Rustic Swiss-Italian restaurant Nocino has opened its fourth location in Hong Kong, this time right in the heart of Central. In case you haven’t been to its cosy original Tai Hang branch before, this eatery is a love letter to the ‘grotto-style’ cuisine of Ticino, a Swiss region in the Alpine peaks. Swiss-Polish chef Matthew Ziemski, whose family are from Ticino, has transported the flavours from Switzerland’s sunniest and most southerly region straight to Hong Kong.

Must-try starters include the malakoff ($68), a lovely take on a deep-fried cheese fondue with gruyère cheese and Swiss Kirsch; the Swiss artisan cheese board ($148); and the Wagyu beef tartare ($148) topped with crispy potatoes and a milk aioli.

Since Ticino is so close to Italy, their pasta offerings are excellent and Nocino also delivers freshly made pasta dishes – our favourites are the brown crab cacio e pepe bucatini ($188), the octopus and squid ink ragu Creste di Gallo ($178), and smoked duck leg and roasted peach tagliatelle ($178). Don’t forget to finish with the Mont Blanc chestnut and blackcurrant cheesecake ($68) and a shot of Nocino walnut liqueur for a digestif.

Hong Kong’s notoriously expensive rents, paired with a faltering economy and locals preferring to head across the border to Shenzhen for cheaper leisure activities, have meant a slew of closures in our restaurants, shops, and businesses this year. Unfortunately, here’s another one to add to the list: the Metropol Restaurant.

Sitting on the fourth floor of United Centre, right across from exit D of Admiralty MTR station, Metropol Restaurant has fed Hong Kong’s diners for 35 years since opening in 1990. It is one of the few remaining restaurants in the city that serve dim sum out of traditional trolleys. Find more details about Metropol's closing by reading our blog here.
