A new fine-dining experience has arrived in Hong Kong with the opening of French restaurant Le Pan at Kowloon Bay.
It is hidden away behind 1920s-style doors in the Goldin Financial Global Centre, a commercial building, reports The Honeycombers.
Covering 10,000 sqft (930 sqm), the restaurant has a white theme – as well as the tablecloths, there is white marble plus white leather seating. Four private dining areas can booked for private events, and guests can book a seat at the chef’s table where they can watch head chef Edward Voon at work.
Once you are seated, the attentive staff makes sure you want for nothing, says The Honeycombers. Home-baked bread in a range of styles is offered still warm from the oven, before canapes arrive.
Le Pan’s offering changes on a seasonal basis and it serves a selection of tasting menus running up to five courses. Dishes include Kaluga Queen Hybrid caviar with sea urchin, botan shrimps and crustacean jelly; bouillabaisse with stewed fish tortellini; and crispy-skin Kuhlbarra barramundi with herbs, braised fennel and beurre blanc.
Each dish is introduced by the servers, even with eating suggestions.
