    What’s New: Food

    Agave

    Carne Asada tacos at Arcane

    Known to be one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in Hong Kong, with one of the biggest selections of Tequila in all of East Asia, Wan Chai favourite, Agave has made its way over to Central. The interior of the new branch has a more refined demeanor than the colourful Wan Chai location, with wood panels, tiled floors and beautiful dark wooden table tops. They’ve long hung to the claim that their margaritas are the best in town, and you’ll find out why few dare to challenge it when you tuck into a Serrano al Melon or Sangrita Margarita both made with fresh limes flown all the way from Mexico each week. The beverages are a great compliment to the food with over 11 types of tacos, and other dishes from all over Mexico.

    G/F, 26 Hollywood Road, Central, 2523 1988

    Special Event: Arcane x Mark Best

    Arcane
    Arcane

    Arcane is doing a one-off dinner collaboration with two of Australia’s greatest chefs – Shane Osborn of the one-Michelin starred Arcane and Chef Mark Best, Executive Chef of Bistro by Mark Best on the Genting dream as well as the former Executive Chef of Marque in Australia. The talented duo will collaborate at the renowned Arcane to celebrate Australia’s greatest produce with a 7-course dinner priced at $1,488 per person. The meal will be accompanied by award-winning wine pairings from the iconic Australian brand, Penfolds, who will also introduce the new museum collection for the night.

    Price: $1,488 per person

    3/F, 18 On Lan Street, Central

     

    New Opening: Steak on Elgin

    Elgin food spread

    The concept behind this new Soho steakhouse is using fresh produce obtained from the British Isles. Head Chef Clayton Ma sources quality ingredients and is passionate about sustainability. The main attraction is (rather obviously) steak, and Steak on Elgin boasts 100% grass-fed UK-native beef selections that cover all cuts, like the Kettyle Irish Salt Moss Cave Aged Porterhouse (42oz, serves 2, HK$1,420). Choose one of six classic sides to accompany your steak (hand-cut triple cooked fries, anyone?!) and order a glass of wine from their extensive wine list to wash it all down. Not sure which wine to pair your meal with? Steak on Elgin’s sommelier has you covered.

    Price point: $$$ – $$$$

    59 Elgin Street, Central

     

    New Opening: Theo Mistral by Theo Randall

    Mistral Interior
    Theo Mistral Interior

    British Celebrity Chef Theo Randall has unveiled his first overseas restaurant, Theo Mistral by Theo Randall, in the InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong. Best known for being Head Chef and Partner at The River Café in London for over 17 years, Theo Randall will serve his simple, contemporary Italian fare at his new Hong Kong location. One of his signature pasta dishes is the Cappelletti di Vitello (HK$228), featuring stuffed pasta filled with slow cooked hand-chopped veal and some pancetta, cooked in a porcini mushroom sauce. If that’s not enough of a reason to dine at Theo Mistral, perhaps the Crostata di Limone di Amalfi (Amalfi Lemon Tart) made with lemons from the Amalfi coast will persuade you.

    Price point: $$$ – $$$$

    New Opening: Sushi Saito

    Sushi Saito sushi fish

    Sushi lovers will be ecstatic to hear that Tokyo’s three Michelin-starred Sushi Saito has ventured out of Japan and will now have an overseas location here in Hong Kong. Nestled on the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong is where you’ll find Sushi Saito, but don’t get too excited.. If you haven’t managed to secure a reservation, it may be nearly impossible to do so until the fall. If you’re willing to wait, you can expect only the highest quality of ingredients (Chef Takashi Saito will select the fish from the Tsukiji Market daily to be flown over) in a polished yet unpretentious setting.

If you love a classic carbonara, the chari siu carbonara is a must order and will seriously have you craving another bowl. If you have a more adventurous palate, try the Typhoon Shelter Crab Linguini, made with fresh crab, black bean, pickled chili and a garlic-scallion take on a classic gremolata. Regardless of which dish you choose, we love that Linguini Fini is paying homage to our city’s local dishes in a creative (and delicious) way.

    What’s New: Drinks

    New Cocktails: #owlnightlong – Absolut Elyx

    Owl Night Long Absolut Elyx

    We’ve all seen (and fallen in love with) the copper pineapples from Absolut Elyx, but now it’s time for the owl to shine. To celebrate the launch of the new copper owl in Hong Kong, Absolute Elyx has partnered with a handful of well-known bars in the city to create and showcase a new range of cocktails. Aptly named #owlnightlong, these handcrafted cocktails will be served for a limited time at Potato Head, VEA, Le Boudoir, Fish Bar, Red Sugar, and Vibes. Our favorite? The Va Va Vou from Le Boudoir for the perfect combination of Elyx with passion fruit puree, apple juice, mint, honey, and ginger.

As if this bourbon-based drink couldn’t get any cooler, it’s actually garnished with Morton’s signature USDA Prime New York Strip (yes, you read that correctly).
