Weeknight deals at O'Steak
There's something new to try every night of the week at O'Steak and it doesn't necessarily have to be beef. For example, the week ends off with Sunday cheese night, when you can get 200g of Raclette cheese with cold cuts and potatoes or a 400 grams cheese fondue for RMB 198 (there's also 20 percent off white wines). Monday is oyster night, with Fine de Claire N3 oysters priced at just RMB 12 each. If you do fancy steak, however, on Tuesdays, 1.1 kilogram tomahawk steaks are just RMB 368, while on Wednesday you can order any beef fillet steak and get the next size up for free.
Nadaman at CWSW opens new izakaya Chochin
Upscale Japanese restaurant Nadaman at China World Summit Wing, previously mostly known for fancy set menus, has opened a new izakaya at the front of the restaurant called Chochin (the Japanese word for lantern). Altogether more casual than Nadaman itself, Chochin offers a menu of bar bites such as salmon sushi rolls and grilled Iberico pork neck (although still with high-end ingredients and presentation thanks to Nadaman's head chef Masaru Igarashi), accompanied by a selection of sake, fruity shochu, and whiskey high balls. Should be a popular spot for after-work drinks and snacks with the CBD crowd.

Modern Yunnan restaurant and bar Cravings to Longfusi currently have a great deal for those partial to a glass of wine or two. Open any bottle of wine, and they'll give you an order of chicken wings for free, or open two bottles of wine, and they'll give you a small platter of Yunnan appetizers to nibble on while you drink. Go all out and reach RMB 1,000 consumption on wine, and they'll give you a large platter of Yunnan appetizers, plus a membership card that offers 10 percent off.
Spring Festival reunion dinner at YING Chinese, Jing Yaa Tang, Dragon Palace, and more
Since we're all staying in Beijing this year, why not use all that money you would have spent on travel to splash out on a fancy Spring Festival dinner? For example, YING Chinese restaurant at InterContinental Beijing Sanlitun has put together a range of reunion dinner packages for groups of two, six or ten. Their festive offerings include specialty dishes such as assorted chicken salad, steamed fish with pickled cabbage, black pepper beef, and a delicious vivid salad that guests stir and toss together to make wishes for the year ahead (also know as yee sang or prosperity toss).
There are plenty more Spring Festival reunion dinners to be found around town, from Jing Yaa Tang's Michelin-starred menu to Dragon Palace's smaller menus designed for groups of four to six. Many venues are also doing take-away/delivery menus, including The Red Chamber and Hotel Jen's San Wu Tang. Find more in our events section.
