Watermark

Description:

• The first restaurant to open atop the new Central ferry piers, this establishment, with a soaring ceiling, glass panel walls that can be pushed open, and an outdoor terrace, provides unobstructed sweeping views of the harbor and feels like you're dining alfresco even when you aren't, making it a great choice in any kind of weather. The menu, which offers contemporary Continental cuisine, includes such mouthwatering starters as Boston lobster and leeks with truffle mimosa, and house smoked ocean trout with blinis, crème fraiche and capers, but many simply go with the wonderful seafood platter. Angus beef, aged on the premises, is a house specialty, but other temptations include rabbit loin Wellington with braised shoulder and creamed leeks. Luckily, a dinner tasting menu (HK$425/US$55/£28) makes it easier on people who hate to make choices, while lunch and brunch buffets lay on the feast. This is a great addition to Central's dining scene, and for those hopping off or on the ferries, it couldn't be more convenient.
