Your Hong Kong weekend food guide for December 5-7
Kick off December with the return of après ski-themed event Chalet des Alpes, a Christmas Nutcracker afternoon tea at The Ritz-Carlton, and Italian specials at Trattoria Felino
Friday, December 5
SoHo leans into ski-lift glamour this winter as Black Sheep Restaurants’ Chalet des Alpes returns, turning a corner of Central into a high-altitude playground of Euro-disco beats, flowing fondue and full-on après-ski energy. This year’s edition is even more immersive, reimagining the cosy wooden chalet as a festive mountain hideaway, with an upstairs Alpine Lounge and games room that invite groups to kick back and enjoy the fun.
Diners can settle in for classic alpine comforts – think mulled wine, bubbling raclette, cheesy fondue moitié-moitié and a decadent chocolate tart – matched with French and Swiss wines for a cold-weather feast in the heart of slightly chilly Hong Kong. Guests are encouraged to dress in their sharpest après-ski chic, and those who arrive in their favourite mountain gear are rewarded with a complimentary shot of kirsch to get the party started.
