Beijing foodies! It’s that time of year again when the spring edition of Restaurant Week is all set to kick off. Starting from Mar 14 and running until Apr 7 (yes, we know that’s a lot longer than a week), this biannual event sees some of Beijing’s best restaurants offering up delectable set menus at amazingly discounted prices.

The Spring 2024 Restaurant Week sees 116 restaurants participating so far (there is still time for more to sign up) offering exclusive menus at a special fixed price, with four price categories to choose from:

Elite: Price determined by restaurants
Category A: RMB 148 for lunch and RMB 298 for dinner
Category B: RMB 118 for lunch and RMB 198 for dinner
Category C: RMB 78 for lunch and RMB 118 for dinner

These promotional prices allow you to dine in some of the top restaurants in the city which otherwise can be quite expensive. You can filter restaurants through a variety of categories such as “Fine Dining,” “Newly Joined” or “Best Value,” or filter results by a specific cuisine or price range.

Included in this year’s participating restaurants are 18 Michelin Star- or Black Pearl-awarded restaurants, so if you’ve had your eye on one, now is the time to go! This year they’ve also got 35 new restaurants joining Restaurant Week for the first time, so let’s take a look at a few of those.
