To coincide with the 94th Academy Awards on March 28 (Hong Kong time) and paying tribute to its own appearances in many a Hollywood flick, The Peninsula is hosting Oscar Overtures, comprising a special menu and live string performances every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the month of March. Priced at HK$888 per person, the set menu is served in The Lobby and highlights a sumptuous seafood platter, a choice of grilled Australian beef tenderloin or roasted Scottish salmon fillet, and an all-American cheesecake to round out the proceedings. Head mixologist Francois Cavelier will also be whipping up a special “Griffith Park” cocktail (brandy, vermouth, amaro, chilli liqueur) for an additional HK$188. While feasting, guests can soak in tunes from the film scores of classics like Fame, Flashdance, Pretty Woman and Titanic, performed by The Lobby Strings.
