V5 He Xiang Ou Jia (荷香藕夹) – lotus root fritters stuffed with pork
This delightful appetizer is crispy on the outside, earthy-sweet from delicate lotus root slices, and packed with a juicy, ginger-marinated pork filling.
The shell is crisp and light.A quick fry gives these thin lotus root “sandwiches” a satisfying crunch without greasy aftertaste.
The lotus root itself has a subtle nutty sweetness and a refreshing crunch, balancing the rich pork filling.
The lean, tender pork is seasoned with fresh ginger for a warm, aromatic kick – juicy but not oily, with a savory depth. The meat is finely minced to ensure it cooks through in minutes, while staying succulent.
This is one of the rare fried treats that doesn’t weigh you down.
H4 Peng Cheng Di Guo Ji (彭城地锅鸡)– Chicken Pot with Chili, Potatoes, and Flatbread in Xuzhou Style.
This rustic, chili-laced dish from China’s Jiangsu province is served in steaming pot of tender bone-in chicken, smoky spices, and elastic handmade flatbread.
The juicy, bone-in chicken is slow-cooked until it’s fall-apart tender, soaking up a rich, savory broth with a hint of sweetness. Infused with ginger, leeks, and star anise, the broth carries layers of warmth and aroma. Every meat piece is deeply seasoned — smoky from the seared pot bottom, slightly numbing from Sichuan peppercorns, and finished with a fiery chili kick. It’s so flavorful that it’s almost unreal.
The wide flatbread is so elastic, it practically bounces back when you lift a ribbon. Like flavor sponges, they absorb every drop of the addictive broth while staying perfectly chewy.
A mix of fresh and dried chilies brings serious heat (though adjustable!), while cilantro adds a bright finish. Potatoes melt into the broth, thickening the sauce that clings to every ingredient.
Served with rice, it’s a full meal that’ll leave you buzzing.
E1 Le Voyage’s Signature Peking Duck (招牌北京烤鸭)
Le Voyage serves an authentic version: dry-aged, air-pumped, and roasted golden masterpiece with crisp, glistening skin and succulent meat, prepared using techniques perfected over 600 years in Beijing’s imperial kitchens.
Due to its limited daily supply, it’s better to order ahead. Each duck is roasted fresh to order and can take up to 30-minute wait.
First things first – let’s talk about the most magical part: the skin. Each piece shimmers with a mahogany color and shatters like an edible glass. With all excess fat rendered out, the skin becomes translucent, aromatic, and impossibly light. Savor a piece naked or with a light dip in the sauce, to appreciate its pure, umami-rich crispness.
The silky duck meat has a subtle smokiness. It is unbelievably moist without being fatty – just clean, profound duck flavor.
Eat it the traditional way: take a warm, paper-thin pancake (薄饼), spread the sweet bean sauce (甜面酱) — a thick, dark sauce that’s savory and sweet with hints of fermented soy— then add duck, crisp skin, and fresh vegetable strips of cucumber, carrot, and scallion (大葱), maybe lettuce too for extra freshness. Fold it like a mini wrap, and you’ll get crispy, tender, juicy, fresh, and sweet-savory all in one bite.
The half duck is perfect for 2 people to share as a centerpiece dish!
Le Voyage specializes in Huaiyang cuisine—a refined culinary tradition from China’s Jiangsu province known for its delicate flavors, artistic presentation, and emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Think braised meats, clear broths, and subtle sweetness balanced with savory depth.
But if you want more existing flavors, they also serve a great variety of authentic spicy Sichuan dishes, like the fiery Mao Xue Wang or aromatic grilled fish.
Beyond today’s highlights, we are also eyeing their steamed turbot (Duo Bao Yu), a whole fish dish with glossy, tender flesh and a light soy-scallion dressing – another good example of their balanced and elegant dishes. Yet that’s a story for another visit.
The dish names here are all so poetic!
This dry pot chicken looks pretty good! Last time, we tried their paper-wrapped fish, which was strongly recommended by the staff. The fish was really small and had no flavor at all. The sauce on the side was way too salty, and they even added slices of pork belly in it. The seafood sauce totally didn’t go with the pork. It cost 40 euros, and honestly, it just felt like a waste.
