The cicadas are calling from the old plane tree in the courtyard and competing for attention with the three-man band spinning out all the jazz classics. As you tap your feet along to Dave Brubeck's Take Five, the first course arrives - a generous seafood platter that puts you in the Sunday mood.
This is brunch at Yi House Restaurant at the Grace Beijing. For less than 300 yuan ($47), the Sunday Brunch here is excellent value for money.
Apart from the seafood platter, you can choose any four dishes from the listed appetizers, mains, Asian dishes and desserts. You need to go back for a week of Sundays to try every one, but the starters and desserts have some must-try charmers - including baked escargot, an organic ham platter, eggs Benedict and a molten chocolate cake. And homemade macaroons.
2 Hao Yuan, 798 Arts Zone, Jiuxianqiao Lu, Beijing. 010-6436-1818.
