The best part of Easter is brunch. Getting all dressed up, and then sitting, sipping, and eating away the afternoon with good friends is a long-standing tradition. Here are some of our favorite spots to celebrate.
The Peninsula Beijing: Easter Family Brunch accompanied by live jazz. Plenty of options across multiple buffet stations, including a chocolate show stopper. A chocolate egg decoration class and egg hunt through the hotel will keep kids busy and potentially win them prizes!
Sunday, Apr 17 from 11.30am to 3.30pm
RMB 680 per person
Find it:
8 Jinyu Hutong, Dongcheng District
东城区金鱼胡同8号

Feast by EAST: Brunch here is always a good idea, but they turn it up a notch for the holidays and Easter is no acceptance. A full buffet, including everything from the traditional lamb, ham, and eggs to sushi, curry, and cake, is accompanied by free-flow drinks. For the kids, there is not only the play area and ball pit, but there is also an Easter egg hunt and an egg decorating contest. Get the family dressed to impress because there is a prize for the best-dressed child.
