New Restaurants

The Flying Elk

Foodies of Hong Kong get ready, as 3-star Michelin restaurateur Björn Frantzén is getting ready to open the up a brand new dining experience in the city next month. Famed for Frantzén restaurant in Sweden, along with The Flying Elk in Stockholm, the new HK eatery aims to encapsulate the same spirit of the original concept in Stockholm, with a menu unique to its location. Opening on Saturday, 16 June, (though taking reservations already!) the restaurant best describes itself as a modern Nordic Cabin, serving genuine food with influences from all over Europe. The sharing style dishes will be served straight from the fire pit, and include items such as Halibut paired with a sherry and beurre noisette hollandaise, pork belly, broccoli and hazelnut; and Roasted Elk Sirloin, served with Frantzén “hot sauce”, bitter salad and jus roti.

Fukuro

Having just opened its doors on Tuesday 15 May, Fukuro is already a solid option in our books. It pays homage to traditional izakaya restaurants with killer hospitality, food and drinks. From the traditional overflow pour of sake, to the articulate and knowledgable staff, the superb hospitality shines just as bright as the fab food at Fukuro. In traditional izakaya fashion, the dishes are small but plentiful and are paired with a striking drinks list that can hold its own, while still allowing the food to stand out. Japanese for the nocturnal owl, “Fukuro” will have you shouting its name long into the night after an evening of quality drinking and dining, with all the other like-minded night-owls in the room. Read our full Fukuro review for more details!
