Opened back in 2007, Bricolage is a quaint and cosy spot which functions as a nice neighborhood brasserie-style venue. Located on the ground floor of a pre-war building, the staff at Bricolage like to pride themselves on their clean and basic style of ’home cooking’ which goes along with their welcomingly simple interior. Bricolage features a modern steel and wood interior set against the original walls and ceiling of the historic building. The entire length of the room is anchored by a cosy oversized banquette. It is not unusual to see classic French films projected on the restaurant’s wall such as Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday – a personal favourite of the owner. The films act more as atmospheric background than actual screenings, but the restaurant makes the looming projector available for private dinners and celebrations. Open for lunch, dinner and cocktails, Bricolage now also offers up tasty Sunday brunches, with a cuisine combination of Californian and Gaillic-inspired gastronomy from executive chef Joe Lau.

Since opening in 2005, Goccia Ristorante E Bar has received glowing reviews from gourmands and food critics alike. Its cutting edge style and "dare to be different" attitude has established Goccia as a thriving restaurant that offers the largest selection of Champagnes and sparkling wines by the glass in the city,  live DJ music, and a fabulous Italian seafood menu presided over by Michelin Star Chef, Frencesco Brocca, ably assisted by talented Sous Chef, Fabrizio Napolitano.  Goccia provides and exciting and unconventional environment that is hip and unique at the bar level and inviting at the restaurant level upstairs. Its spacious outdoor terrace makes it the perfect venue for private functions - an unusual feature in Hong Kong.

Recently revamped and revitalized, the Pool Deck at the Island Shangri-La has been given a makeover that is befitting to a Mediterranean resort. As it was before, the Pool Deck was already a stunning urban sanctuary, with the poolside providing stunning views of the city from within its leafy green-enclosed bubble. However, now the venue has been further enhanced with a much improved dining area, aptly named the Pool Deck as well. With wooden and rattan furniture, the invitingly fresh 50-seat outdoor venue is encased underneath a stunning white parasol, which can be retracted and extended to match the weather. 

The kitchen serves up wholesome Mediterranean fare; with purees, dips and barbecued items served up alongside the usual assortment of fresh juices and poolside grub. Despite the central location, the complimentary wireless internet and the surrounding cityscape are the only two elements reminding you of the city. After all, when dining at this prime alfresco venue, one would be forgiven if they momentarily repressed the fact they were in the heart of the central business district, and that is exactly the intention.

The latest up-scale Japanese restaurant to hit Hong Kong is Eaton Hotel’s Yagura. Opened back in December, the stylish eatery joins the bandwagon along with all the other Japanese-themed restaurants that opened last year. The featured highlight of Yagura is its resemblance to a traditional izakaya Japanese restaurant. Popular for after-work drinks, an izakaya is type of Japanese drinking establishment which offers more substantial food than the average sake bar. Yagura do serve sake and they are targeting after-work patrons, but here they place more emphasis on the food. The izakaya-style menu is designed so that diners can pick and mix a variety of dishes at the same time. 

Translated literally to mean “tower” in Japanese, the handmade façade of Yagura is like that of a wooden turret with its rounded timber entrance wall speckled with small chequered openings. Through these gaps, the rest of the 2,200 square foot interior is revealed. The restaurant features a tranquilising dimly-lit interior which is split into traditional and contemporary-themed areas. There are five main areas and these include a sushi-counter, a tempura counter, an area with a Koagari table, a semi-private room, and the Yagura zone where most of the general seating is set. With the numerous food counters, the aim is to bring diners closer to the chefs in action so they can see their jet-fresh food as it is prepared and served up before them, and that is about the most honest form of consumption you will get in any restaurant.
