Are you very interested in eating such things? If you are very interested and not only want to taste some ordinary food, but also want to taste it in high-end restaurants, then the following guide may be just right. Just what you need. How to get the most bang for your buck at high-end restaurants

Ctrip Black Diamond Exclusive Tasting Event

Ctrip’s Black Diamond users have the opportunity to participate in offline tasting events three times a year. You can think of it as, you can go to high-end restaurants three times a year.

For example, currently, the one that can apply is HAKKASAN, a Cantonese restaurant in Shanghai.

This is a platinum restaurant in Ctrip Gourmet Forest (Ctrip Gourmet Forest is divided into five levels: black diamond, diamond, platinum, gold and silver. You can understand that black diamond is equal to X pearl 3 diamonds from a friend, Diamond is equal to X pearl 2 diamonds, platinum is equal to X pearl 1 diamond).

As of press time, there are still places available for HAKKASAN to apply for, so Ctrip’s Black Diamond program is fast.

HAKKASAN is not just any restaurant, it is located at No. 18 on the Bund. The restaurants at No. 18 on the Bund are either rich or expensive, and a casual meal would cost over a thousand per person.

If sold individually, the price of this tasting package is 1,408 yuan. You can apply directly now.

So, should we work hard to achieve a Ctrip black diamond?

In the membership systems of major OTAs, everyone often pays attention to Fliggy’s F4, but in fact, Ctrip The black diamond rights are still incredible.

For example, if you fly HNA's business class once in 120 days, you can become HNA's gold card; a black diamond can be matched to a gold card of Juneyao Airlines; staying 3 nights in 30 days can become an IHG platinum card.

Work hard, young ladies. Even if it’s just for HAKKASAN, it’s worth buying a Ctrip Black Diamond.

After the end of HAKKASAN, the next issue of Xun Tasting is Beijing’s whole duck season. Want to eat at a cost-effective price

Chinese Restaurant Week

The Chinese Restaurant Week, which is held twice a year, is currently in progress. More than 600 selected restaurants in 15 cities across the country participated.

*** Starting from 78 yuan, you can eat at all the famous restaurants in the city, including Michelin, including Black Pearl, and of course many restaurants in Ctrip Gourmet.

Ctrip Food Forest Package

Luxury brand restaurants rarely do group purchases. If a luxury restaurant does group purchases, they will almost never choose it. But instead of selling group purchases, you can promote Set

Menu (set meal). The advantage of Set is that it can help everyone solve the problem of how to order food, especially those who are Libras. Some SetMenu are indeed cost-effective.

So, how to find these Sets? Currently, the best way to find these SetMenu is Ctrip Food Forest.

Let’s give a few examples

Ctrip’s Platinum Gourmet Restaurant, one Michelin star, and The Ritz-Carlton Macau. There is a set on Ctrip Food Forest for 445 yuan. The menu is as follows:

Shiitake mushrooms, anchovies, salt water horns, bamboo fungus, crispy pork, cucumber with vinegar, peppercorns, tofu cubes , Hua_Shang_Gan__, Mountain Delicacy_Japanese Pepper Beef Tenderloin, __Haihuang Stir-fried_, __Exquisite and Beautiful_.

Moreover, some Sets have a reservation function, which saves you the need to call the restaurant to make a reservation.

Beijing Opposite House Jingyatang, a platinum-gourmet restaurant with one Michelin star. The lunch unlimited dim sum set is 168 yuan and the roast duck set is 328 yuan.

The specialty dish of Jingyatang is Peking duck. Jing Ya Tang has received one Michelin star for two consecutive years and has been selected into the Ctrip Gourmet Awards, so its strength is certainly no problem.

Il Ristorante Niko Romito, an Italian-style Sunday seafood brunch at Bvlgari Beijing with one Michelin star and platinum rating, 548 yuan.

Bulgari.