I’ve visited this restaurant many times, and I always order the dry pot chicken. The potatoes in it are cooked until soft and fluffy, super flavorful!
One highlight is their tea service. Each person gets their own pot, and hot water refills are free. I personally like the White Peony tea; it has a lovely floral aroma.
Their steamed buns are house-made, pretty big, and definitely worth trying!
The food at this place is just way too salty!
If you live nearby and don’t feel like cooking, it’s okay for a quick meal.
But if you live far away, it’s probably not worth the trip.
We tried the grilled fish at this place, it was pretty standard. The skin was nice and crispy, and they used a good amount of salt, so it was full of flavor. The broth wasn’t as heavy or artificial-tasting as at Slurp Nudelbar, which I appreciated. There were also more types of side ingredients. Things like tofu skin, napa cabbage, green beans, carrots, lotus root, broccoli, rice cakes, potatoes, and onions. I personally love having a variety like that. However, the fish itself was a bit on the small side.
People always say Le Voyage serves upscale Chinese food, and as soon as you walk in, the decor already feels a level above typical Chinese restaurants. Then you see the prices and the plating – definitely lives up to the reputation! 😂
This place has some dishes that aren’t listed on the regular menu. As soon as we walked in, the server told us about a few special off-menu items for the day. The moment we heard ‘crayfish,’ we ordered it without hesitation. Ever since trying it in Shanghai, we haven’t been able to forget it!
I’ve been to this place and tried their garlic pork ribs. When the dish arrived, the garlic aroma was amazing, super fragrant! But!!! The ribs themselves had almost no flavor. After a few bites, I realized it wasn’t getting any better, so I asked the kitchen to re-fry them with some extra salt. Unfortunately, the salt only coated the surface, and the inside was still bland. I guess they didn’t marinate the meat well. At €24.80, it really didn’t feel worth it.
Absolutely loved the dry-fried green beans (€14.80). So good!! Perfect with rice, super flavorful and fragrant! Just a tiny bit salty on their own, but it balances out perfectly when you eat them with rice.
The price of the Dry Pot Chicken goes up by a euro every year, which is one thing, but the portion also keeps shrinking. As for the flavor, now it just tastes salty and nothing else. When it first comes out, it’s bland (the best part is in the middle of the cooking, but by the end, it’s so salty you can’t eat it). It used to be numbing and spicy, with really fresh chicken that was tender and fell off the bone. The potatoes inside were especially delicious!
Le Voyage opened just before the pandemic. I remember their braised pork with soy egg was really delicious. The restaurant has a French-style approach: small portions, delicate plating, and slightly pricey, but the service is excellent.
Hi i think that i saw you visited my web site thus i came to return the favor. I am attempting to find things to improve my web site. I suppose it’s ok to use some of your ideas.
It’s a great spot! The steamed sea bass and dry pot chicken are my must-orders every time.
Good post! I’m quite often there. The atmosphere is nice, and the owner is really warm and welcoming. The dishes you mentioned are all pretty good, but the Xuzhou braised pork was a bit disappointing. It had a strange taste, and even though the pork was pan-fried on top, it was still quite soft. The average cost per person is usually around 50 euros each time, with takeaways.
Thanks for sharing! We took your advice and ordered the dry pot chicken—it was really delicious! It was more than enough for the two girls. The first serving of rice was free, and they gave us some prawn crackers on the side. The staff were also super friendly. We went at lunchtime, so it wasn’t crowded, and the food came pretty quickly. It cost around 15–20 euros per person.
I used to only know this place was famous for its dry pot chicken, but I didn’t expect there to be a hidden menu too. The owner said if there’s something you want to eat, you can order it in advance, as long as the chef can make it. When we were ordering at the restaurant, the chef mentioned they had a special today: rabbit and pumpkin flowers. So we tried them both, and they were really great!
Thanks for the update! I’m a regular there, this spot has free parking that’s pretty easy to find. The courtyard is super chill, and the inside has a nice mix of Asian style and modern design, it’s classy but not fancy. The staff are really friendly, and except for the Peking duck mentioned here(which takes a bit longer), the food comes out faster than you’d expect. The flavors are, in my opinion, more on the international side, so it’s actually perfect for hanging out with friends who aren’t used to Chinese or Asian food.
I got a little excited about this post only to find out the place is in Munich:(
