A new era of Duddell’s

After a transformative month-long renovation, Duddell’s, the One MICHELIN-starred Cantonese institution by JIA Group, welcomes guests back into a reimagined space by André Fu Studio, where Master Chef Chan Yau Leung presents a refreshed culinary program alongside a vibrant new cocktail collection by Beverage Manager Mario Calderone and an expanded two-floor experience designed for both heritage diners and a new generation of guests.

Two Floors, Two Experiences

3/F Duddell’s Main Dining Room 都爹利會館正廳

The 3/F remains the heart of Duddell’s MICHELIN-starred refined Cantonese experience, where guests can enjoy weekday lunch sets, dim sum, à la carte selections, and multi-tiered tasting menus in a refined dining room inspired by a 1920s art collector’s home. The Main Dining Room offers a classic, elegant setting for Cantonese gastronomy at its highest level.

4/F The Upper Room at Duddell’s 都爹利樓上樓

The 4/F now becomes The Upper Room at Duddell’s, a newly renovated space that introduces a casual, all-day social experience, with an emphasis on all-day and night dim sum, heritage-inspired small plates, creative cocktails, and weekend brunch that can be enjoyed indoors or on the renowned outdoor terrace of The Upper Room at Duddell’s. The Upper Room offers a vibrant, lounge-like setting where guests can enjoy Duddell’s signatures and playful new creations from lunch through late night.

A Reimagined Art Collector’s Maison by André Fu

Duddell’s reopens as a reimagined art collector’s maison by acclaimed designer André Fu, inspired by Lingnan culture and the 1920s Diao Lou watchtowers of Guangdong. Blending East and West with a modern Hong Kong sensibility, the duplex interior layers craft and history through Chinoiserie pendants, stained-glass screens, and a whimsical palette of pistachio green, mineral blue, and buttery yellow set against terrazzo, oak, and stucco. The result is a timeless yet contemporary space where heritage, art, and culinary craft meet in harmony.

3/F Duddell’s Main Dining Room Culinary Experience

Duddell’s 3/F reopening menu celebrates Cantonese heritage with dishes that balance traditional craftsmanship and modern refinement. Highlights include the Sautéed Prawn with Chicken Essence (HK$498/person), made from a broth of slow-steamed chickens; the Crispy Stuffed Crab Shell (HK$328/person), a refined take on a banquet classic; and the Braised Australian 3-Head Abalone with Goose Palm (HK$698/person), embodying the Cantonese belief that “slow work yields deep flavour.” Signatures also return, from the Crispy Fried Chicken (from HK$368) marinated and “hang-fried” to perfection, to the Steamed Flower Crab with Chencun Noodles and Plum (MP), a delicate balance of sweet, tart, and silky textures.

Nine Cocktails of Energy & Intention at The Upper Room

The new cocktail programme at Duddell’s, curated by Mario Calderone, JIA Group’s Group Beverage Manager, is a deeply intentional and culturally rooted experience inspired by the Ba Gua (八卦) – the ancient Feng Shui map of life’s energies. Each of the nine new signature cocktails represents a distinct energy – joy, stillness, passion, flow, or creativity – inviting guests to choose their drink by intention, not just flavour. Priced at HK$138 each, the collection highlights local ingredients and refined modern techniques, weaving in flavours like jasmine, osmanthus, tangerine, ginseng honey, and baijiu to reflect Cantonese heritage in a modern context.

The nine cocktails of energy and intention include:

1. Lake– Jasmine vodka, elderflower, peach, bergamot mist – Light and joyful
2. Heaven– Rum, coconut falernum, pineapple, clarified citrus, spiced banana – Tropical escape
3. Fire– Vodka, ginger liqueur, ginseng honey, lemon, egg white – A quiet spark
4. Thunder– Whisky, pistachio orgeat, Frangelico, lemon, peach – Bold and nutty storm
5. Wind– Cognac, mandarin cordial, Champagne, red olive oil – Flowing prosperity
6. Water– Osmanthus rum, tangerine, clarified citrus, Yellow Chartreuse – Bright and saline
7. Mountain– Cognac, PX sherry, house vermouth, tobacco bitters – Contemplative classic
8. The Infinite– Mezcal, apple, elderflower, sakura milk punch, smoked tableside – Unity and ritual
9. Earth– Baijiu, Aperol, pineapple, osmanthus honey, lime – Bittersweet harmony

A Zero-Proof Essence Collection (HK$98 each) mirrors the same thoughtful approach, offering tea-driven alternatives like Verve (green apple & fragrant oolong), Stillgold (mango, passionfruit & Seedlip Spice), and Lucent (cucumber, apple cider vinegar & ginger ale). By framing cocktails around energy and intention, Duddell’s transforms its bar programme into a cultural experience, where each drink tells a story and elevates the ritual of dining.
