March marks one of the busiest moments of the year for Hong Kong’s dining scene, with visiting chefs, anniversary celebrations and new experiences giving even seasoned regulars reason to book ahead. From one-night-only collaborations tied to Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants to late-night dance floors and leisurely Sunday brunches, this is the month to plan around the table.
Chef Daniel Boulud Opens Terrace Boulud in Hong Kong
Perhaps the season’s most anticipated opening arrives on 13 March as Chef Daniel Boulud brings Terrace Boulud to Landmark Prince’s in Central, taking over the former Sevva space high above the city skyline. Created in partnership with Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, the contemporary French brasserie marks the celebrated chef’s long-awaited Hong Kong debut and the hotel group’s first restaurant located beyond its own walls.
Set across one of Central’s most iconic dining addresses, the restaurant blends Boulud’s refined French brasserie philosophy with subtle Hong Kong influences, from reimagined dim sum to a menu shaped by seasonality, travel and place. Executive Chef Aurélie Altemaire leads the kitchen on the ground, translating Boulud’s signature style into a space designed to quickly become part of Central’s social rhythm, from long lunches to aperitifs and late evenings overlooking Victoria Harbour.
Opening to the public: 13 March 2026

Asia’s 50 Best Signature Sessions
With Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants arriving in Hong Kong for the first time, the city’s dining calendar gets a serious lift this month. From 20 to 26 March, the new Signature Sessions series sees some of Hong Kong’s most sought-after kitchens host one-night-only collaborations with leading chefs from across the region and beyond.
Expect high-profile pairings at restaurants including Wing, Louise, Caprice and Roganic, each presenting tightly curated menus that showcase creative exchange at the top end of Asia’s dining scene. Seats are limited and, unsurprisingly, unlikely to last long.
Bookings available online.
Aubrey After Dark at Mandarin Oriental
When Mandarin Oriental first invited us to Aubrey After Dark nearly two years ago, we were sceptical. Who was really heading out at 10pm for a hotel party in Central? As it turns out, plenty of people. Two years on, this glamorous weekly fixture now draws a loyal crowd for drinks, good music and the promise of a very late finish, and the party shows no sign of slowing.
Much of its early success lay with nightlife curator Marina Bullivant, whose instinct for atmosphere helped establish Friday nights at The Aubrey as one of the city’s most dependable late-night addresses. Building on that foundation, the series enters a new chapter with the appointment of French DJ and producer Hallex M as Director of Music and Entertainment at Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong. With more than three decades on the global house circuit, Hallex brings a more deliberate musical direction, curating each season alongside Resident DJ Julia Marcs, whose intuitive feel keeps the dancefloor moving well into the early hours.
The new season begins on 6 March with Q Narongwate, longtime resident at Café del Mar Phuket, whose warm, groove-driven house sets build effortlessly into the early hours. Momentum continues towards May, when French house heavyweight DJ Fudge headlines the series’ anniversary celebrations.
Book a table, arrive early and avoid making plans the next morning.

Bourke’s introduces a new Australian bar experience
At Bourke’s, the drinks list has had a proper refresh, leaning further into its Australian roots with a mix of native ingredients and more playful, nostalgic flavours. New “Native Cocktails” include the Macadamia and Wattleseed (both HK$120), while a lighter Pepperberry brings a subtle spice. There is also a fun nostalgia section, with drinks inspired by classic soft drinks, like an Adult’s Cream Soda and a twist on Lemon, Lime & Bitters, all around HK$120.
It pairs well with Chef Tara’s evolving menu, which goes beyond the usual bar food, from a standout sea bass (HK$250) to a reworked baby gem “Caesar” (HK$75) and a neatly done lamington for dessert (HK$75). It still feels relaxed and sociable, but with enough going on to make it worth settling in for the evening.

