The Duck House, Chinese restaurant in Wanshou Village, Taiwan.
The Duck House is a Chinese restaurant in Wanshou Village that specializes in Peking duck prepared using traditional techniques with Muscovy ducks from Yilan County. The meat is roasted in a wood oven and served with various classic accompaniments.
The restaurant was founded by a grandfather more than 50 years ago, establishing the Peking duck tradition in Taiwan. The current chef, representing the third generation, continues these authentic cooking methods today.
The restaurant follows the authentic Beijing tradition of carving each duck into precisely 36 pieces and serving it with flatbread. This preparation reflects the culinary skills passed down through the family over many decades.
The restaurant operates daily from 11 AM to 2 PM and 5 PM to 9 PM with moderate pricing and credit card payment options available. Since duck availability is limited each day, booking ahead is strongly recommended.
Each duck undergoes 24 hours of air-drying before being roasted in a wood oven, with birds raised 100 days longer than standard practice. This extended breeding period results in significantly higher fat content that gives the meat its distinctive richness.
