Celestial Restaurant, Chinese restaurant in Min'an Village, Taiwan.
Celestial Restaurant is a Chinese establishment in Min'an Village, Taiwan, specializing in traditional Peking Duck. The dining room features round tables with rotating lazy Susans beneath red lanterns hung from ornate golden ceilings.
The establishment began serving Peking Duck in the 1950s, following culinary traditions brought by mainland Chinese immigrants to Taiwan. The dish quickly became a regional specialty and grew popular among local diners.
Diners wrap thin slices of roasted duck skin in pancakes with scallions and hoisin sauce, following age-old Beijing dining customs passed down through generations. The meal is served at round tables with rotating centerpieces, supporting shared and communal eating.
The establishment recommends making reservations at least one day in advance, particularly if planning to order the signature duck. Arriving outside peak hours allows for a more relaxed meal and better service from staff.
The restaurant presents the duck in three distinct preparations: crispy skin with pancakes, meat served with rice, and a rich broth made from bones. Each preparation is skillfully presented, allowing diners to experience all parts of the bird.
