A taste of home

Belon, a Tatler Best 20 Restaurant Hong Kong 2026 honouree, has unveiled a new seven-course tasting menu that brings together seasonal seafood, classic French techniques and flavours that draw from head chef Mina Güçlüer’s childhood.

A highlight is the foie gras with apricots and jurançon, which features a terrine of cured foie gras and apricot gelée balanced with grilled apricot, apricot jam and summer truffle. Meanwhile, the braised lamb belly with vine leaves and pistachios draws from the Turkish tradition of stuffed vine leaves, and Belon’s signature 14-day aged duck also receives a twist with the hünkar beğendi, an Ottoman dish of aubergine with béchamel.

The tasting menu is priced from HK$1,888 per person, with wine pairing options available. Dishes on the tasting menu are also available à la carte.

Yong Fu Hong Kong, a Tatler Best 20 Restaurant Hong Kong 2026 winner, has launched a winter menu centred around the gathering, preserving and storing of ingredients. An array of appetisers opens the experience, showcasing brined cuttlefish rolls, wine lees-marinated chicken, slow-braised bamboo shoots and agarwood-smoked braised oxtail.

Seafood anchors the main courses, leading with yellow croaker with Chinese yam cat’s ear noodles before moving onto typhoon shelter-style stewed fish and mutton. A hearty slow-stewed air-dried duck with dried bamboo shoots and taro follows, while a Ningbo classic of slow-simmered rice cake with baby mustard greens and farmhouse-style baked rice with swimming crab brings the savoury courses to a close. A dessert soup of lily bulbs, gorgon seeds, dried lotus seeds and osmanthus completes the meal.

The menu is available until December 8, priced from HK$2,888 per person.
