Chai, Aera now occupies an intimate 30th-floor space in Sheung Wan. To showcase the expansive Victoria Harbour views of the location, the restaurant stages the main bar against this gorgeous backdrop with an open prep station and floor-to-ceiling windows. The design emphasises light, with wooden accents spanning from the main bar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/private-dining-rooms-hong-kong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">private dining room<\/a>. Despite its compact layout, Aera sports a spacious yet cosy atmosphere for a comfortable meal.

From the moment you step out of the lift, you\u2019re greeted by a quietly luxurious yet homey atmosphere with a friendly, welcoming vibe. Menus rotate constantly to interpret Chef Yau\u2019s signature Nordic flair with peak seasonal produce.<\/p>\n<p>Doing away with a usual restaurant setting, the new bar seating brings diners closer to the team \u2013 whether it\u2019s the chefs, sommeliers, or anyone in between. Connection jumps out as the main focus of Aera\u2019s new chapter, where guests are welcomed not as strangers to a restaurant, but as old friends to a personable kitchen.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_food\"><\/span>The food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_231610\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-231610\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-231610 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/aera-review-the-food-1-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"aera hong kong review the food 1\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/aera-review-the-food-1-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/aera-review-the-food-1-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/aera-review-the-food-1.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-231610\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dill\/ Roe\/ Lohikeitto (left) | Soy\/ Yeast\/ Horseradish (right) (Photography: Celia Lee)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During soft-opening, Aera is sticking to an eight-course tasting menu while the team develops alternative dinner and lunch offerings. My meal kicks off with two amuse bouche infused with representative flavours of Scandinavia. The bite-sized <strong>Rosti\/ Lardo\/ Lingonberry<\/strong> delivers an umami tang, while the <strong>Egg\/ Pea\/ Amaebi<\/strong> presents a delicate, Nordic-inspired chawanmushi \u2013 both offering an exciting taste of what\u2019s to come<\/p>\n<p>A highlight is the <strong>Dill\/ Roe\/ Lohikeitto<\/strong> \u2013 Aera\u2019s take on the traditional Finnish salmon soup featuring kanpachi wrapped in housemade dashi \u201cliangpi\u201d noodles. I always look forward to the bread course, and was particularly impressed with the <strong>Soy\/ Yeast\/ Horseradish<\/strong>. Made with soy sauce, each fluffy slice pairs exceptionally well with Aera\u2019s housemade horseradish puree.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_231611\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-231611\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-231611 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/aera-review-the-food-2-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"the food 2\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/aera-review-the-food-2-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/aera-review-the-food-2-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/aera-review-the-food-2.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-231611\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Celia Lee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Previous regulars will rejoice at the return of <strong>Pattes\/ Malt\/ Lemon<\/strong>.
