Coming soon to Sai Ying Pun, Brut! will be serving sophisticated tapas and a curated selection of wines. The Spanish-style tapas plates will have an international influence, with dishes on the menu including smoked eggplant and vegetables, and chestnut and acorn fed Iberico 48-month premium ham, along with a large selection of Spanish cheeses. The dishes will all be made using locally sourced and organic produce, with many of the dishes even being vegan and vegetarian friendly. Want to try it for yourself? Brut! officially opens on Saturday, 10 March and will be offering a complimentary selection of tasting plates and cocktails from the launch menu all weekend long (between 3pm and 7pm). The restaurant will also be offering a 20% discount on its launch menu for the following week!

Get ready, there’s a new sushi restaurant coming to town, and this one’s kind of a big deal. With three Michelin stars in Tokyo, and currently placed at number 26 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants List, Sushi Saito is set to open on Sunday, 25 March in the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. At the helm of the restaurant is Chef Takashi Saito, who is known for his precise attention to detail, and ability to create expert sushi that balances temperature, texture and flavour. For those who worry that the Hong Kong export may not match up to the original, we’ve been assured that from the soy sauce, to the rice, and even Chef Saito’s signature mild red vinegar, the ingredients will be identical to what is served in Tokyo!

Opened just in January of this year, the glam new hotel is already home to chilled out bar, Murray Lane, afternoon tea spot, Garden Lounge, and modern-European restaurant, The Tai Pan, but later this year it is set to add two more hot spots to its roster. Opening in the second quarter of 2018, one-Michelin starred Chinese restaurant Guo Fu Lou and lifestyle destination, Popinjays already have our attention. Popinjays is set to occupy The Murray’s rooftop space, and with its panoramic city views we’re sure it’s going to be a hit!

We mentioned this one last month before it officially opened, but now that the new chicken shop has opened its doors we can tell you a little more about the menu. Promising no cages, no hormones and no fuss, head here for a casual lunch or dinner bite, and dine on dishes such as The Heisenberg (with crispy chicken, cheddar cheese, garlic aioli in a bun), or the DG’c Chicken and Waffles (crispy chicken, sriracha butter and maple syrup). Looking for something lighter? Little Birdy also offers quarter, half and whole chickens, served with salad, and rice or fries, and there is also a selection of superfood salads available for those who are feeling extra virtuous.
