La Vie by Thomas Bühner

In a palette of muted greens and greys, the lofty space is a masterclass in understated elegance. La Vie is managed by German chef Bühner and a Hong Kong chef presides in the kitchen. The prix-fixe reimagines European classics using locally sourced ingredients – dishes are elaborate and visually striking. Game, such as New Zealand venison, is prepared with aplomb and finesse. Desserts such as the chocolate tart end the meal on a high note.
