Notes Of Autumn
Along with the changing seasons, Cornerstone introduces a new menu to take advantage of the autumn harvest. First up is a series of new dishes from chef Neal Ledesma to refresh the a la carte menu—these include a beetroot and carrot salad with white bean hummus and endives; a vegetarian mushroom risotto with girolles, morels, and lemon mascarpone; and Saga pork loin shiitake boudin (HK$278), delicately cooked and served with creamy mustard mash potato, chestnuts, and burnt apple chutney for a touch of acidity.
If you're planning to pop by between Monday to Wednesday, take advantage of the weeknight set dinner menu. Priced at HK$488 per person, the menu offers four courses with an optional wine pairing for HK$288. The signature dish of Japanese cherry tomatoes with avocado, aubergine and stracciatella eases into a seasonal starter, followed by a weekly-rotating main course such as braised Wagyu beef cheek served with mustard mash, maitake, pearl onion and Swiss chard, and ending with a dessert of the day.
