WHAT’S NEW TO TRY THIS JUNE IN HONG KONG

This June, we are guiding you through Hong Kong’s most compelling and new delights – so get ready to book with us!  From a Buenos Aires inspired steakhouse to a champagne bar boasting 500 labels, immersive cocktails,  the city’s dining landscape is pushing in delicious new directions. Tasha Lam dives into the newly opened and freshly refreshed addresses you’ll want on your radar! 

DON PEDRO

Sai Ying Pun has welcomed a new Argentinian steakhouse, and it’s a refreshing choice for your next romantic date spot. Helmed by Chris Mark and Vidur Yadav, the 35-seat space channels the laid-back Buenos Aires’ classic bodegones with beef sourced from the same farms as the legendary Parrilla Don Julio and dry-aged in-house—75 days for the ribeye, 40 for the tenderloin. The short menu rounds out with chorizo flambé, beef empanadas, and a Malbec-focused wine list featuring a flight exclusive to Hong Kong. Finish with the namesake Don Pedro dessert: fresh gelato, toasted walnuts, and a generous pour of whisky.

GOKAN LAUNCHES NEW COCKTAIL MENU

Shingo Gokan‘s Ice House Street bar GOKAN unveils nine new cocktails drawing on Japanese festival culture, Okinawan ingredients and Hong Kong influences. Organized by the five fundamental flavors (gomi)—sweet, sour, spicy, bitter and savory—highlights include the Omatsuri Banana, a clarified milk punch celebrating the chocolate-covered bananas of Japanese summer festivals, and the Mango Hot Pot, a playful sha cha–infused creation with beef, cilantro and tamari. Other standouts feature the Geisha Espresso Martini made with premium Colombian Geisha coffee from Koffee Mameya and Okinawa purple sweet potato, plus the Black Tomato Tree, a dark twist on Gokan’s iconic Tomato Tree using Shandong black tomato and Shizuoka Amela tomato with a black olive salt rim.

BLANC DE NOIRS

This summer we’re indulging in bubbles and refined bites! Located on the seventh floor of the Landmark Mandarin Oriental, an intimate and glamorous bar has joined the hotel’s seven Michelin starred restaurant collection. In striking black and white marble tones and accented with vintage photography, the space has been set for serious bubbles with champagnes available by the glass and a 500-label cellar spanning grower cuvées and rare vintages. Chef Richard Ekkebus brings you into the kitchen and oversees the food along with caviar topped comfort: think a fried chicken with ranch and caviar, a fillet-o-fish with ravigote mayo, and Beaufort gougères. There’s also artisanal charcuterie sliced tableside on a Berkel and a Hokkaido milk soft serve with olive oil and Maldon salt.

ARGO’S NEW “EXPLORATION” MENU

Four Seasons’ perennially ranked bar (No. 11 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025) has turned the spotlight, dropping a new cocktail menu to try now. Under beverage manager Jonathan Gabbay, the 12-drink Exploration programme unfolds in two chapters: the first centred around collaborations with local Hong Kong makers –  from a Chinese medicine practitioner to a cha chaan teng and even a tattoo artist – and the second inspired by seasonal ingredients. 

Highlights include Hong Kong Punch, a cognac-and-shochu number topped with egg tart foam and served with a butter tartlet for scooping, and the Rooty Slushy, a rum-based frozen drink with sweet potato, truffle honey, and balsamic. Ten house classics round out the list for those who know what they like.
