With international jet-setting still out of reach, staycations and dining experiences have become more sought after than ever – especially in Hong Kong. Luckily, the metropolis is never short of new openings and menus. Check out STYLE’s pick of dinners and drinks around town to keep you tastefully entertained.

New menu at La Rambla

At La Rambla in IFC, executive chef Ferran Tadeo introduces a fresh new à la carte sea-to-table menu.

Brimming with Spanish flair, the new menu is freshly prepared using the finest ingredients from sea and land. Del Mar à la Mesa, a cold seafood platter that pleases both the eye and the palate, is a fine testament to that.

Comprised of fresh market catches including Carlingford N1 Irish oysters and Japanese tuna akami, chutoro and otoro cuts, it’s a great starter to share among family and friends. Pair it with sangria to be instantly transported to the Mediterranean seaside. The Hokkaido Scallop en Salsa Verde is wonderfully fresh and flavourful too, unfussily topped with salsa verde and garlic chips and seared in olive oil.

Another of our dinner favourites is the tenderly grilled squid dish, Calamar con Refrito de Ajo, which is served simply with garlic chips and olive oil, preserving the ingredients’ original tastes. And don’t forget to try the Lubina à la Sal, a whole Spanish sea bass wrapped under a salt-baked shell, presented to guests in a live flame-cooking process.
