Grand Cafe is best showcased by its superb lunch and dinner buffets presenting the best of western and oriental flavors with genuine Japanese, Italian and Beijing home-style cooking. The key element of the open kitchen is a granite counter incorporating built-in hot plates where daily specials are presented and a griddle where chefs prepare salmon-filled pancakes and other items at guest's request. A complementing oval shaped island bar displays assorted salads and appetizers, the freshest seafood on ice and a tempting selection of desserts and homemade ice creams.

Sesame pancakes with soft tofu and sauteed liver, noodles with braised pork, cucumber and sprouts, five-spice beef and jiaozi dumplings are some of the dishes with true old Beijing flavors that can be sampled. A chef is also on hand to prepare the famous Peking duck whose crispy skin is skillfully sliced and served in thin pancakes accompanied by spring onion and bean paste.
