Thanksgiving in Beijing

[RealMenJulienne]

Hi all,

I know it might be late, but I find myself unexpectedly in Beijing over Thanksgiving and I wonder if anyone knows a place serving the traditional American spread on thursday 11/26? I'd like to keep the price around 200 RMB and I'd like to have at least turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and all-you-can-drink. If anyone knows a place I'd love to hear it.

Thanks

There are very few places that have all you can drink this year. Maybe its just me, but it seems this year's Thanksgiving offerings are far more limited than usual. A lot of places book out quickly, so I'd try ASAP. As far as I know, the only sub RMB200 option is All-Star Cafe at Solano, which is just barely under RMB200. Chef Too is always a popular choice and Salt has an interesting menu that I remember being sub-RMB300 (I was originally leaning towards it). I ended up booking at the Raffles buffet (went last year and it was okay) mainly because it has plenty of non-traditional choices and not all my friends/family love the Thanksgiving staples, plus its all-you-can drink local beer/house wine for RMB298.

Thanks for the reply modern. Those places you mentioned were booked so I ended up going to Pomodoro in Sanlitun with another American friend of mine. The meal was 180 yuan for a big plate of turkey, yams, steamed vegetables, cranberry sauce and honey, drinks not included. The turkey was juicy and flavorful, and everything was decent but I can't call it a great deal for the money in a city where a good Chinese meal costs less than 20 yuan per person. Par for the course for "Western" food though.
