Kuo Yuan

Kuo Yuan

The Kuo Yuan was a Chinese restaurant on Willesden High Road, Willesden, London, England, played an important part in the history of Chinese cuisine in the UK. In particular, it was the first restaurant in the UK to serve Pekinese dishes, including Peking Duck. Peking Duck is now served at most Chinese restaurants the UK.

It was established in 1963 when a group of Chinese restaurateurs managed to convince the Chinese ambassador's chef, a Mr Kuo from Beijing, to defect. A visit by Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon, the Posh and Becks of their day, put both the restaurant and Chinese food on the map. It was also recommended by Egon Ronay.
