Arcane

• Private Terrace Mimicking an English Tropical Garden
  Arcane features a secluded outdoor terrace designed to resemble an English tropical garden, complete with lush greenery and the restaurant’s own herb garden—an unusual and tranquil setting for a Michelin-starred venue in central Hong Kong.
• Contemporary Art Gallery Ambiance
  The discreet dining room is adorned with artworks from the Flowers Gallery (London and New York), creating an unconventional gallery-like atmosphere rather than a traditional fine dining environment.
• Open Kitchen Counter Seating for Chef’s Table Experience
  Guests can choose counter seats by the open kitchen, allowing them to witness the transformation of quality ingredients into artistic dishes—a feature not commonly offered by Michelin-starred restaurants in the city.

The most honored or signature ingredients at Arcane, the Michelin-starred restaurant in Hong Kong, include:

• Potato (for gnocchi): The sautéed potato gnocchi is a signature dish, notable for its lightness and crispy exterior with a fluffy interior. It reflects a fusion of European technique with local tastes, evolving over time to incorporate regional ingredients like Chinese yellow wine and Yunnan morels.

• Mushrooms (Yunnan morels, shiitake, cep): Mushrooms are integral to the gnocchi dish and other preparations, adding umami depth. The use of local varieties like Yunnan morels and cep puree highlights the restaurant’s blend of European and Asian influences.

• White truffle: Used shaved over dishes such as the gnocchi, white truffle adds aromatic luxury and complexity, enhancing the earthy mushroom flavors.

• Parmesan cheese: Parmesan is sprinkled on the gnocchi and other dishes, contributing a salty, nutty finish that balances the richness and ties the flavors together.

• Angus beef fillet: Featured in a tartare dish with bamboo shoots, sunflower seeds, rocket, and parmesan, this ingredient showcases freshness and textural contrast, emphasizing quality and refined simplicity.

These ingredients are significant as they represent Arcane’s philosophy of combining high-quality European ingredients and techniques with local and seasonal influences, delivering dishes that are refined yet approachable and balanced.
