Newly opened Frantzen’s Kitchen, Sheung Wan – Michelin-starred chef’s sumptuous cuisine
The apple-lingonberry macaron, sashimi of Norwegian salmon and the French toast are standouts at this tiny Nordic restaurant, but they don’t come cheap
There was a lot of hype when Bjorn Frantzen – of the two-Michelin-star Frantzen in Stockholm – announced he was opening a restaurant in Hong Kong. But how could he do it in a tiny space previously occupied by Nosh on Upper Station Street?
Owners of the property, Arne and Helen Lindeman, brought Frantzen over to increase the number of Nordic restaurants in the city, and this one is getting a lot of buzz, and for good and bad reasons. It lives up to the gastronomic hype, but it will leave a considerable dent in your wallet.
We squeezed into a small end table by the window and admired the place mat that doubles as a menu. The dishes are sketched on the paper place mat, labelling all the ingredients in them.
