After a three-year hiatus, the French-inspired Brasserie on the Eighth (懷歐敘) at the Conrad Hong Kong in Admiralty has officially reopened its doors, bringing back its signature blend of refined cuisine and sweeping city panoramas. Located on the 8th floor of the hotel within Pacific Place, the restaurant aims to reclaim its status as a go-to destination for romantic dates, birthday celebrations, and intimate gatherings.
A Grand Return
The reopening marks a long-awaited comeback for the establishment, which has been closed since 2021. With a refreshed interior featuring light wood tones and soft ambient lighting, the space now offers a warm yet sophisticated setting. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow diners to take in Hong Kong’s skyline while enjoying their meals—a feature that sets the venue apart from many hotel dining rooms.
For those seeking privacy, the restaurant also provides private rooms suitable for small banquets or business dinners, ensuring discretion without sacrificing the elegant atmosphere.
Menu Highlights
The culinary lineup showcases classic French dishes with modern touches. Starters include the traditional escargots de Bourgogne (HK$230), baked with herbs, garlic, and butter, delivering a rich and tender bite. Another popular choice is the beef tartare (HK$280), seasoned and served with bread for a zesty appetizer.
Seafood lovers can opt for the luxury seafood platter (HK$1,080), featuring Boston lobster, Japanese king crab legs, French seasonal oysters, Spanish red prawns, American scallops, and Dutch mussels. For soup, the signature lobster bisque (HK$180) stands out, simmered for six hours with fresh Boston lobster, coral, and shrimp oil for an intense, velvety flavour.
Main courses include pan-seared sea bass (HK$380) with caviar and fava bean mousse, while carnivores may prefer the Australian T-bone steak for two (HK$1,450), grilled until the exterior is crisp and the interior remains tender. Other steak options include the French Charolais beef fillet (8oz, HK$820) and the American tomahawk (HK$1,950) for three to four diners.
Desserts are made to order: the soufflé (HK$160) arrives warm with a crisp shell and soft centre, while the vanilla crème brûlée (HK$160) is topped with caramelised sugar, almond crumble, and salted caramel ice cream.
