BAD COFFEE LIQUOR CLUB Is Bringing Food to Hong Kong Island with BAD BREAKFAST 1Photo by Instagram/BAD COFFEE & LIQUOR CLUB

Something BAD is brewing on Hong Kong Island, and this time, food is getting a bigger seat at the table. BAD COFFEE & LIQUOR CLUB has teased a new location called BAD & BREAKFAST, bringing food and drinks together under its latest concept.

Announced via an Instagram reel yesterday, Oct. 14, 2026, the upcoming opening promises “food to everyone, and of course, cocktails and more.” That’s all the bar is giving away for now. There’s no opening date, exact address, or menu yet, leaving us to speculate about what the breakfast side of the equation might look like.

Founded in 2023 by friends Linus, Tom, and Jeff, BAD COFFEE & LIQUOR CLUB currently occupies a 200-plus-square-foot space inside the Alhambra Building on Nathan Road. The venue features nostalgic touches inspired by 80s and 90s Hong Kong and operates as a cozy café by day from 11 AM to 5 PM before moonlighting as a cocktail bar at night from 7 PM onwards.

Whatever the bar is putting on the menu, this is one Hong Kong Island opening locals will want to keep a close eye on. To stay up to date, follow BAD COFFEE & LIQUOR CLUB on Instagram at @badcoffeeliquorclub.

For tables of two or more, the centerpiece is the Poulet de Simone, Jean-Pierre's signature roast chicken filled with mushrooms, tarragon, and spinach, carved tableside and accompanied by Pierre Koffmann fries, roasted mushrooms, and crisp salad. To finish, guests can choose between a silky Mousse au Chocolat and a classic Profiteroles for dessert.

Of course, no Trois Martini Lunch would be complete without the martinis. For an additional HK$288 per guest, diners can enjoy three expertly made serves that encourage the meal to unfold at its own pace.

Reservations are available online via Sevenrooms, while more details can be found on Instagram at @jeanpierrehongkong and their website.

If pumpkin spice isn’t cutting it this Halloween, Auntie Sweet has something much darker in mind. The beloved dessert brand has unveiled its new Dubai Black Sesame Paste Kakigori, a Halloween-themed creation that taps into the viral black sesame craze while leaning fully into the spooky season.

The towering shaved ice dessert is designed to look like a quirky one-eyed monster, with every serving individually hand-styled by the kitchen team. No two creations are exactly alike, making each one delightfully creepy in its own way.

Beneath the striking black exterior is a mix of rich and nutty flavors, featuring homemade Dubai Black Sesame Paste, black sesame ice cream, black sesame brittles, and tofu pudding. The monster’s expressive face is finished with silky pumpkin cream, while crunchy “Deep Fried Ghost” crisps add texture and a playful Halloween touch.

K11 MUSEA and Two Moons Serve Up a Gin-Fueled Dining Crawl

Taste of GI Ndulgence 1Photo by K11 Musea/Website

K11 MUSEA and K11 Art Mall have teamed up with Two Moons Distillery for "Taste of GIN-dulgence," a limited-time series of 12 food-and-gin pairings running from now through Nov. 30, 2026.

The program brings together 12 restaurants across the two K11 destinations, each serving a signature dish with a cocktail built around Two Moons gin. Gin is not treated as an afterthought or a side character; rather, each place brings a full flavor experience: citrus, tea, ginger, and floral botanical notes are used to sharpen, soften, or contrast with what is on the plate.

At UNAGI YONDAIME KIKUGAWA, for example, the Ippon Hitsumabushi Set is paired with "Moonlit," made with Ginger Gin, mirin, yuzu, honey, and soda. The bright drink is designed to cut through the rich, broiled eel. Yung's Bistro takes a similarly refreshing approach with "The Salisbury Jade," combining Calamansi Gin, Seedlip Garden 108, cucumber, sparkling oolong, lime, and watercress honey alongside deep-fried shrimp balls.

Other pairings lean richer or more playful. Glasshouse Greenery serves BBQ Peking Duck Pizza with "Dandy Butcher," a spirit-forward mix of Signature Dry Gin, Yuk Bing Siu, dry vermouth, red date, and chocolate bitters. At Hearth Yakiniku by ATUM, A5 Japanese Miyazaki Wagyu Chuck Rib comes with a Calamansi Gin cocktail featuring apple cider, black tea, and lemon juice to balance the indulgent Wagyu.

