[27^th June 2024 – Hong Kong] Just in time for summer, La Terrace by Louise, the latest extension concept to Yenn Wong and Julien Royer’s renowned one Michelin-starred Louise, has officially opened at the ground floor garden lounge and patio of 35 Aberdeen Street. Marrying the freshest and finest seasonal produce with the timeless elegance of French cuisine, La Terrace by Louise offers a sophisticated yet relaxed casual dining experience – all while maintaining an unwavering commitment to exceptional taste.

At La Terrace by Louise, whether unwinding with an after-work drink or gathering with friends, guests are invited to savor enticing French flavors in the plush lounge or charming alfresco terrace setting.
