Our regularly updated guide to the newest restaurant openings will cut through the noise and help you find the best places to eat and drink in Hong Kong this month.
Highly anticipated, chef David Toutain’s Feuille is finally opening this month. Presenting a sophisticated, plant-forward menu, the restaurant’s goal is to shine a light on the beauty of local ingredients, with an emphasis on sustainability, seasonality, and zero waste.
Toutain, joined by executive chef Joris Rousseau, leans on years of working in world-renowned establishments around France and Spain, plus his eponymous Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris, to craft the nature-inspired culinary philosophy of Feuille. In the multi-course dining experience, delivered in a minimalist space backed by concrete walls, raw textures, and wooden accents, the creativity behind how every aspect of an ingredient can be transformed and put to use on a plate promises to be a culinary revelation.
Feuille, 5/F, The Wellington, 198 Wellington Street, Central
For a wholesome sukiyaki experience that will leave you feeling warm, enveloped, and utterly sated, try Sukiyaki Isekuma. Rather than serving the familiar, richly flavoured sukiyaki that has been popularised in the Kanto region, Isekuma specialises in the subtler Kansai style, leaning on chef Koichi Kuga’s special sauce recipe to recreate the traditional family meal.
Well-marbled Japanese beef—Olive-gyu from Kagawa Prefecture and Kyoto Himegyu—is paired with everything from appetisers, seasonal vegetables, sashimi, rice, steamed dishes, and dessert in the set menus. Wine and sake pairings are perfected by sous chef Ayumi Matsuda, who also happens to be an expert sommelier.
Sukiyaki Isekuma, Shop G13, Harbour Pinnacle, 8 Minden Avenue, Tsim Sha Tsui

Order the classic Wow cheeseburger with a patty, American cheese, pickles, and secret sauce, or the Wow truffle burger with melted Swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, baby arugula, and a house-made truffle sauce.

Cinco de Mayo may be over, but the party has just begun at Uncle Miguel, a lively new Mexican restaurant and bar that’s adding to the culinary vibrancy of Peel Street.

Eat your way through a menu of classics, such as quesadillas, fajitas, enchiladas rojas, ceviche, and the unmissable taco platter, with signature margaritas and plenty of tequila shots to follow.
Uncle Miguel, G/F, 49 Peel Street, Central
Experience a contemporary take on Shanghainese cuisine at The Merchants, one of several new openings at Forty-Five in Landmark. Named after the business magnates who led foreign trade during the Qing era, the restaurant is headed up by executive chef Chen Tian-long who serves up a sizeable menu that includes the signature jasmine tea-smoked duck, osmanthus honey-glazed Jinhua ham with crispy beancurd sheet, and stir-fried shredded Mandarin fish.
