37 Steakhouse & Bar

Set to open in The Peak Galleria this July, 37 Steak House & Bar is the first Hong Kong outpost of the Roppongi hotspot of the same name, which took Tokyo by storm when it opened in 2010. With locations already in Tokyo and Shanghai, the restaurant promises to bring an elevated steak experience to the city’s iconic location, serving the signature Hiyama Kuroge Wagyu by esteemed Japanese butcher and meat supplier, Hiyama. The new opening will also feature an intimate sake bar, stocked with a full range of Sawaya Matsumoto small-batch sakes.
