Good food never tasted this good…

District: Central, Hong Kong
Cuisine:ย Modern European (with plenty of vegetarian options)
How much: 7 course vegetarian set meal for $750 per head (A la carte mainsย from $350)
The Best For: Great for a date night or a girly catchup
Must Order: Theย yuzu and lemon posset dessert

As the name suggests, Arcaneย is a private and discreet restaurant tucked away from the hustle of the city – yet convenientlyย located in the centre of it all (just one of the many reasons we love Hong Kong!).ย Startedย by multi-award winning chef, Shane Osborn, the first Australian Chef to achieve one and two Michelin stars at Pied-a-Terre in London, theย seasonally led European menuย makes the most of the finest produce from Japan, France and the UK. With an open kitchen, a gorgeous wine collection and crisp white tablecloths, this candle-lit dinner is idealย for a date night.

arcane tomatoes

If you’re looking to indulge in a 7-course meal ($750 per head) that won’t leave you feeling overwhelmingly stuffed, look no further. We began with the Japanese Winter Tomato Salad, whichย highlightedย only the freshest, seasonal ingredients. With tangy, peppery notes, the dish was bursting with flavours to really wake up the palette. Just what you need before 7 consecutive courses!

arcane butternut squash

For mains, theย butternut squash ravioli offered a welcome element of comfort food. With swiss chard, toasted pumpkin seeds, and creamy, nutty almond butter,ย the flavours were warming and filling, without leaving you with that over-stuffed feeling. Oh, and if you’re a truffle fan, make sure to try the Poached taiyouran egg with broccolini, chanterelles and black truffle.

With professional, attentive and friendly staff (happily recommendingย wine options), and a quaint-meets-classy ambience, Arcane is definitely a place I’d head back to.

The best part? After all the gorgeousย flavour combinations, it’s well worth indulging in dessert.ย The yuzu and lemon possetย features fragrant mandarin slices, frozen yogurt, and a white chocolate tuile. Fresh and fruity, this treat isย the perfect healthy alternative for those with a sweet tooth!
