Causeway Bay – A new dining destination has opened its doors at Nina Hotel, offering Hong Kong residents and visitors a serene escape amid the bustle of the city. The space draws on botanical themes to create an immersive setting that contrasts with the surrounding urban energy. Diners now have access to an all-day menu that mixes familiar international dishes with regional Asian flavors, all within a design that emphasizes light, curves, and natural elements.
Interiors That Echo a Garden Canopy
The restaurant spans more than 3,000 square feet and seats over 100 guests in an environment shaped by oversized lighting fixtures inspired by calla lilies. These elements hang inverted from the ceiling to form a floating, dreamlike cover above the tables. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls allow natural light to fill the room throughout the day, while curved banquettes and built-in planters soften the lines and create smaller, more intimate zones. This approach continues the creative direction of an earlier location but adapts it for a central city site next to Victoria Park. The result feels both sculptural and welcoming, with wood tones and botanical accents that carry through to a private dining room for up to 10 people. That smaller space suits family gatherings or business meetings without losing the overall sense of calm.
Dishes That Span Continents
The menu balances popular Asian classics with refined Western preparations. Starters range from smoked salmon cones and Korean fried chicken to garlic flatbread and beef carpaccio. Main courses include Hainanese chicken rice, nasi goreng, wonton noodle soup, a Wagyu beef burger, grilled beef tenderloin, roasted lamb rack, and king prawns in miso butter. Shareable plates such as baby suckling pig and black pepper braised short ribs work well for groups. Wood-fired pizzas and handmade pastas add further variety, with options like Japanese smoked tuna pizza, tiger prawn casarecce, morel mushroom risotto, and soft shell crab linguine. Desserts close the meal on a lighter note with lychee hibiscus pavlova, caramelized banana, and a signature wood fossil chocolate cake.
Practical Hours and Value Menus
From 18 May 2026 the venue will operate daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., beginning with à la carte breakfast items and international set menus priced from HK$138. Set lunches offer three courses for HK$178 or four courses for HK$198, while evening four-course dinners start at HK$428. Each set includes a choice of coffee or tea and features rotating starters and mains such as Cajun chicken, sea bass, or prime sirloin. A central bar area with warm lighting and botanical details becomes a social hub in the evenings. It stocks more than 20 wines along with signature cocktails like the Thyme Zone and Hong Kong Sling, plus mocktails such as Ruby Groove. Draught beers, aperitifs, and specialty coffees complete the drinks list.
A Retreat That Fits City Life
The combination of sculptural design, varied menu, and extended hours positions the restaurant as a flexible spot for different moments of the day. Morning light suits quiet breakfasts, midday hours work for focused lunches, and evenings shift toward shared plates and drinks. Reservations can be made online or by phone, giving diners a straightforward way to plan a visit. In a dense neighborhood like Causeway Bay, the addition provides a consistent option for those seeking both comfort and a touch of nature-inspired surroundings without leaving the city center.
