Feuille

This one-Michelin-starred champion of culinary sustainability has unveiled a reimagined menu celebrating nature’s bounty with seasonally inspired dishes. Executive chef Joris Rousseau has crafted two curated tasting menus, one with 10 courses, the second with 14, featuring highlights such as the earthy beetroot, bamboo and fig leaf with Osciètre caviar, and the spiny lobster slow-cooked in beeswax and paired with French chili péyi.

SummerFest

SummerFest celebrates its ninth anniversary across the Central and Wan Chai harbourfronts, turning the two areas into centres of art, culture, music and sports. Highlights include “Bambooscape”, which showcases the scaffolding material as a Hong Kong art form. Meanwhile, SummerFest@Wan Chai: Sports Playground features a giant inflatable obstacle course, mini-golf, bowling lanes and lots more to keep all age groups entertained.

Green Room

A well-kept secret among friends of The Upper House, Green Room – so named for its interior of racing-green lacquer – has launched an expanded cocktail menu featuring creations such as the herbal Golden Child, featuring sage and lemon verbena-infused Nordés gin with notes of rosemary and pineapple, and the playful Star Crossed Lovers, blending vodka, red bean and yuzu. On Fridays, these cocktails can be enjoyed at the new Moonlight parties at which DJs will occasionally be joined by guest mixologists and perhaps even drag artists.
