We've been keeping our eye on this for many (hungry) months, and now star chef Yannick Alléno has opened the doors to his new S.T.A.Y. Restaurant at the Shangri-La Hotel Beijing. For those not familiar with this French hot shot, his cuisine at Le Meurice in Paris has scored rave reviews, not to mention three Michelin stars, and he now has eateries around the world-- from Dubai to Marrakech and now Beijing. This is one of the Chinese capital's most anticipated restaurant openings... So it's little wonder we are drooling over the hotel's new Gourmet Package. Here's why: You get to savor a Beijing culinary journey personalized by the dynamite chefs at S.T.A.Y. Think five-course meal* with wine pairings at the Chef's Table, a guided tour of a local market, a to-die-for breakfast, a dim sum lesson, and a Chinese tea ceremony. And did we mention that the chefs can greet you at the airport... with Champagne? This fully customizable package is available until December 31, 2012, priced according to your itinerary.
