O’rm
Named after the extinct oreum volcanoes of South Korea’s Jeju Island, this intimate eatery serving elevated Korean cuisine has arrived in Sheung Wan. Helming the kitchen is former OBP executive chef Choi Jun-woo, whose creative takes on classics such as yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) and tteokbokki tread the line between tradition and innovation. Korea’s liquid heritage is also represented in a drinks programme spanning 60 traditional spirits.

Neighbourhood favourite Sooner has transitioned from Sai Ying Pun to Central, re-emerging on Peel Street as Alma &, a modern trattoria serving a blend of Italian and Spanish fare. Headed by chef Ives Abel and Yoyo Cheung, Alma &’s menu features tapas and pasta dishes such as girella de ricotta, presa Ibérica with escalivada, and crab caramelle.

A sister restaurant to Shanghai’s Mo Huan Bistro, The Mushroom brings together flavours inspired by the ethnic minorities of Yunnan province, such as the Dai and Wa peoples, in dishes such as fried white boletus with Qiubei red pepper, and mixed mushrooms cooked “baoshao” style.
