Hong Kong’s dining scene is always bursting with energy and new restaurants to check out, and local foodies are always on the lookout for fresh concepts that bring creativity and intimacy to the table. One of the latest openings we’ve got our eyes on is Chef’s Room, an intimate 10-seater dining space that takes over Salisterra’s private dining room.
Under Salisterra’s culinary advisor, Ricardo Chaneton, the new space in Upper House Hong Kong’s modern Mediterranean restaurant breaks barriers between guests and the kitchen staff, allowing for casual interactions and lively dining experiences with an up-close view of the chefs’ creative process.
Additionally, chef Ricardo extends his welcome to fellow chefs from around the world for exclusive dining pop-ups at Chef’s Room, along with hosting masterclasses, workshops, and interactive events, allowing guests to connect with professionals. Currently, Chef’s Room’s inaugural guest shift features New Orleans-native chef Max Levy for a two-month-long residency until May 1, with one seating each Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Guests will be presented with a tasting menu of chef Levy’s hand-tossed pizzas, influenced by his 25 years as a sushi chef and advocating for the slow food movement.
On April 18 and 19, chef Josh Boutwood of Manila’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant, Helm, will take over Chef’s Room, as he showcases local ingredients in a menu that reflects his British and Filipino heritage. Chef Miko Calo of Makati’s modern taco restaurant, Taquería Franco, will join chef Ricardo on May 12, as they whip up creative tacos and tostadas, inspired by French culinary techniques and their respective Filipina and Southern American identities.
