Halloween doesn’t necessarily have to mean scares, wild parties, and untag-yourself-on-Facebook level of embarrassing costumes. If you prefer to eat your way through the holidays, many of Beijing’s dining establishments are putting on special Halloween-themed menus (expect lots of pumpkin).
Halloween buffet dinner at Kerry’s Kitchen, Oct 28-29
Kerry’s Kitchen is fully prepared to celebrate this Halloween with food, drinks, and prizes. Guests will find themselves in a spooky atmosphere with phantom ornaments while enjoying a first-class buffet.

The little ones will have some face-painting fun and build up the excitement to go to Adventure Zone for two hours of thrilling Halloween playtime. RMB 338 per person.
Spook-tacular Halloween brunch at Feast, Oct 29
Dress up in your favorite spooky or silly costume and head over to Feast (food by EAST) for their special holiday full buffet.

Pumpkin-themed dishes at Tavola, Oct 28-31