ARGO’s new cocktail menu is a love letter to Hong Kong
ARGO at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong has just introduced a new cocktail programme that celebrates the creativity and character of the city. The ARGO Exploration menu, created by Beverage Manager Jonathan Gabbay, brings together 12 cocktails inspired by collaborations with Hong Kong artisans, neighbourhood institutions and seasonal ingredients.
Highlights include Hong Kong Punch, a nod to the city’s coffee and tea culture topped with egg tart foam, and Dreamscape, a silky coconut tequila cocktail created with Hong Kong artist Tam Mei Yi Amy. Elsewhere, the menu explores seasonal flavours through drinks like the Rooty Slushy, blending rum with sweet potato and raspberry sorbet, and a savoury Pickled G&T featuring pickled kale.
Alongside the new cocktails, ARGO has also introduced a refreshed menu of bar bites designed for sharing, making it an easy spot for a relaxed evening overlooking Victoria Harbour. Cocktails from HK$180.

JIJA by Vicky Lau launches a new afternoon tea
If you’ve been hearing whispers about JIJA by Vicky Lau at the Kimpton Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong, now might be the perfect moment to see what the buzz is about. The restaurant has just launched a beautifully considered weekend afternoon tea, served in The Living Room with views across Victoria Harbour.

Infinity Room Spring Menu Extended
Airport dining rarely feels like something worth planning around, yet the Infinity Room at Plaza Premium First Hong Kong is confidently challenging that assumption. Hidden within Plaza Premium First near Gate 1, the lounge’s Spring collaboration with Ming’s Kitchen has been extended until 5 March after proving unexpectedly popular during the Lunar New Year travel rush. The limited-time menu brings a reassuring sense of Hong Kong tradition to the departure hall, with dishes that lean towards comfort, from the richly layered Buddha’s Temptation to crabmeat and abalone with orzo, alongside slow-cooked Angus beef ribs and a Lion’s Mane mushroom alternative. A classic mango pomelo sago rounds things off on a nostalgic note. Included within a three-hour Infinity Room experience, a visit to the Infinity Room offers a civilised pause before long-haul travel and a reminder that, occasionally, the journey can begin well before boarding.
The experience is available as part of a three-hour stay in the Infinity Room, priced at HK$1,150 per person or redeemable with 4,300 ST Points via the Smart Traveller App, offering a notably civilised way to begin a journey long before boarding is called.

A Parisian Sunday Brunch at Marmo Bistro
Sunday brunch in Hong Kong is rarely understated, which is precisely why Marmo Bistro’s new L’Art de Vivre Brunch feels so refreshing. Rather than reinventing the format, the Rosewood favourite leans into the pleasures of a classic French bistro lunch, inviting guests to slow down and settle in for a leisurely three-course affair accompanied by live accordion music and a touch of Parisian charm.
Led by Chef de Cuisine Giovanni Galeota, the menu celebrates comforting French classics, from pâté en croûte or steak tartare to begin, followed by indulgent mains such as truffle-topped croque-madame, saucisson brioche or a richly satisfying burger Savoyard layered with raclette. Desserts remain reassuringly traditional, think crème brûlée or crêpe Suzette.
Priced at HKD 588 per person, with optional free-flow packages including Ruinart Champagne and Provençal rosé, this brunch offers an easy, sociable Sunday ritual that feels entirely at home within Rosewood Hong Kong’s polished dining scene.
Book a table here.

The menu revisits some of LALA’s best-loved dishes through four distinct culinary perspectives, moving from crab egg mimosa and yellowtail escabèche to grilled lobster with Maltaise sabayon, before finishing with a classic rum baba.

Chef’s Room at Upper House Hong Kong
For one of the most intimate dining experiences in Hong Kong this month, head to the Chef’s Room at Upper House Hong Kong. Hidden within Salisterra’s private dining space, Culinary Advisor Ricardo Chaneton has transformed the setting into an intimate 10-seat culinary studio where the usual restaurant formalities quietly fall away.
The atmosphere is relaxed, with a rotating line-up of guest chef residencies bringing fresh energy to the table. This spring sees Max Levy return with his thoughtful, slow food approach to pizza from 11 March to 1 May, followed by a rare Hong Kong appearance from Manila’s much-admired Josh Boutwood on 18 and 19 April. Expect personal storytelling and cross-cultural cooking in a setting that feels closer to dining in a chef’s private kitchen than a traditional restaurant.
