Two-Michelin-starred TATE Dining Room presents a refined new mushroom-focused lunch menu with Chef Vicky Lau’s signature French Chinese twist, serving on Fridays and Saturdays only starting from now until mid-December.
Priced at HK$1,080+10% per guest, An Ode to Forest features six courses of elevated interpretations of fourteen different varieties of mushrooms foraged from forests in Europe and around the region, bridging familiar Asian flavors with refined French techniques. Each chapter of the menu presents a new type of mushroom, from the local King Oyster Mushroom and Swanson Mushroom to Japanese Shiitake and highly sought-after Matsutake. To complete the experience, the tables at TATE Dining Room will be transformed to emulate a deep green forest floor with a centerpiece of real moss and vines.
