the tables near to us on the ground floor had finished their meals and had left their table, restaurant staff were at the table, and within about two minutes had cleared and reset the table and made it ready for new customers. There seemed to be a constant flow of customers to the Peking Roast Duck Restaurant, so no table was left unoccupied for more than a few minutes.
