All 24 Duck Dishes

Crispy Duck Salad

Yauatcha

Soho·$$$

£18.00

Shredded crispy duck with pomegranate, pomelo, and cress.

Tip: This appears on the Prosper set menu (£88pp) alongside dim sum and mains. If you're considering going a la carte, compare prices — the set menus often work out better value for a full dinner.

Powdered Duck xxxxxxx (c.1670)

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal

Knightsbridge·$$$$

£60.00

Duck xxxxxxx with smoked fennel, apricot, spiced umbles, and raisins.

Tip: The 'umbles' in this dish are offal — a nod to the original recipe. If offal is not your thing, ask the xxxxx what the current preparation involves before ordering.

Roast Duck

Royal China Club

Marylebone·$$$

£18.50

Cantonese roast duck with crispy lacquered skin, served with plum sauce.

Tip: Order the half duck to share between two as part of a larger meal. The skin is the best part -- make sure each person gets a piece with crispy skin attached.

The Humble Pigeon

Humble Chicken

Soho·$$$$

£235.00

A multi-element pigeon course that draws on both Japanese and European traditions.

Tip: This course tends to be the centrepiece of the meal. Multiple preparations of the same bird — look for how each element uses a different technique.

Pigeon from Jean-Jacques Boga

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

Mayfair·$$$$

£250.00

Whole pigeon sourced from Jean-Jacques Boga with carrot, ginger, and marigold.

Tip: If you prefer your pigeon more well-done, mention it when ordering. The default is pink, which is traditional French but not for everyone.

Inaniwa Udon with Duck Dashi

HIMI

Soho·$$$

£13.50

Thin, delicate udon noodles in a rich duck broth.

Tip: Finish every drop of the duck broth — it's rich in umami but light enough to drink without feeling heavy.

Anjou Pigeon with Liver Toast

Planque

Haggerston·$$$

£28.00

Roast Anjou pigeon served with a rich liver toast.

Tip: The pigeon is served pink. If you prefer well-done meat this is not the dish for you. The liver toast is rich — share it if you have ordered other mains too.

Crispy Roast Duck

Dim Sum Duck

King's Cross·$$

£18.50

Signature Cantonese roast duck with a secret spice marinade.

Tip: Order the half duck for two — it's the perfect portion size and ensures you get a good mix of the best cuts.

#999% recommend

Exmoor Caviar with Roscoff Onion and Duck Jelly

Brooklands by Claude Bosi

Belgravia·$$$$

A complex, layered signature featuring premium British caviar and a legendary duck jelly.

Tip: This is the 'hit' that everyone comes for. If you only have one high-end meal in London, this dish justifies the visit.

#1096% recommend

Duck Leg Confit

Bistro Aix

Crouch End·$$$

£24.50

Tender duck leg slow-cooked in its own fat with seasonal accompaniments.

Tip: The accompaniments rotate with the seasons, but the duck itself is always perfectly executed. It's the most reliable dish on the menu.

#1196% recommend

Roasted Peking Duck

Hutong

London Bridge·$$$$

£85.00

Traditional roasted duck carved tableside, served with thin pancakes and hoisin.

Tip: Order the whole duck if you're a group of four. The tableside carving is a great part of the experience.

#1294% recommend

Crispy Duck Salad

Arlington

St James's·$$$$

£16.50

A favorite shared plate featuring tender shredded duck and fresh greens.

Tip: It's a very light and elegant way to start. Great for sharing with the table before the heavier mains.

#1394% recommend

Confit Goose Leg

Ognisko

South Kensington·$$$

£28.00

Tender goose leg slow-cooked in its own fat, served with traditional accompaniments.

Tip: Check if it's on the specials board — it's often a seasonal item and is always a highlight when available.

#1493% recommend

Canard à la Presse

Otto's

Holborn·$$$

£52.00

Roasted duck pressed tableside with its juices to make a rich sauce.

Tip: Book this ahead and sit where you can see the press in action. The ceremony is half the appeal.

#1592% recommend

Peking Duck with Caviar and Truffle

A. Wong

Pimlico·$$$

£200.00

Roasted duck served as delicate pancakes with luxury garnishes.

Tip: The pancakes are incredibly thin — handle gently and eat in two bites as intended. Trying to eat in one bite causes them to fall apart.

#1692% recommend

Roast Duck

Hung's Chinese Restaurant

Chinatown·$$

£13.50

Half or whole roasted duck served with rice or noodles.

Tip: Ask for a half portion on rice if you're alone. The duck is perfectly cooked with crispy skin and tender meat.

#1792% recommend

Duck Breast with Marmalade and Endive

Evelyn's Table

Soho·$$$

£135.00

Rested duck breast on punchy marmalade raisins with jus and slow-cooked endive.

Tip: The crispy skin is half the experience — don't leave it behind. The contrast between crackling skin and pink flesh is what makes this special.

#1889% recommend

Duck Noodle Soup

Hung's Chinese Restaurant

Chinatown·$$

£7.50

Rich broth with fresh egg noodles, large slices of roast duck, and green onions.

Tip: Perfect after a night out — the rich broth and duck slices are comforting and restorative at 2am.

#1988% recommend

Duck Confit

Brasserie Zedel

Soho·$$

£19.95

Slow-roasted duck leg served with cherry sauce and potatoes.

Tip: Reviewers return specifically for the duck confit — it's one of the most reliable dishes on the menu with consistently tender meat.

#2088% recommend

Duck & Waffle

City of London·$$$

£22.00

Crispy confit duck leg, golden waffle, fried duck egg, and mustard maple syrup.

Tip: Order this - it's the reason you came. The sweet-savory combo is divisive but worth trying. Eat it immediately while the waffle is still warm.

#2187% recommend

Confit Duck Leg

La Palombe

Kensington·$$$

£22.00

Slowly cooked duck leg with crispy skin and tender, rich meat.

Tip: This is bistro cooking at its best—simple, bold and executed with skill. Don't skip it.

#2285% recommend

Roast Duck Noodle

Wong Kei

Chinatown·$

£9.50

Sliced roast duck over egg noodles in savoury broth.

Tip: The roast duck here isn't the crispiest or juiciest in Chinatown, but it's solid quality at £10. The broth makes it worthwhile.

#2385% recommend

Mixed Barbecue Rice

Wong Kei

Chinatown·$

£9.00

Roast duck, char siu, and pork belly over rice with BBQ sauce.

Tip: This is the best dish to try everything Wong Kei does well. You get duck, char siu, and pork belly all at once. The BBQ sauce is excellent.

#2485% recommend

Confit Duck with Lentils & Mustard

Noble Rot

Bloomsbury·$$

£20.00

Tender duck leg confit with Puy lentils, cabbage, and grainy mustard.

Tip: This is ideal if you want something hearty but refined. The duck falls apart, the lentils add substance, the mustard lifts it. Perfect winter dish.
