Modern French restaurants in Asia

  1. A

    L’Atelier Joël de Robuchon

    This red-and-black workshop of the celebrity chef’s three-part wonder in Hong Kong has a tantalising list of tapas (from $300) and a 70-page wine list. For the haute version, visit Le Jardin next door, which also serves breakfast. Le Salon de The, one floor down, has some of the best sandwiches, pastries and cakes in town for dine-in or takeaway.

    Caprice

    In contrast to its rather opulent appearance, this restaurant has a straightforward menu, and the meals are masterfully created from ingredients flown in daily from France. The selections change, but experience says anything with duck, langoustine or pork belly is out of this world. Their artisanal cheeses, imported weekly from France, are the best you can get in Hong Kong.

    Pierre

    The godfather of fusion, Pierre Gagnaire, has created a provocative menu that reflects his talented understanding of food and its flavours; dessert might be a caramelised rocket salad – and it works. The decor, with portholes and chandeliers, is reminiscent of a cruise liner, especially when adding the harbour view.

    Frangipani

    Indulge in delicious, creative fusion-style dishes at this outstanding fine-dining restaurant. The dining room, which surrounds a reflecting pool, is divine, and there’s an equally stylish upstairs bar.
