Avant

Shenzhen, China

Shenzhen’s avant-garde restaurant transforms dining into an immersive journey, inviting guests to explore a captivating fusion of flavours and experiences

 

Avant, delivers a bold, innovative approach to fine dining, seamlessly blending culinary traditions and techniques to craft dishes that defy borders while remaining attuned to the Chinese palate. The restaurant’s avant-garde philosophy is embodied in its seasonal menu, which showcases imaginative creations like The Act of Koji—blue cheese-marinated Wagyu elevated by the deep umami of shoyu koji fermented soy sauce—and a chateaubriand pithivier, where the richness of the beef is infused with Chinese spices and served alongside tripe and daikon. Each dish is a masterclass in balancing complexity with subtlety.
