After a three-year hiatus, the celebrated French establishment Brasserie on the Eighth has officially reopened its doors at the Conrad Hong Kong in Admiralty. The restaurant returns to the city’s dining scene with a refreshed commitment to traditional Gallic flavors, offering an elevated menu that pairs sophisticated culinary techniques with one of the most striking urban vistas in the district.
Located on the eighth floor of the luxury hotel, the venue features floor-to-ceiling glass windows that provide diners with panoramic views of the Hong Kong skyline. The interior has been thoughtfully redesigned with light wood accents and soft, ambient lighting to create an atmosphere that is both cozy and refined. For those seeking intimacy for celebrations or corporate gatherings, the restaurant also introduces private dining rooms that ensure a high level of exclusivity.
A Symphony of Sea and Land
The reopening menu is anchored by the Grand Seafood Platter ($1,080), a lavish selection designed for connoisseurs. The platter showcases premium harvests including Boston lobster, Japanese king crab legs, seasonal French oysters, and rare Spanish red prawns, alongside American scallops and Dutch mussels.
Signature starters remain a highlight of the experience. The Traditional Escargots ($230) are baked to perfection with a fragrant blend of herbs, garlic, and butter, while the Beef Tartare ($280) offers a bright, seasoned palate-cleanser served with crisp bread. Soup lovers should not miss the Signature Lobster Bisque ($180), a rich essence simmered for six hours using fresh Boston lobster, coral, and shrimp oil to achieve a deep, maritime complexity.
For the main course, the restaurant offers diverse options:
- Pan-Seared Sea Bass ($380): Served with caviar and a delicate broad bean mousse.
- Australian South T-Bone Steak ($1,450 for two): A charcoal-grilled centerpiece featuring a charred crust and succulent interior.
- French Charolais Fillet ($820): An 8-ounce cut prized for its robust beefy flavor and tender texture.
- U.S. Tomahawk ($1,950): An impressive sharing portion suitable for three to four guests.
Accessible Luxury: The Tasting Menu
To welcome returning patrons, Brasserie on the Eighth is introducing a Four-Course Tasting Dinner Menu priced competitively at HK$688 per person. This curated experience allows guests to select from appetizers such as marinated scallops with endive or pan-seared foie gras with cherry compote. Main course selections include U.S. Sirloin with red wine mustard sauce or roasted sea bass with chanterelle mushroom sauce, concluding with classic desserts and petit fours.
The dessert menu provides a nostalgic finish with a Made-to-Order Soufflé ($160), boasting a crisp exterior and airy center, and the Vanilla Crème Brûlée ($160), enhanced by almond crumbles and sea salt caramel ice cream.
Whether for a romantic milestone or a professional engagement, the revival of Brasserie on the Eighth restores a quintessential French dining destination to the heart of Admiralty.
