EAT: Wagas Sanlitun Closed for Renovation, Juice By Melissa and Fiume Celebrate One Year

Those thinking that a healthy salad is just the right thing to combat Beijing's current health-sapping pollution have one less option in Sanlitun, as the Taikoo Li branch of Wagas is now closed for renovations. We hear the renovations will go on into the new year, perhaps as far as Spring Festival, which falls on February 8. Never fear, Wagas fans can still get their fix from the Kerry Centre branch.

What with all the Thanksgiving/Christmas/Holiday parties going on and still to come, the Beijinger team has been doing a lot of juicing recently, in hope of remaining as healthy as possible in the face of all the food and booze. One of our favorite juice purveyors, Juice by Melissa, is turning one this week and they are celebrating with a big party on Friday (Dec 4). They'll be turning those healthy juices into tasty cocktails, with all-you-can-drink cocktails, plus one glass of Champagne, setting you back just RMB 100. You'll also have the chance to win a makeover at London Loft, a trendy new salon that has just opened a few doors down from JBM. 

It seems like just yesterday since it opened, but Liangmaqiao Italian restaurant Fiume (from the team behind Mercante) is also already one year old. They are celebrating this Wednesday (Dec 2) with a party that is all about premium Italian bubbly. Raise a glass to one year and taste six different Italian sparkling wines, plus appetizers from Fiume's new winter menu, for just RMB 150. Fiume have also upgraded their lunch deal recently, keeping the same price (RMB 78 for two courses) but adding a lot more options, including main courses such as organic beef fillet, handmade pasta, and pizza bread. Wine by the glass (Montepulciano or Chardonnay, both Italian) is RMB 25. It'd be rude not to.

The Wagas space isn't that big. What are they doing that it will take so long?
