Social restrictions in Hong Kong have started to relax – and will relax even more in May! What better way to celebrate than to hit the town and try all the new openings the city has to offer? Dining powerhouse Jia Group, behind star-studded restaurants such as Estro, Duddell’s and Ando, have opened not one but two concepts this month, while Tseung Kwan O’s waterfront welcomes a new casual Japanese eatery.
New menus to entice diners back into restaurants are in full swing, with new chefs at Maison Libanaise and La Rambla, as well as a new Wagyu menu in Causeway Bay and Friday brunch in Soho.
New openings
1. Agora
Chef Antonio Oviedo of 22 Ships is partnering with Jia Group again. This time, the Madrid-born chef will focus on contemporary interpretation of Spanish cuisine and a fine dining experience. Diners can expect set menus with dishes such as Verdial extra virgin olive oil cultivated in Málaga served with wheat and red wine butter, to Choricero chilli pepper – a dehydrated variety of Spanish red pepper served with crayfish and nectarine.

2. Ramato
Jia Group has been busy during the fifth wave of the pandemic and has announced a second new opening under its wing. Taking over the space that used to be 208 Duecento Otto, the menu is curated by none other than Chef Antimo Maria Merone of Estro. Ramato is a casual concept serving Italian comfort dishes like dry spaghetti with ramato tomato sauce, home-made pappardelle ragu, and home-made fettuccine with king prawns.