It may not seem cheap, but it is actually a very good deal. After all, there is lobster, caviar, and Bulgari’s restaurant, so it’s a good deal no matter how you calculate it.

With the word "Hui", it means that this restaurant has SetMenu provided. The SetMenu of luxury restaurants is not much cheaper, but it is certainly more cost-effective than buying it directly on site.

What’s more, the key point is that some packages can help you solve the booking problem directly online. This is simply too practical.

Credit Card

CMB Classic White and above credit cards (Diamond, Centurion Platinum, Centurion Black Gold, Infinite Card) have high-end restaurant privileges, 4 times a year.

CMB’s high-end restaurant privileges are achieved by purchasing coupons. For example, these two stores in Hangzhou offer a 500-yuan voucher for 400 yuan, which is equivalent to four opportunities a year to eat at a 20% discount.

American Express also offers privileges at high-end restaurants. On the American Express official account, after entering your card number, you can see which high-end restaurants have privileges.

For example, in Hangzhou, Amber Japanese Food and EATA are both 30% off with American Express cards, and direct online booking is also supported.

Beijing’s one-Michelin-starred Jing Ya Tang also offers a 30% discount with American Express cards.

Hotel group meal cards

Long-term holders of Hyatt Gourmet Club and Accor A+, mainly because meals are cost-effective and can be discounted in half.

These meal cards are discounted in half for two people, 33% off for three people, and 25% off for four people. It is a good deal to eat. You can buy meal cards at all major hotels, just pick the one that suits you best.

The restaurant’s own official mini program sometimes has relatively good set menus, which you can really pay close attention to.

For example, the afternoon tea at Four Seasons in Hangzhou has always been the best priced on the official mini program. Want to eat in style

Chef’s private banquet

Some famous chefs often host chef’s private banquets. Take Hangzhou as an example. The restaurants in Hangzhou that host the most private chef banquets are Four Seasons and Zixuan.

The chef of Four Seasons is Chef Wang Yongwang. His chef holds a private banquet once a year and personally cooks the dishes.

If you want to book a chef’s private banquet at Four Seasons Sands King, it’s best to be a regular customer of Sands Restaurant. Generally, ticket sales start with regular customers, and then some are placed in the mall (Four Seasons’ official account).

It only happens once a year, and the selling price is 3,00 per person.

Zixuan also often hosts private chef banquets. Their chef is Yu Bin, who is considered a god in the catering industry in Hangzhou. I own three Black Pearl restaurants, and then I exported my experience to Ryan at Conrad. Lian is also a black pearl this year.

Similarly, if you want to experience Zixuan’s chef’s private banquet, it’s best if you are a regular customer of Zixuan, or grab it as soon as their official account is released.

There is a rumor that Hyatt is also planning to hold a private chef banquet for Double 11 this year, which is worth looking forward to.

Hidden menu

There are several hidden menus in Yangzhou banquets, such as Wang Zengqi Banquet and Red Mansion Banquet. Even though it looks like a hidden menu, it’s actually not expensive at all. Wang Zengqi's banquet for a table (8-12 people) costs 3,000 yuan, which is about 300 yuan per person on average.

You said that when you invite people to dinner in Hangzhou, the per capita price of all the better private rooms (Jinsha, Ziwei, and Jiexianglou) is not less than 1,000.

Wang Zengqi’s banquet is a private kitchen for ordinary literati. Most of the dishes are delicacies written by Wang Lao. There is no luxury or exaggeration. It is not a big dish. It uses common people’s ingredients, rough dishes and fine dishes.

If the ingredients used in the dishes are not exaggerated, they will not be too expensive. How many restaurants, in order to make the dishes more expensive, sprinkle a few black truffles on the braised pork? Do you think the taste is really different?

But the hidden menu is hard to find and not very good. The only way to solve this problem is to ask more experts in the food circle.

In fact, every issue of Ctrip Food Forest’s Xunwei tasting activities also adopts the hidden menu route, and they are all things that are not commonly eaten on weekdays.
