China Restaurant Week: It's Back, and Hungry for More

The fourth edition of China Restaurant Week is coming up quickly, and Beijing will be once again presenting the finest of its dining for cheap, with a total of 51 restaurants confirming their participation (though we expect more surprises to be in store). Beginning February 28 and finishing March 9, the popular event now extends across ten days (with two weekends), ensuring you have plenty of time to eat everywhere the town's been buzzing about, but you've never had the chance to go to.

High-end restaurant participants during the festival will once again have exclusive menus ready for China Restaurant Week with lunch for RMB 78 and dinner for RMB 168, prices which reflect the nature of an affordable, yet delicious, three-course meal experience.

Normal public sales will start from 11am on February 18, though Citibank cardholders will benefit greatly by being able to jump the public queue and reserve tickets from 11am on February 14. Early booking privileges extend to anyone who likes DiningCity's social media (WeChat, Weibo or Facebook) which will earn you a head start beginning 11am on February 17. All reservations can be booked here.

The list of returning restaurants include:
Whampoa Club (winner of the last Restaurant Week)
Brasserie Flo
Mosto
The Cut, Fairmont Beijing
Mio, Four Seasons Beijing

Several notable, recent arrivals to the Beijing dining scene have joined the program, including:
Parnas
Brick and Wood
Opera Bombana

The offerings this edition are formidable, so keep your dining calendar, and your stomachs, empty – this is guaranteed to be one full-on run of fine dining.