The lineup also includes Japanese, Cantonese, and contemporary dishes at restaurants such as KAIYŌ, Sushi Masa, Dab-Pa, Golden Blossoms, Greyhound Cafe Galleria, VELO, HOW To Live Well, and Shiawase Yakitori.

Taste of GIN-dulgence

Beyond the restaurant pairings, K11 MUSEA is hosting two "Moonlit Sips" guest bartender takeovers.

KT Lam, Bar Director at Rosewood Bangkok, takes over Yung's Bistro on Oct. 9, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. Lam oversees Lennon's, which is ranked No. 7 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026.

On Nov. 13, bartender Antonio Lai, Co-Founder of Quinary, Draft Land, and The Opposites, will helm UNAGI YONDAIME KIKUGAWA from 7 to 10 PM, pairing his cocktails with the restaurant's unagi.

There is also a perk for KLUB 11 members. From Oct. 12 to Nov. 30, 2026, members can access dining privileges at more than 30 selected restaurants across K11 MUSEA and K11 Art Mall, with up to HK$1,200 in dining discounts.

For updates, follow K11 MUSEA and Two Moons Distillery on Instagram. To know more about "Taste of GIN-dulgence," visit K11 MUSEA's official website.

Carmela Hong KongPhoto by Carmela Hong Kong/Instagram

Carmela is bringing the Côte d’Azur to the dinner table this October with Chez Carmela: A Night on the Riviera, the latest edition of the restaurant's monthly Dinner Series.

Taking place on Oct. 6, 2026, the French Riviera-inspired evening features a multi-course set menu priced at HK$688 per person, with special wine pours also available. The lineup leans into the coastal flavors of Southern France.

Dinner starts with a spread of hors d'oeuvres designed for sharing, including Oregano Sourdough Fougasse with Ratatouille, Fried Zucchini Flowers with red pepper and goat cheese, Artichokes à la Barigoule, and Pissaladière.

From there, guests can get a bowl of Bouillabaisse with Rouille Toast, followed by Spaghetti tossed with prawns, bottarga, garlic, and olive oil.

The main event is served family-style, with diners choosing one centerpiece for the table: either Whole Seabream with fennel and tomato or Roasted Lamb Rump with olive tapenade and eggplant. Herbed potatoes with aioli come alongside.

Dessert keeps things bright with a Lemon Meringue Tart scented with rosemary.

Wine plays its own supporting role in the evening. Bottles from Maison Mirabeau have been hand-selected by Simone to accompany the menu.

This limited-time dinner fits neatly into Carmela's broader approach to Southern Mediterranean cooking. From the team behind FRANCIS, the restaurant centers its menu on generous, flavor-forward food rooted in tradition but presented with a more contemporary touch.

For more information, visit Carmela's website or follow them on Instagram.

Looking for your next go-to bar? Hong Kong’s cocktail scene is about to get a major shake-up, as Rosewood Hong Kong has recently revealed its plan to launch a new bar concept later this year. What makes this announcement exciting is that the upcoming bar will be developed exclusively for the hotel with the help of Lorenzo Antinori and Justin Shun Wah, the names behind Bar Leone, which was named The World’s 50 Best Bar in 2025 and maintains the Best Bar in Hong Kong 2026 title for the 3rd year in a row.

The project is slated to open in November 2026, bringing together two heavyweight names in luxury hospitality and cocktails. On one side is Rosewood Hong Kong, which topped The World’s 50 Best Hotels rankings in both 2025 and 2026. On the other is Bar Leone, the neighborhood bar that has quickly become one of the industry's biggest success stories.

For now, details about the venue remain under wraps. Rosewood has only described the concept as "an exciting new chapter for cocktail culture in Hong Kong," leaving cocktail enthusiasts to speculate about what the duo and the hotel has in store.

The hotel has already kicked off a teaser campaign on Instagram for those who want a glimpse of the upcoming project ahead of its official unveiling.

More information is expected to arrive in late October according to the post, so keep an eye on Rosewood Hong Kong's Instagram for sneak peeks and upcoming announcements.
