Grand Café

China Merchants Bank has a 50% discount on Wednesdays. Dinner at Grand Hyatt buffet costs over 100 per person, which is quite cheap. I came here specifically to eat hairy crabs. I was able to eat as much hairy crabs as I wanted. Although they were not too big, they had a lot of crab roe. The other dishes were just average. There were no memorable dishes, including desserts... It was a little different from other hotel buffets in Chengdu. But their Chinese restaurant is pretty good...

It's a good deal to come here on Wednesdays with 50% off. There's no limit on the number of hairy crabs, you can get two at a time. There aren't many other dishes, but they're all pretty good. The seafood is average, the tiger crabs are not good, the shrimps are not big, and the desserts are also average. The hairy crabs are still okay, and there's no limit on drinks.

Café is located on the 16th floor of Grand Hyatt Chengdu. The decoration is quite standard, the seats are separated, there is an operating table in the middle, and there are mirrors to separate them, which is relatively quiet and private. The menu says that the tomahawk is enough for two to three people. My friend likes truffle mustard sauce, and I think red wine sauce is better.

Needless to say, the location is convenient. The traffic on the upper floor of the Chunxi Road CBD business district, Qunguang Department Store, is very convenient. You can go shopping after eating. The interior of the Grand Hyatt buffet is very design-oriented, and the outdoor environment is elegant, which is very rare in the city center. The buffet is very fresh, and the shrimp and salmon are good. The dishes will change according to the season. The desserts are delicious. You have to eat several plates of desserts here.

Well, I've eaten here twice, and overall, it's pretty good. The menu is quite varied, and the quality seems pretty good. It's a place that's been thoughtfully prepared. The hotel just happened to be having a crab-themed event recently, with all-you-can-eat hairy crab. Just thinking about the crab roe is making my mouth water... so I decided to give it a try. I called ahead to make a reservation and confirmed that the menu would be Middle Eastern, so I was looking forward to it. It opens at noon on a weekend. It wasn't crowded. The Western food counter at the entrance had beef ribs and lamb shanks, which were quite good. Then there were the Middle Eastern pita breads, and a fried dish with hummus that was quite good. The seafood section included the sirloin crab and king crab legs. Honestly, the king crab legs were subpar; they weren't plump enough, and some were a bit dark. Oh, and they had freshly opened oysters, which were decent, but slightly inferior to the Fairmont. I didn't eat much at the barbecue stall, but the tiger prawns were my usual flavor. I didn't try the Cantonese-style roast meat either. The Cantonese steamed dishes were average, the shrimp dumplings were average, but the mushroom and pork siu mai were quite satisfying. Then there were the hairy crabs. They were all steamed female crabs. Although they weren't big, the crab roe was still very fragrant. Thumbs up! They even provided tongs and other tools, which was thoughtful! I liked the pumpkin and carrot cold dishes. In the sashimi section, the salmon was fresh and plump. They also had natto, which I loved, haha. The Chinese hot dishes were more homely. The stir-fried flower crab was delicious, but the rest was just okay. The mushroom soup was incredibly rich and delicious! The desserts and fruits were pretty standard. The pomegranate was pretty good. They even had ice jelly jelly. In this weather, it's worth switching up with seasonal autumn items like white fungus. The service was as good as always. I'll definitely be back if there's a good promotion.

Sara, the head chef of Grand Hyatt Hotel (a Taiwanese friend who has worked at many Michelin restaurants abroad), took me to visit the buffet restaurant of Grand Hyatt Hotel. The desserts were very nice, and I heard that their sushi is also good. Grand Hyatt’s restaurant is considered to be very good among hotels. Chengdu people don’t like to eat in hotels, and their good business was a surprise to me.

As 2018 was drawing to a close, my friends invited me over to celebrate. We sorted out the past year's problems, both resolved and unresolved, and then we ate our fill. The ambiance of this place was wonderful. It snowed the day we dined, and we enjoyed the buffet inside, warm and inviting, with snowflakes drifting outside the window. It was a wonderful experience. I love the window seats. While it's a bit far to get the food, walking around helps with digestion, so I can eat more food, hahaha. Besides the main dining area, there are also quiet booths, decorated in a traditional Chinese style. It's perfect for people of all ages. The most distinctive feature of this place is the desserts. The first and last dishes were both desserts, and we ate them all. Besides the shrimp, I recommend the pan-fried salmon fillet; it's delicious. The service was excellent. Tea and coffee were brought to you immediately upon notification. If the time was almost up, someone would gently remind you. Even if the timer was up, the service wouldn't be reduced, and no one would rush you to leave. A great place for friends to gather.
