Bookings for Spring 2025 Restaurant Week Are Now Open
Restaurant Week is back with its first edition for 2025! For those not in the know, Restaurant Week is a biannual event put on by Dining City that sees numerous restaurants across Beijing and other cities across China offering up delectable set menus at amazingly discounted prices.
Bookings are now open for the Spring 2025 edition, which will run from tomorrow, Mar 12, until Apr 6, and yes, we know that’s actually almost a month, not a week, but hey, you won’t hear us complaining about having longer to enjoy the deals!
This time around, just under 200 restaurants/restaurant branches are participating, offering exclusive menus at special fixed prices, 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,” “New Joiners” or “Best Value,” or filter results by a specific cuisine or price category.
Included in this year’s participating restaurants are 22 Michelin Star- or Black Pearl-awarded restaurants, so if you’ve had your eye on one, now is the time to go! They've also got an impressive 45 “New Joiners,” which are eateries joining Restaurant Week for the first time. Here, we’ve picked out a few of our personal recommendations to try.
Le Coq
Earlier this year, the Le Coq group opened their first Beijing Le Coq Wine & Bistro store in Taikooli. Specializing in French fusion food, they'll be offering Category B lunch and dinner sharing menus for two.* Both sets include a breadbasket, appetizers, two soups, two mains and dessert, plus side for the dinner set. Options include dishes from a variety of cuisines, like Thai Sour Shrimp Soup, Australian Grain-Fed Sirloin and Handmade Basque Burnt Cheesecake.

Charcoal
When Charcoal opened up in 2022, we were very impressed with their creativity, and concept of “food without borders.” During Restaurant Week they'll be offering a Category A dinner sharing menu for two.* On the menu, they've got a few of their larger dishes, such as Basil Fried Rice and Cuttlefish Risotto, along with plenty of their signature grilled dishes like Grilled Baby Squid and Skirt Steak.
