Ready to Have a Ssssuperb Chinese New Year? If you’re not starting the Year of the Snake with good food, are you even doing it right? Demon Duck at Banyan Tree Dubai is bringing all the festive flavours this Chinese New Year with a tasting menu that's equal parts luxurious and playful. From January 27th to February 2nd, dive into a mouthwatering journey of dishes that honour tradition with a modern twist.


At AED 620 per person for food and soft beverages (or AED 820 if you fancy the full house beverage upgrade), this exclusive experience is just the way you want to start the year—on a high note (and we mean that literally, because the food is that good). Trust us, your taste buds will be doing the lion dance in celebration!

Let's talk about the menu: Chef Alvin Leung’s carefully crafted dishes bring both symbolism and swagger to the table. Your feast kicks off with the Low Hei Salmon Salad, a dish that symbolizes prosperity, served in a totally fresh, vibrant style. Next, you'll dive into a dim sum basket that’s as playful as it is indulgent—wild mushroom fun guo, delicate scallop dumplings, and chicken with black truffle that’ll make you feel like you’re eating in a fine-dining wonderland.


Then, prepare for the real showstopper: the slow-roasted Demon Duck. Aged 14 days for maximum flavour, this beauty comes with house-made duck sauce and condiments that’ll have you questioning all your previous duck experiences. Oh, and did we mention grilled lobster with laksa chawanmushi, Wagyu beef with black pepper sauce, and stir-fry Long Life Noodles? Talk about a lucky combination of luxury and tradition, wrapped up in every bite!

The restaurant will be transformed into a vibrant celebration, and on January 28th and 29th, get ready to watch the Lion Dance performance that’ll leave you in awe. Because what’s a Chinese New Year celebration without a little lion-action, right? If you’re rolling deep (five or more people, that is), you’ll get 25% off the tasting menu. So round up your crew, make it a group of legends, and enjoy the ultimate feast together.


This isn’t just a dinner; it’s an experience of the year! With the exclusive tasting menu available from January 27th to February 2nd, make sure you don’t miss your chance to be part of this festive extravaganza. Whether you’re a food lover, culture enthusiast, or just here for the lion dance (we don’t judge), Demon Duck is where you want to be.
