Restaurant Week is returning with its inaugural edition for 2026! For those unfamiliar, Restaurant Week is a biannual event organized by Dining City in which numerous restaurants across Beijing and other cities in China showcase delightful set menus at fantastic discounted rates.
Reservations are now available for the Spring 2026 edition, taking place from March 26 to April 26. We know that’s actually a month rather than a week, but who wouldn’t want more time to take advantage of these offers?
This edition features 175 participating restaurants and restaurant branches, each presenting exclusive menus at fixed prices across four categories:
- Elite: Price set by the restaurants
- Category A: RMB 148 for lunch and RMB 298 for dinner
- Category B: RMB 118 for lunch and RMB 198 for dinner
- Category C: RMB 78 for lunch and RMB 118 for dinner
These promotional rates let you enjoy meals at some of the city's top establishments, which can often be quite costly. You can filter restaurants by various categories like "Fine Dining," "New Joiners," or "Best Value," or sort by specific cuisine or price category.
This year's lineup includes eight restaurants that have received "Michelin Star or Black Pearl Awards," making it a great chance to try them at a reduced cost! Additionally, there are an impressive 37 "New Joiners" participating in Restaurant Week for the first time.
To give you a glimpse of what to expect for Restaurant Week Spring 2026, we’ve selected a personal recommendation for each price category.
**Category C: uh-huh**
We were thrilled when the wine bistro and fusion food specialists uh-huh managed to avoid closure last year and remain operational. For Restaurant Week, they are offering lunch sets for one person, which include a sandwich and a side salad plus tea, alongside a Category C dinner sharing set for two*, featuring two appetizers, a pasta dish, and a main course.
On the lunch menu, you can find sandwiches like Shredded Chicken with Pesto and Yunnan Chili, as well as Mixed Mushrooms with Three Cheeses and Toasted Chili. For dinner, there are dishes such as Xinjiang Tomato Roasted Pepper Bacon Pasta and Braised Lamb Leg with Lotus Root.
*The sharing sets for two are priced by adding the selected Category's price per person. For instance, the Category C dinner sharing set for two would be RMB 236 total (RMB 118/person).
uh-huh is located at 146 Jiaodaokou Nan Dajie, Dongcheng District.
**Category B: Panorama**
We have long enjoyed the casual French dining experience at Panorama, known for its delicious French cuisine. They are a "New Joiner" for Restaurant Week, offering lunch and dinner sets for one that each include a starter, main course, dessert, and a drink.
On the lunch menu, you’ll find two signature crêpes: the Captain, filled with salmon, red onion, dill, capers, and cream; and the Crepanini, which contains bacon, mushroom, cream, cheese, and egg. The dinner menu features classic French dishes such as Beef Burgundy and Mussels.
Panorama is located at 81 Sanlitun Courtyard No. 4, Chaoyang District.

All of Turkish Feast's locations are partaking in Restaurant Week, but we’ve highlighted their Huamao branch due to its cozy terrace, perfect for enjoying the pleasant spring weather. They offer lunch sets for one with a starter and soup, hot dish, and mini pide or dessert; and a dinner set for one featuring a starter and soup, hot appetizer, hot dish, dessert, and drink. Both menus include a variety of options, such as Traditional Hummus, Turkish Babaganoush, Chicken Kebab, Azerbaijani Shakh Plov with Lamb Tenderloin, and more.
