Mid-Autumn Festival Special: These 3 Five-Star Hotels Go All Out with BBQ at Their Buffets

Tourism Center / Comprehensive Report

When it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, keywords like family reunion, mooncakes, pomelos, and Chang’e are always mentioned, but “BBQ” has now topped the list—feeling like you haven’t had a barbecue somehow makes it feel less like the holiday. This BBQ craze has also swept into the buffet restaurants of five-star hotels. The Park Lane Buffet at Silks Place Taipei, B-One at The Westin Taipei, and the Checkers Buffet at Caesar Park Taipei all offer delicious grilled delights.

Taipei Silks Place’s Park Lane Buffet will launch the “Mid-Autumn BBQ Banquet” from September 15 to September 18, featuring a two-meter-long grill station stacked with premium meats, fresh seafood, and seasonal vegetables. Diners can enjoy four chef-crafted sauces and unlimited Taiwanese beer. As an added bonus, groups of four or more will receive a free mooncake gift box.

Among the premium grilled offerings, the star is a 1.5kg tomahawk ribeye steak, joined by thick-cut lamb chops, Matsusaka pork, chicken thigh steaks, and cured pork belly, among other choices. Seafood options include white shrimp, crabs, squid, and mackerel, while seasonal veggies feature pearl corn, colorful bell peppers, mini carrots, and mixed wild mushrooms—all grilled to perfection on volcanic stones. Guests can also choose from four sauces: Japanese teriyaki, Korean BBQ, basil pesto, and herb mint, each pairing perfectly with different meats, seafood, or veggies.
