The modern Australian restaurant at the newly reopened Hong Kong Museum Of Art excels with promising potential
After a few visits to restaurants at the Victoria Dockside complex in the past month or so, covering grounds such as Avobar and Rosewood Hong Kong’s Asaya Kitchen, we found ourselves returning in anticipation for Hue, the refined dining establishment inside the newly reopened Hong Kong Museum Of Art.
Stakes are high for restaurants such as Hue, a 130-seater covering over 5,000 square feet of museum space. Its interior is a long and narrow stretch of a dining room, greeting guests from an entrance that can only be accessible by an elevator located on the side entrance of the art hub. Entering the venue, despite its corridor-like space overlooking the expansive Victoria harbour and the world-famous city skyline, the abundance of honey-toned birch wood furnishing is matched with forest green shades. Brass light fixtures and installation designs are best match in colour and textures with the dark brown leather banquettes lining along the perimeter of the restaurant space. The banquette booths are spacious and slightly elevated from the main floor, but the elevation gives a larger sense of the space and a truly unobstructed view of the harbour through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
