Lazy Sundays are for sleeping in, and reading the paper, but most importantly—indulging in brunch! That hour when it is way too late for breakfast but not quite time for lunch is the best time to indulge in a languorous meal. Beijing offers a vast array, but if you want an Asian feast prepared by the team of Asian chefs from Cantonese China, to India, to Thailand, to Vietnam to Japan, then Asia Bistro at the JW Marriot is the place to go.
Whether you’re looking for freshly squeezed juice and an egg or two, or a full-on carnivorous meal of Peking Duck, Suckling Pork or Roast Beef, and even burgers and hot dogs, you will be happy and well-fed at Asia Bistro. Plus, it’s all against a backdrop of stunning city views and live jazz. The sheer variety of food is too much to mention, and my highlights include Chinese noodle soup, amazing bbq charred Peking Duck, mango pudding, coconuts to drink out of, cocktail tables, ice cream and mini cakes, and tiers of dim sum.
Located in China Central Place and accessible via subway this restaurant boasts excellent food and a great atmosphere. The prices are on the moderate side. For only 388 rmb you get free flowing wine and champagne and even Pina Coladas.
Asia Bistro offers a traditional breakfast station, stations laden with charcuteries, tapas and imported cheeses, raw bar, caviar station and salads. It also features personalized, a la minute dishes, made-to-order sushi and sashimi, seafood stir fries, curries, lamb sausage & pork sausage with sweet fennel, carved-to-order roast beef and pork with an array of sauces and accompaniments. The affair ends with a lavish dessert station including individual desserts such as crème brûlée and chocolate fondue.
Freshly brewed tea and coffee are also part of your dining experience, and I guarantee the sticky sweet dessert pastries will leave you sated and licking your lips.
However, most importantly, Asia Bistro embodies family values and Asian values. In Asia, where the family is the foundation of society, the experience of sharing a meal both unifies and nurtures. Sharing and enjoying a variety of dishes together is the standard practice in Asian households. The flavors and ingredients of each individual dish at Asia Bistro combine to create a complete dining experience. It has even garnered raves for its kids' corner; parents can now feast the afternoon away.
Do you want to and desire to have an incredible delicious Asian brunch? Than Asia Bistro creates a unique brunch with a dazzling buffet & delicious entrées.
