Five Hot Summer Hotel Barbecues

Parrot Cay's Lotus Restaurant, where the BBQ is fired up on Saturday nights.

With just a few weeks left of summer, our culinary attention has turned to barbecues, and how we might fit in as many as possible before Labor Day. Grilling yourself is fun and all, but since charred meat tastes even better when cooked by someone else, we looked for hotels who might do it for us to bring us this list of Five Hot Summer Hotel Barbecues. Know of any others! Let us know!.

PARROT CAY: Our recent stay at this super-swish private island resort in Turks & Caicos happily coincided with the regular Saturday night BBQ at the Lotus Restaurant. In addition to the usual Asian-inspired COMO Shambala menu, the BBQ menu includes Caribbean favorites like Jamaican Pork Ribs fired up on the grill. The yoga freaks may not dig how huge and finger-lickin' good it is, but that just leaves more for the rest of us. Meals are priced a la carte.

REID'S PALACE: Winston Churchill wrote his war memoirs, and George Bernard Shaw learned to tango at this Orient Express property on an island off the West African coast—but all you have to do in summer is kick back and enjoy the Summer Buffet Barbecue. Held every Saturday, the menu includes posh BBQ dishes such as beef skewer in laurel stick with garlic butter Madeira and grilled marinated scallops with sugarcane honey and coriander. €69 per person, including wine and sodas.

The Yard at the Soho Grand.

SOHO GRAND: This one is a pop-up event that ends after tomorrow, so you'll have to get your grill on fast. But it's worth it. As part of The Hunger Pop-Up Restaurant Series, the Soho Grand is hosting an Argentinean Asado in the Yard, served with Sangria and Argentine Malbec. If skirt steak and chimichurris aren't your thing, there's also a grilled trout option on the menu. Reservations required at thehungernyc.com.

KEMPINSKI BEIJING: The hotel's Paulaner Bräuhaus was the first of its kind to be built outside of Germany. And you know how you make a beer hall even better? By firing up the grill, which they do here every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening. The menu includes Canadian lobster, Australian ribeye steaks, tender pork ribs and whole mackerel fish. The Paulaner is home-brewed. For reservations, email restaurant.beijing@kempinski.com.

HOTEL GANSEVOORT: For a Japanese twist on BBQ, head to Tanuki Tavern at the Gansevoort on Sundays. The restaurant is hosting all-you-can-eat barbecues served between 12–7 p.m. until the end of the summer. Beverages include $18 pitchers of Sake-Sangria and $16 pitchers of Sapporo. $34 per person, call 212.660.6766 for reservations.

The Hunger NYC leaves you hungry

The Hunger was a HUGE disappointment. read lots of amazing reviews and was excited to go.. it did not live up to my expectation. the salad was bland and boring (looked like salad out of a bag), the side dishes were cold, the gazpacho was too spicey - and don't even get me started on the meat. it was dry.. fatty.. and gross.

two thumbs down for The Hunger NYC


that's a bummer

are you talking about the pop-up shop at the Soho Grand or another one? (i think they did one previous to this.) either way, it ends today!
