September is a hot month for new restaurant openings in Hong Kong as exciting concepts sprout across the city.
The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong has finally opened its doors, along with in-house restaurants Jade and Satay Inn. Causeway Bay and Wan Chai are hotspots for new places to eat, many of them Japanese – ranging from omakase to yakiniku and kushiyaki establishments – as well as a new branch of budget Italian restaurant Pici.
The culinary developments at Pacific Place mall in Admiralty continue, with an all-day- dining casual bistro from the Elephant Grounds team, as well as a limited 10-seat immersive dining experience, opening on the same floor.
