EAT: Your bite-sized guide to the best eats to be had in Beijing this week.

Larry the Bird grand opening

Migas' new Sanlitun chicken shop, Larry the Bird has been a smash hit in soft opening, and now it's ready to go full bird with their grand opening party this Saturday, Jul 10, 9pm-late. The party will include a secret menu tasting along with deals on cocktail pitchers and craft beers while diners vibe to vinyl. 

Summer terrace barbecue at Hilton Beijing

Celebrate summer with a barbecue feast on the terrace at Hilton Beijing. Every Friday and Saturday evening, enjoy a buffet selection of barbecue food, including meat, seafood, and veggie options, on Hilton's sixth-floor terrace for RMB 268. Add RMB 128 for free-flow Great Leap beer and soft drinks (the beer is actually available every day, so you don't need to go for the barbecue to enjoy it). 

Brunch on the terrace at Bei Commune

The terrace at Bei Zhaolong hotel's Bei Commune is another great option for alfresco dining this summer. On Friday-Sunday, they offer a buffet brunch for two for RMB 388, featuring a selection of grilled meats and seafood, hot dishes such as teriyaki pork ribs and beef lasagne, plus a dessert station with Italian ice cream. Brunch comes with a complimentary glass of house wine. Find out more and purchase here.
