Where to eat in Hong Kong in May: chef Vicky Cheng of Michelin-starred Vea opens refined Chinese concept Wing, Salisterra replaces Cafe Gray at The Upper House, and 11 more new restaurants and menus

As vaccinations are under way, Hong Kong’s dining scene is slowly opening back up, with later closing times and more people allowed to dine at one table. Many eateries that had hoped to open months ago are now finally able to welcome customers in a more relaxed environment.

This month, acclaimed chef of Michelin-starred Vea, Vicky Cheng, launched his refined Chinese concept, while new Mediterranean restaurant Salisterra takes up the space vacated by Cafe Gray in The Upper House. Read on to discover more exciting concepts just launched in our fair city.

New Opening: Wing

Vicky Cheng, chef of Michelin-starred Vea, dug deep into his Chinese roots for his take on refined Chinese cuisine. Taking inspiration from the eight culinary traditions of China, chef Cheng will respect traditional disciplines during preparation while adding new techniques and combinations. Diners can look forward to dishes like crispy skin sugar cane-glazed crispy pigeon, chopped chilli fish maw and king crab congee with chicken oil.

New Opening: Salisterra

The city collectively shed a tear when it was announced that Cafe Gray on the 49th floor of The Upper House would close. Taking its place though is the much anticipated Salisterra, a Mediterranean-themed restaurant that promises to bring the flavours of coastal France and Italy to the plates of Hong Kong. The decor has been updated with clean marble and jade green accents. Definitely one to check out in the coming months.
