End 2010 and start 2011 with great food and drinks this weekend in Beijing. Friday night has lots of dinners: Mosto has a five-course dinner with a Champagne toast. Brasserie Flo is offering a four-course meal with a great lucky draw. TERRA's throwing a party with a four-course meal and free-flow bubbly. Celebrate New Year's Eve the Spanish way, by eating 12 grapes at midnight, and drinking lots of cava, at Olé. Or, toast the new year overlooking Tian'anmen Square after a seven-course dinner at Capital M.
The next day, as well as on Sunday, there are several brunches around town to help you recover from the party the night before. Sip on bloody Marys at SALT or hit up the buffet at the Rennaissance Beijing Capital Hotel's BLD Cafe. Alternately, check out our recommendations for Beijing's best hangover-cure meals, including fresh, healthy smoothies and greasy, alcohol-absorbing breakfasts.
Also, to celebrate New Year's, the Wine Republic is offering 15 percent off Champagne and 20 percent off sparkling wines through the end of January.
Happy New Year!
