After a three-year hiatus, the highly anticipated Brasserie on the Eighth (懷歐敘) has officially reopened at the Conrad Hong Kong in Admiralty. This return instantly revitalizes the city’s high-end French dining scene, bringing back a cherished venue perfectly suited for romantic dates, milestone birthdays, and elegant celebrations.
A Setting Designed for Celebration
Located on the hotel’s eighth floor, the restaurant immediately captivates with its dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. Diners are treated to sweeping, panoramic views of the Hong Kong skyline, creating an immersive backdrop that is both grand and intimate. The interior balances this spectacular vista with warm, light-wood paneling and soft ambient lighting, fostering a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. For added discretion, private dining rooms are available, making the space versatile for corporate dinners or exclusive private gatherings.
A Coastal Feast and Classic Starters
The menu is a refined tour of classic French gastronomy. A true showstopper is the Luxury Seafood Platter, priced at HKD 1,080, which features a lavish array of Boston lobster, Japanese king crab legs, French oysters, and the rarer Spanish red prawn. For a traditional start, the Baked Escargots (HKD 230) arrive swimming in a fragrant garlic, herb, and butter sauce, while the Beef Tartare (HKD 280) offers a punchy, perfectly seasoned alternative.
Velvety Soups, Premium Steaks, and Sweet Finales
No visit is complete without the Signature Lobster Bisque (HKD 180). The kitchen reportedly simmers the broth for six hours using Boston lobster and coral, resulting in a deeply concentrated, velvety texture. Main courses cater to both land and sea cravings. The Pan-Fried Sea Bass with Caviar (HKD 380) is delicate and refined, while the Australian T-Bone Steak (HKD 1,450) offers a hearty option for two, complete with a charred, crisp exterior. Classic French desserts conclude the evening, including a perfectly airy Soufflé (HKD 160) and a Vanilla Crème Brûlée (HKD 160) topped with a torched caramel crust and served alongside salted caramel ice cream.
Value, Logistics, and Lasting Impressions
For those seeking a comprehensive yet accessible experience, the Four-Course Tasting Menu is available for just HKD 688 per person. This curated selection allows guests to sample a wide range of highlights, from appetizer to dessert.
