L'Envol

Step inside The St. Regis Hong Kong and the mood changes immediately. Wan Chai’s traffic fades into something quieter: pale marble, high ceilings, wide windows and a dining room that feels almost architectural in its calm. It’s a setting designed for concentration—appropriate, given the level of detail that comes out of the kitchen. The cooking here leans heavily on the foundations of French gastronomy. Sauces are given time, and ingredients arrive immaculate. Across the tasting menu, the experience unfolds with a steady rhythm, courses that build gradually, flavours that become deeper and more complex as the evening progresses. The wine programme follows suit, drawing heavily from the great regions of France and presented with the guidance of a confident sommelier team.

Tatler Tip

Allow the sommelier to guide the evening, the cellar is particularly strong in Burgundy and Champagne, and thoughtful pairings often reveal another dimension to the cooking.
