Richard Ekkebus's flagship at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental is a major reference for contemporary French dining in Asia. Its 2019 reinvention challenged familiar luxury-dining formulas through a lighter culinary framework and a more fluid, contemporary room.
The Story
Origin
Opened in 2005 at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental under Richard Ekkebus. A substantial renovation and culinary reset culminated in its reopening in 2019.
Philosophy
Keep the discipline of French fine dining while questioning inherited assumptions about richness, ingredients and the structure of a luxury meal.
Why Important
A benchmark for the evolution of French fine dining in Hong Kong and for how an established luxury restaurant can rethink its identity.
Differentiation
A long-established hotel flagship that undertook a substantive culinary reinvention instead of simply refreshing its décor.
Food Philosophy
The 2019 relaunch removed dairy and gluten from the core culinary framework and reduced reliance on refined sugar, using alternative sources of texture and depth rather than conventional butter-and-cream richness.
Guest Experience
A carefully paced tasting-menu experience supported by detailed service and an extensive wine programme.
Design Philosophy
Replace visual formality with softer geometry, warm tones and a more relaxed relationship between dining room and kitchen.
Design & Architecture
Lighting
Layered, warm lighting that supports the room's rounded forms.
Furniture
Curved seating and upholstered dining chairs.
Materials
Warm timber tones, metallic accents and textured upholstery.
Architecture
An interior restaurant within The Landmark Mandarin Oriental.
Design Language
Warm, sculptural contemporary luxury.
Interior Design
Adam D. Tihany's 2019 redesign introduced curved forms, a softer palette and a less rigid atmosphere.
