HONG KONG – After a three-year hiatus, Conrad Hong Kong’s signature French restaurant, Brasserie on the Eighth (formerly known as 懷歐敘), has officially reopened its doors in Admiralty, presenting a refreshed experience that blends sophisticated Parisian cuisine with stunning panoramic city views. Located on the eighth floor of the Conrad Hong Kong at Pacific Place, the revamped brasserie aims to cement its status as a premier destination for fine dining, romantic celebrations, and intimate gatherings, featuring a menu centered on classic French techniques and premium global ingredients.
The relaunch sees a continuation of the restaurant’s commitment to refined French gastronomy, introducing a curated selection of á la carte specialties and a value-focused tasting menu. Signature dishes include the traditional Sautéed Escargots, prepared with rich garlic butter and herbs, and a luxurious Seafood Platter (priced at HK$1,080), featuring a decadent assortment of fresh catches such as Boston Lobster, Japanese King Crab Legs, seasonal French Oysters, rare Spanish Red Prawns, American Scallops, and Dutch Mussels.
Culinary Highlights and Ambiance
A centerpiece of the menu is the acclaimed signature Lobster Bisque (HK$180), a rich, six-hour slow-cooked creation infused with fresh Boston lobster, lobster roe, and aromatic shrimp oil. For main courses, diners can indulge in the exquisitely prepared Pan-Seared Sea Bass (HK$380), delicately served with caviar and a fava bean mousse. Meat enthusiasts are catered to with premium cuts, including a sizable Australian Southern T-Bone Steak (HK$1,450 for two), known for its tender interior and crispy sear, a flavorful French Charolais Beef Tenderloin (8oz, HK$820), and a massive USDA Tomahawk Steak (HK$1,950, suitable for three to four patrons).
The dining experience culminates with classic French desserts. Guests can enjoy the light, freshly baked French Soufflé (HK$160), characterized by a crisp exterior and airy, moist interior, or the richly textured Crème Brûlée with Vanilla (HK$160), topped with a caramelized sugar crust and accompanied by almond slivers and salted caramel ice cream.
A Setting for Special Occasions
Beyond the cuisine, Brasserie on the Eighth offers a captivating aesthetic designed for comfort and celebration. The interior features a light wood color palette and soft lighting, fostering a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Architecturally, the venue is defined by its spectacular floor-to-ceiling glass windows, offering diners sweeping views of the Hong Kong cityscape—a perfect backdrop for romantic anniversaries or birthday dinners.
The restaurant also caters to privacy needs with separate private dining rooms, ideal for smaller celebrations, business lunches, or sophisticated private events.
Accessible Fine Dining Option
For those seeking an entry point into the brasserie’s offerings, a competitive Four-Course Tasting Dinner Menu is available starting at HK$688 per person. This set includes a choice of appetizers (such as Marinated Scallops with Endive, Wild Salmon Roe, and Blood Orange Dressing, or Pan-Seared Duck Liver), soup (Truffle Mushroom Cream or the Signature Lobster Bisque), a main course (options like US Sirloin Steak or Roasted Sea Bass), and a choice of classic dessert. The menu also includes coffee or tea and French petit fours.
The reopening of Brasserie on the Eighth restores a beloved French dining institution to Hong Kong’s culinary landscape, promising both long-time patrons and new visitors a memorable experience where impeccable French precision meets breathtaking metropolitan views.
