Grand Majestic Sichuan

Now open in Central’s Alexandra House, Grand Majestic Sichuan is a luxurious escape from the city. Designed by Sydney-based interior designer Melissa Collison, the grand dining room emulates a '70s-era supper club and has been dressed in marble, silk and Gucci wallpapers. Two bars pour craft cocktails and an Old World-focused wine, while a lush terrace allows diners a view of the city. The name, Grand Majestic Sichuan is a nod to the now-closed Majestic Restaurant & Nightclub, an iconic Cantonese restaurant in North Point during the 1960s. 

The menu is wide-ranging, showcasing everything from cold dishes and slow-simmered meats, to soups and a section dedicated entirely to street snacks. Not to be missed are dishes like Chongqing-style 'firecracker chicken' served on a bed of chillies; the bang bang ji, a classic tender poached chicken in sesame sauce; grass-fed beef tenderloin with 10-year aged tangerine peel; and locally caught red snapper boiled with red chillies.

Tatler Tip

Stick around and end the evening on the terrace where you can enjoy dessert, coffee or a night cap.
