iDen & QuanJuDe Beijing Duck House: Michelin-Starred Peking Duck on Cambie Street
iDen & QuanJuDe Beijing Duck House is the only Chinese restaurant in Vancouver with a Michelin star, which it has held every year since the guide arrived in the city in 2022. It is the Vancouver outpost of QuanJuDe, the Beijing duck house founded in 1864 that has served royalty and heads of state, and its roast duck is one of the most celebrated dishes in Canada.
Here is what to expect at iDen & QuanJuDe, how the duck is served and how to plan your visit.
About iDen & QuanJuDe
QuanJuDe's roasting tradition dates back more than 160 years, and the Vancouver restaurant follows it closely. Ducks raised in the Fraser Valley to exacting specifications are roasted to order, which can take up to 55 minutes, then carved at the table.
The dining room is opulent, with gold accents and high ceilings, and the menu goes well beyond duck. Michelin inspectors have praised the kitchen's range, from simple stir-fried greens to an abalone and matsutake broth. In 2026 the restaurant added Chef Matt Chen, who previously led a three-Michelin-star kitchen.
