After three years away, the elegant Brasserie on the Eighth has officially reopened inside the Conrad Hong Kong Hotel in Admiralty. The beloved French restaurant returns with an updated menu celebrating classic Gallic cuisine and an uninterrupted view of the city skyline, offering the perfect setting for celebrations, romantic evenings, and special corporate dining.
A Culinary Comeback in Admiralty
The much-anticipated reopening marks a significant moment for Hong Kong’s fine dining landscape. The space has been reimagined with a light wood colour palette and soft, ambient lighting, creating an atmosphere that blends refined comfort with contemporary sophistication. While the interiors feel fresh, the main draw remains the spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows that offer sweeping views of the city’s skyline. For those seeking privacy, the venue also features exclusive private dining rooms that cater to intimate dinners and business gatherings.
Menu Highlights: From Land to Sea
Helmed by the hotel’s culinary team, the menu strikes a balance between timeless classics and luxurious ingredients. Appetisers include the traditional French Escargot (HK$230), baked in a fragrant herb and garlic butter, alongside a punchy Beef Tartare (HK$280) served with house-made seasoning.
Seafood lovers will find their match in the opulent Seafood Platter (HK$1,080), a sensational display of premium catches including Boston lobster, Japanese king crab, French seasonal oysters, and rare Spanish red prawns. The Signature Lobster Bisque (HK$180), simmered over six hours with fresh lobster, coral, and shrimp oil, delivers a deeply concentrated savouriness that has quickly become a hallmark of the reopening.
Main courses range from the refined Pan-Seared Sea Bass with caviar and fava bean mousse (HK$380) to robust cuts of meat. Steak enthusiasts can choose from an Australian T-Bone (HK$1,450 for two), a French Charolais beef fillet (HK$820), or a generous American Tomahawk (HK$1,950, suitable for three to four).
A Sweet French Finale
The dessert selection is a fitting end to the feast. The Soufflé (HK$160), baked fresh to order, delivers a crisp outer shell and a soft, airy interior. The Vanilla Crème Brûlée (HK$160) features a perfectly caramelised sugar crust, served with almond crumble and a scoop of salted caramel ice cream for varied texture and flavour.
For a comprehensive taste, the Four-Course Tasting Menu (HK$688 per person) offers a curated journey through the restaurant’s highlights:
- Appetiser: Marinated scallop with blood orange, or seared duck foie gras
- Soup: Black truffle mushroom cream, or signature lobster bisque
- Main: US sirloin steak, pan-seared prawns, or roasted sea bass with yellow wine jus
