Despite its name, the American Restaurant has served hearty Pekingese food since it opened right after World War II. Little changed over the decades and often filled with noisy, celebratory patrons, it has an English menu listing almost 200 dishes (the small-size dishes are good for two or three people), but the perennial favorites have always been barbecued Peking duck (HK$295/US$38/£19 and good for two or more people), beggar's chicken (which must be ordered a day in advance and costs HK$398/US$52/£26), sizzling prawns, and the sizzling beef hot plate. Otherwise, the staff is happy to make recommendations.
