Nobu Hong Kong reopens, Mauro Colagreco of 3-Michelin-star Mirazur arrives: 4 top fine-dining restaurant launches in November 2023

The first signs of autumn have arrived in Hong Kong, bringing with them a reminder of the upcoming holiday season. This is a crucial time for restaurants and bars, as they prepare for the influx of customers during Christmas and New Year. It's also a time for businesses to launch new ventures before the post-holiday slump. During the National Day long weekend in October, Hong Kong saw more than a million visitors. However, over 1. 4 million residents of Hong Kong chose to travel elsewhere. Despite this, the restaurant sector was predicted to see a significant increase in revenue. Yenn Wong, founder of JIA Group, is collaborating with chef Manav Tuli to open a new restaurant, Leela, in Causeway Bay. Despite the challenging times, restaurateurs remain optimistic, with a number of new fine-dining establishments set to open in November. Among these is a new venture by renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa, who will be reopening his eponymous restaurant in Hong Kong. Another anticipated opening is the Cristal Room by Anne-Sophie Pic, marking her second restaurant in Asia. Finally, Mauro Colagreco will be opening Plaisance, a large three-story restaurant inspired by the ocean. With these major openings, November promises to be an exciting month for the restaurant industry in Hong Kong.
