Slide into a Single or a Couple of Seats at Great Restaurants for Saturday Night's Chi Fan For Charity

Some of Beijing's best restaurants still have seats remaining for Saturday night's Chi Fan For Charity, and there's still time to squeeze in before it's too late.

Among the excellent eateries available: Brasserie FLO, which won an Outstanding Award in the Restaurant of the Year (Fine Dining/Non-Chinese) at the 2015 Beijinger Reader Restaurant Awards (RMB 1,000/person), also conveniently located not far from EAST Hotel Beijing and Xian Bar, the location of the Chi Fan For Charity after-party; Jing-A Taproom, which received an Outstanding Award as Best New Restaurant in the same competition, has two seats for RMB 500 each; and Q Mex, which won an Outstanding Award for Best Mexican Restaurant, has up to four seats for RMB 700. See the full list of restaurants and their availability here.

Set for the evening of Saturday, November 7, this annual event follows a simple formula: Restaurants donate a three-course meal with wine for a party of eight to 12, along with free admission to the after-party at Xian, featuring free-flow cocktails and live music. Each table is hosted by a community personality. Every participant pays RMB 500 to 1,500 per person, depending on the venue, with all of that money going directly to that year's charity partners.

This year's charity partners are Educating Girls of Rural China (EGRC), which has sponsored over 500 young women from poor rural regions of Western China to achieve high school and university education with 100 percent graduation rate; and Bethel China Foundation, which serves the blind and visually impaired orphaned population throughout China by providing a sustainable solution for each sponsored child.

Founded in 2009 with a mission of giving back to the Beijing community, Chi Fan for Charity (CFFC) is a modern take on the standard concept of a large, gala charity dinner. To date, Chi Fan for Charity has donated more than RMB 3,700,000 to local beneficiaries with 100 percent of table proceeds going directly to our designated charities.
