The Duchess is an elevated Chamorro restaurant from Chef Kiko in Hampden, blending Guam-inspired cuisine with Asian and island influences. Must-try dishes include the pork belly, crispy corn patties (NYT-featured), shrimp kelaguen, and Spam musubi, plus rotating specials like skate. The service is attentive and knowledgeable, the atmosphere homey yet elegant—just note that while reservations are easy to make, it's popular enough that planning ahead is wise.
