China: Hong Kong: Where to Eat: Big Night Out: Spoon

Spoon

A fabulous deck-high view of the world’s busiest harbor; interesting cuisine from the ever-inventive Alain Ducasse; slick five-star Hong Kong service. What’s not to like? The menu is typical Ducasse: a modern twist on familiar dishes, in this case with plenty of Asian influence. Specialties from chefs in the open kitchen are duck foie gras with a pear-ginger chutney; roasted black cod; Australian Wagyu beef; and saddle of lamb on the spit with garam masala gravy and crispy rice.
