The Best Mother's Day Dining Deals in Beijing

Growing up, Mother’s Day was the one day of the year that my mother would allow herself some 'me time.' The personalized cards and burned pancakes were all well appreciated, but I knew it was the prospect of putting her feet up and disconnecting from the world which she relished above all else.

Whatever your family’s Mother’s Day traditions, I would wager that things are going to be slightly different this year. Many of us are still rediscovering small joys we had hitherto taken for granted, while others are only just reemerging into the world and taking advantage of the great early summer weather, as the worst of the COVID-19 restrictions continue to be been lifted in the capital. 

All things considered, moms all over Beijing might get some extra pleasure out of a day out on the town, where they can be appreciated for their tireless efforts while sampling some of the best food Beijing has to offer. Below are just a few top picks for you and your mom to do just that this Sunday, May 10. You can browse all of this year's events here.
