Arcane is from the very much celebrated chef- Shane Osborn. Osborn is the first Australian Chef to achieve one and two Michelin stars at Pied-a-Terre in London. I had heard numerous buzz and acclaim before I came in.

Arcane is from the very much celebrated chef- Shane Osborn. Osborn is the first Australian Chef to achieve one and two Michelin stars at Pied-a-Terre in London. I had heard numerous buzz and acclaim before I came in. The spacious 2000 square feet space is beautifully simple, clean and lively (not your typical quiet fine dining experience.)On a Monday night- the restaurant was filled to the brim. Alright, let’s get to the delicious food already.

Butternut squash and ricotta ravioli, cavolo nero, sage and almond butter, black truffle

Butternut squash and ricotta ravioli, cavolo nero, sage and almond butter, black truffle, HK$248 was definitely my favorite dish of the evening. It smelled like…black truffle heaven. I wish I had two plates of this. This was all vegetarian and fantastic. The ravioli bursted with sweetness from the lovely butternut squash and a mild sharpness from the light ricotta cheese. The cavolo nero (Italian kale) brought in a great slightly crunchy texture into the mix.

I loved everything about this dish!Fresh homemade bread and a glass of champagne to start our meal.

Hokkaido scallop marinated in apple consummé with lime, celery, jicama and walnuts

Hokkaido scallop marinated in apple consummé with lime, celery, jicama and walnuts, HK$248. The scallops were simple yet refined. The Hokkaido scallops were plump and fresh in a super flavorful apple consummé with a pop of refreshing zest from the lime, celery, jicama and walnuts. I loved how much flavor this dish- from using healthy and simple ingredients.

Pan roasted langoustines with leek, sweet garlic purée, samphire and sauce vierge

Pan roasted langoustines with leek, sweet garlic purée, samphire and sauce vierge, HK$288. The pan roasted langoustine was nice and plump. It was super flavorful and tasty but I liked the other dishes a lot more.

Slow braised wagyu short rib with swede, green beans, confit garlic and pepper sauce

Slow braised wagyu short rib with swede, green beans, confit garlic and pepper sauce HK$458. The wagyu short rib was wonderful. The wagyu beef short rib was moist, tender and juicy! <3 I loveeeeeeed this.
Accompanying every course was a lovely glass of wine or champagne to go along with it! 🙂

Comte cheese…so good!

Passionfruit cemeux with fresh mango, walnut and vanilla velouté, chocolate crumbs, HK$138. Another great finish to a wonderful evening. I loved the whipped passionfruit cemeux with fresh mangos – really nice.

Dessert Wine

Cannoli and truffles <3 to end the evening with. Loved the hearty bit of cannoli bites! I had a great time at Arcane and can’t wait to come back. Simple, fresh ingredients that absolutely pop. 🙂 Loved it.
