Zafran Hong Kong – Where Tapas meet Musica, a soulful hotspot on Wyndham Street

November 22, 2013

Discover the hidden secrets of Zafran, a new restaurant that prides itself on its difference from the traditional Spanish ‘theme restaurant’. Instead, Zafran has taken a contemporary outlook, offering what in Spain is called “tapas y musica”. The basement site, a few steps away from mainstream Wyndham Street and just above Lan Kwai Fong, has been opened up to create three unique areas, with an underground vibe combining an informal yet sophisticated feel. The secret garden facade entrance is discreetly located off Wyndham Street in the alley beside Tivo restaurant.

The main dining area is an inviting area with high ceilings, large windows, exposed brick walls and wooden panelling, and seating capacity up to 100 seats for sit-down dining. With private booths and tables for up to six people each, the restaurant also has a well-appointed private dining room that seats up to 20 people, perfect for intimate gatherings or small corporate functions.

Adjacent to the restaurant is a room length cocktail bar. Beautifully lit with carefully selected antique-style bulbs, this area is perfect for after work or late night cocktails. Zafran boasts the largest selection of Cava in Hong Kong, as well as an extensive menu of signature cocktails and sangrias.

Zafran’s third area is a relaxed and discreet ‘tapas lounge,’ which features a bar positioned in front of an open kitchen, where you can sit comfortably and meet our chefs. Watch them poetically plate tapas, made-to-order!

DJs play smooth beats during dinner which then elevate into more upbeat sessions that stretch into the early hours. Zafran’s grooves are rooted in Afro and Latin House to build up excitement in the room, with some Soulful, Tech House and Hip Hop thrown in to get bodies moving later in the evening.

Experience world class harbour views and service at Aqua Hong Kong

November 22, 2013

Located on the 29th and 30th floor of the One Peking Building, Aqua is rightly world renowned for its dazzling harbour and city views. Two-storey floor-to-ceiling windows frame the 360 views of Hong Kong. Marine blue hues surround in the texture of the natural wood floor and plush embossed leather seating is offset with warm yellows and antique brass tones. Guests are offered intimate booth tables or seating on the glamorous catwalk – clever tiering ensures that every table and diner have uninterrupted harbour views.

Aqua provides a dual concept, offering the best of both Italian and Japanese cuisines in one signature menu. The cuisines can be enjoyed on their own or combined. Aqua Roma’s new chef, Giuliano Dacasto focuses on traditional Italian cooking with a modern flair. Aqua Tokyo, serves ‘inventive traditional cuisine’ taking authentic Japanese culinary techniques to new heights, with a spectacular array of sushi and sashimi prepared from carefully selected seafood delivered daily. Accolades include the ‘Ospitalità Italiana’ Award – Best Italian Restaurant – 2012, Tatler – Hong Kong’s Best Restaurants 2004 -2013, and Condé Nast Traveller – ‘Hottest 100 Tables in the World’

Overlooking the restaurant is Hong Kong’s glamorous bar and club – Aqua Spirit. This panoramic mezzanine lounge bar is also resplendent in marine blues and warm antique brass

tones. Centre-stage is the bar, home to aqua’s extensive cocktail list and sporting two large bespoke classical lamps. It is here that after-dinner beats are mixed by Aquamusic – Aqua ’s own team of internationally acclaimed resident DJs.
