Tianchu Restaurant - The Taste of Old Peking in Old Taipei

The founder of Tianchu Restaurant, who had retired from the military, frequently entertained high-ranking officials from the Five Academies and Eight Departments, accumulating in-depth knowledge and skills in Peking cuisine. Eventually, he established Tianchu, specializing in northern private-style dishes, starting with the famous "outer stew" (a type of slow-cooked dish), and once the customer base became stable, the "outer stew" service gradually ceased. Enjoying the taste of imperial families in a bright and spacious setting, with affordable prices, is the secret formula that has made Tianchu Restaurant popular among distinguished guests and won numerous awards.

Tianchu Restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes. Its world-renowned "Peking Roast Duck" inherits the meticulous and authentic cooking techniques of Peking master chefs, producing a glossy, crispy skin and tender, juicy duck meat. It is served with lotus leaf pancakes and slightly pungent Yilan Sanxing green onions, offering a rich and harmonious flavor profile, making it the restaurant's signature dish. Other popular delicacies such as "Fresh Tofu Shreds," "Lishan Celery," "Tianchu Old Tofu," and "Scallion Braised Sea Cucumber" are all testaments to the true culinary skills of the kitchen. Trying the Peking Roast Duck allows one to glimpse the rigorous and meticulous nature of Peking cuisine, which emphasizes original flavors. After indulging in Tianchu Restaurant, which has stood for 37 years, one can savor the authentic taste of old Peking.
