"Before Shane Osborncame to Hong Kong, he was the first Australian chef to have earned one and then two Michelin stars at London's Pied à Terre. Athis elegant restaurant Arcane, the focus is on modern European fusion cuisine with ingredients sourced from Japan, France, and the U.K. At a time whenmany other Hong Kong restaurants are focused onkitsch or over-the-top style, Arcane is refreshinglydignified and puts the food atcenter stage. Main courses include a panfried John Dory with baby squid, fennel purée, zucchini,and bouillabaisse sauce, and a sautéed potato gnocchi topped with fresh morels, pine nuts, truffle cream, and wild garlic leaves. The Pyrenean milk-fed lamb with eggplantpurée, chickpeas, chorizo, choi sum , and rosemary jus is another mouthwatering option. Dining here isn’t cheap, but the service is excellent and the food is out of this world."
