The Place
Located on the second floor of the Sheraton Dameisha Resort, in Yantian District, Capri spoils diners with amazing floor-to-ceiling windows that deliver an unrivaled view of the azure waters of Dameisha Bay. In addition to screensaver-worthy scenery, Capri also offers diners one of our favorite Sunday brunch specials in the city: an all-you-can-eat (and drink!) seafood bonanza for under RMB500.
The Food (and Drinks!)
On our visit, we head directly for Capri’s sushi booth, where a variety of rolls, nigiri and sashimi are on offer. The onsite sushi chef diligently mans the station, chopping fresh salmon, tuna and sea bream into elegant slices upon request.
From the sushi post, we move to the on-ice seafood spread, which hosts prawns, freshly shucked oysters, scallops and, the coup de gras, Alaskan king crab. Add a spoonful of freshly prepared sea urchin fried rice to your plate and the seafood medley is complete.
No mound of marine creatures, though, can truly be enjoyed to the fullest without a cold glass of white wine. True to form, Capri’s buffet has a beverage station that offers both red and white wine, as well as beer, soft drinks and juice.
Aside from seafood, buffet visitors can also enjoy classic Chinese eats, including Peking duck, dim sum varieties and noodle soup, which is prepared to order at a dedicated noodle station.
Westerners looking for a taste of home will relish in the succulent cuts of lamb and beef that are served at Capri’s ‘Sunday roast’ station. And, like all good buffets, a selection of fine cheeses, breads and pastries are also available.
The Vibe

Unlike most five-star hotel buffets we frequent, Capri does not rely on a premade soundtrack to set the tone. Instead, patrons enjoy live music provided by a band of talented musicians hailing from the beautiful South American nation of Colombia. Perhaps one of the best perks of brunch at Sheraton Dameisha Resort is all-day access to the hotel’s pristine beachfront and elegant swimming pools.
