Speaking of restaurants at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, one might first think of the more well-known names such as Tiffin, One Harbour Road or the Grand Hyatt Steakhouse. Nevertheless, its Italian restaurant Grissini also offers decent food and great service. Definitely worth visiting. 👍🏻Weekday lunch sets are offered at $420 for two courses and $480 for three courses.1️⃣ ANTIPASTI DALLA DISPENSA (Starter)🐟 CARPACCIO DI RICCIOLA (Yellowtail carpaccio, eggplant, anchovies colatura, lemon balm) – This app
Weekday lunch sets are offered at $420 for two courses and $480 for three courses.
1️⃣ ANTIPASTI DALLA DISPENSA (Starter)
🐟 CARPACCIO DI RICCIOLA (Yellowtail carpaccio, eggplant, anchovies colatura, lemon balm) – This appetizer is slightly acidic which successfully stimulated our palate.
🐙 POLPO MARINATO (Marinated octopus, potato, lime mayonnaise, celery, nasturtium) Additional $50 – I’m curious how they cooked the octopus because it is surprisingly tender!
2️⃣ PIATTI PRINCIPALI (Main course)
🦞 SPAGHETTI ALL’ASTICE (Spaghetti, Atlantic lobster, piennolo tomato, basil) Additional $150 – Whenever I visit an Italian restaurant for the first time, I must try their pasta. Grissini’s spaghetti is cooked al dente. The tomato sauce tastes good with lobster.
🥩 DIAFRAMMA ALLA GRIGLIA (Grilled Mayura hanger steak, friggitelli peppers, sweet potatoes (150g)) Additional $90 – We ordered medium rare and the steak is cooked perfectly.
3️⃣ DOLCI (Dessert)
🧀 TIRAMISU ALL’AMARETTO (Espresso coffee, ladyfinger biscuit, mascarpone, amaretto) – Tiramisu is a must-try dessert at Grissini. It is presented at tableside, with the waiter scooping tiramisu out from a big sharing bowl and placing it on your plate. The mascarpone cheese is very creamy. Overall a very satisfying dessert.
🍋 COPPA AL LIMONE (Lemon confit, limoncello custard, lemon foam, lemon ice cream, lemon shortbread) – This dessert is served in a cocktail cup which is visually appealing. It is very lemony and can serve as a refreshing ending for the meal.
Looking at the photos, I realized I missed mentioning another highlight of the meal, which is the restaurant’s house-famous grissini! Given the restaurant itself is named after the breadsticks, you could sense how confident they are in the quality of their bread. The long, thin and crispy Italian breadsticks are served at your table at the beginning so you can enjoy it with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. They are served warm. The outside is very crispy but the inside is chewy. 😋
Overall, the lunch set is excellent value for money in a 5-star hotel. I visited on a weekday and the restaurant was around 90% occupied. Apparently this hidden gem in Grand Hyatt is gaining more and more popularity.
