Wood-fired steak and wine is the latest concept to arrive at Central’s Elgin Street from the team behind The Butchers Club. Named after the rump cap or top sirloin cut especially popular in Brazil and across Latin America, Picanhas’ uses a Josper grill imported from Spain to lock in flavour and juices at high temperatures, before the meat is thinly sliced and served with South America’s signature chimichurri sauce.

G/F, 27 & 29 Elgin Street, Central

Hong Kong’s newest art institution can be found in the form of a HK$200 million addition to the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Art Museum. Funded by the families behind Vitasoy and Hysan Development, the 19,000 sq ft Lo Kwee Seong Pavilion has opened with an inaugural exhibition around the art and culture of the Jiangnan region during the late Ming dynasty (1368-1644), in collaboration with the Shanghai Museum.
