Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to make a reservation to try these new menus?
For many popular restaurants, especially those introducing highly anticipated or limited-time menus, making a reservation in advance is strongly recommended as walk-in availability for new menu launches is not always guaranteed. Check the restaurant's website or call directly for their booking policy.
Can these new menus accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?
Most restaurants in Hong Kong are adept at handling dietary requests. However, with new or seasonal menus, it's crucial to inform the restaurant of any allergies or dietary restrictions (e.g., vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free) when you make your reservation. This allows the kitchen to prepare suitable modifications if possible.
How long are these "new" menus typically available? Are they seasonal?
The duration of a "new" menu varies. Some are seasonal, changing roughly every three months to reflect fresh ingredients, while others might be special promotions for a limited period (e.g. a few weeks or a month). Some "new" menus are also permanent additions to the a la carte offerings. It's best to check the specific restaurant's information to confirm how long a particular menu will be available.
