Caprice in Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong is shining proof that classic French cuisine executed perfectly always has its place at the head of the fine dining table.
From intimate brasseries to opulent grand dining rooms, fine dining French restaurants in Hong Kong are a dime a dozen. But one name always turns up in any erudite gastronomic conversation – Caprice.
And for good reason.
Located in Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong right in the heart of the city’s Central District, Caprice is the epitome of elevated French fine dining, offering a contemporary twist on Gallic gastronomy, fabulous waterfront views, an elegant and rarefied ambience, as well as irreproachable and impeccable service. All reasons why Caprice has landed three Michelin stars for five consecutive years since 2017, as well as landing a coveted spot in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants two years running.
Which, as it happens, coincides with Chef de Cuisine Guillaume Galliot joining Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong.
You may even spot him in the restaurant’s sprawling open kitchen where he holds court, putting his kitchen team through their paces in an orchestrated culinary dance as they cook, assemble, plate, and issue out his inventive creations.
Signature dishes include the surprising hot and cold onion soup, the moreish Alaskan king crab and crustacean jelly, an indulgent Australian wagyu beef tartare and oyster topped with caviar, as well as delectably juicy lamb from L’Aubrac done two ways (roasted filet and braised rib). Chef Guillaume leans on classic French techniques, particularly in layering flavours and textures, as well as saucing, to tie what seems to be disparate elements on the plate, into a beautiful and tasty whole.
To complete your meal experience, make sure you avail of Caprice’s extensive French-forward wine list and their very knowledgeable sommeliers.
As you look around Caprice’s formal dining room – decked out in modern Chinoiserie décor complete with its floor-to-ceiling bay windows on one end that offer a commanding view of Hong Kong’s busy harbour – and luxuriate in the aftermath of your most satisfying repast, you’ll appreciate why Caprice is always on the lips of knowing gastronomes.
