Leading Nation Hospitality partners with renowned French celebrity chef Anne-Sophie Pic and luxury crystal house Baccarat in the creation of Cristal Room by Anne-Sophie Pic. The new venue, situated on the 44th floor of Forty-Five, is an exquisite French fine dining restaurant that can accommodate up to 40 guests and has been beautifully designed by the esteemed Paris-based architecture and interior design studio Gilles et Boissier. With its panoramic view of Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour, patrons can enjoy both a luxurious dining experience and a breathtaking vista. It opened in late 2023 and within five months was already recognized with a Michelin Star.
Upon entering the dining venue, guests will be welcomed by a magnificent Baccarat chandelier that symbolizes the harmonious interplay of the four elements - fire, water, earth, and air. This stunning centrepiece sets the tone for the extraordinary experience that awaits at Cristal Room. With an impressive collection of 10 Michelin stars across her restaurants, Pic demonstrates her unparalleled expertise by skillfully blending local ingredients with the artistry and traditions of French cuisine, resulting in a delightful and innovative menu that guests can savour.
This season, the restaurant unveils a tasting menu featuring the chef's signature dishes for lunch (starting at $888) or dinner (starting at $2480), crafted with the finest spring produce. Begin with a trio of delicate amuse-bouche: mimolette tartlet and dill jelly, squid cracker and squid tagliatelle with black garlic mayo and Thai basil, and sweetcorn pie tee with mezcal and mint. Follow with the exquisite Yunnan peas paired with rosat geranium leaf and Oscietra caviar. The chef's signature dish, Les Berlingots ASP, pasta parcels filled with 24-month aged Comté and voatsiperifery pepper is now served with champignons de Paris consommé infused with tangerine Pu'er tea. Another standout dish is the Brittany Blue lobster cooked over embers with coral beurre blanc infused with Douglas fir and rosemary.
