I can pen verses on the joys of sipping champagne and eating moist chunks of exotic delicacies while under the autumn sky of Beijing…but I would rather let the Hilton Wangfujing’s Fizztastic Brunch let me live it instead.
At the Fizztastic Brunch, you are able to indulge in impeccable seafood, immaculate Portuguese food, traditional Chinese, and adventurous additions of Costa Rican cuisine. All of it is made from the freshest of ingredients and the Tattinger champagne enhances each flavor, with spritely jovial caresses.

A festival to honor your taste buds via a buffet of vast proportions!
The Intercontinental Shanghai Expo is a new and dynamic 5-star hotel that offers its guests superior service and unmatched quality in every possible way. Within the gorgeous hallways, walking along an exquisitely-colored carpet that resembles the Pudong River, I was introduced to Café 1188.

Garden Court (Huating Hotel)

No. 1200, North Cao Xi Road. // 花苑餐厅，华亭宾馆一层，上海徐汇区漕溪北路1200号 Tel:021-64391000
ShanghaiChina
It was one of those grand, red granite lobbies. Bold and familiar; I felt like I had been there before. They do not make them like this nowadays. They really do not – the Huating Hotel is a fantastic and opulent example of the high end hotels that sprang up in the big cities in China in the 80s and 90s. The hotels that would welcome delegates, domestic and foreign, and high end guests travelling China in the post-reform era. Robust and confident architecture reflecting growing economic strength, growing optimism.

Feast Sheraton Pudong

Five Star dining should not be exclusive to dishes that often can be a challenge to envision, let alone pronounce. At Sheraton’s (Pudong New District) The Feast’s regular dinner and lunch menus offers both, the rare and exquisite alongside the familiar, which retains the 5-Star touch.

When called upon to review Café Swiss, part of the Swissotel Grand establishment, it was without question that it will be an evening of gluttony. Since it’s opening in 2008, Café Swiss has already carved a reputation for its repertoire of buffet selection.

There is a perception that the restaurants connected to the 5 star hotel chains are simply replicated in carbon copy across the world. A trip to the Intercontinental in Pudong and a discussion with Ivan, its head chef, would soon make anyone put aside any such ideas.

Opera Café (Raffles Tianjin)

No. 219 Nanjing Road, Heping District of Tianjin //天津菜佛士酒店，中国天津市 和平区南京路219号.
TianjinChina
Good dining and buffet-style eating are typically antithetical to each other. Generally, as portions and guests increase, the quality and freshness of the food decrease. At the new Tianjin Raffles the chef has conquered this problem by focusing the buffet around smaller portions and reducing the dining population to “café” size. Both efforts have elevated the Opera Buffet to Raffles brand standards of excellence.

The proprietors of Hotel Nikko have chosen the name of their newest restaurant rather aptly. Spectrum All-day Dining has national foods from nearly every color of the rainbow. The eatery specializes in buffet eating, although an a la carte menu is also available for those who miss the main dining hours. I visited Spectrum for their lunchtime buffet open Monday-Saturday, 12:00-2:30pm. At the price of 108 rmb I was surprised by the quality and variety of the buffet layout.

Café (Hyatt Regency Hangzhou)

Hangzhou, 33China
Hyatt Regency Hangzhou is a venerable staple in the luxury hotel options of Hangzhou. While facing stiff competition from other sumptuous hotels that seem to pop up on a monthly basis, such as Wyndham Grand Royale and soon-to-be launched Marriott, no one can beat the locale of the Hyatt. Situated in the heart of luxury shopping area close to West Lake, the premier tourist attraction of Hangzhou, the Hyatt is a perfect option for tourists and business people alike. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Café, the Western restaurant located on the first floor of the hotel.

The Westin Financial Inspired Brunch at Senses (RMB368) is the premiere brunch of Beijing. It sets the bar for all the other hotel brunches and shadows them in its aura.
A buzzing, vibrant and exciting atmosphere of open space and light, the room is a glow with gorgeous displays of epic culinary stations. Immediately catching the eye is the fully presented Australian Wagyu beef, followed by the outdoor station of the best grilled meats of any of the brunches. Including juicy lambs and chops amongst the variety of peppered tender meats and gourmet sauces, the meats are high caliber.
