Chef Cary Docherty has made a celebrated return to the Lobster Bar and Grill at Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong. After a brief hiatus, Docherty is back at the helm, where he originally garnered acclaim for his innovative take on traditional brasserie dishes. His return marks an exciting new chapter for the restaurant, known for being a culinary landmark since the hotel's inception.

Docherty’s philosophy of respecting the establishment's rich heritage while steering towards the future promises to enhance the dining experience with both revamped classics and novel offerings. "The Lobster Bar and Grill has been a cornerstone of the Island Shangri-La from the very beginning," said Docherty. "It's about honouring that legacy while evolving our menu to continue attracting both loyal patrons and new guests."

The chef's reintroduction to the menu includes perfected old favourites alongside exciting new additions, such as an extravagant Sunday brunch and a bespoke burger bar. Each dish showcases Docherty's commitment to quality and innovation, traits that have defined his culinary journey.

The refreshed menu features standout items like the Seafood Tower, loaded with lobster, king crab, and freshly shucked oysters, and a meticulously crafted Beef Wellington, enveloped in flaky pastry. The new burger bar also offers unique creations, including a Panko-crusted Alaskan pollock burger and a gourmet sweetbread burger, enhancing the casual dining options available to guests.

Island Shangri-La’s Executive Chef Uwe Opocensky expressed enthusiasm about Docherty's return. "We are delighted to welcome Cary back to the Lobster Bar and Grill," Opocensky commented. "His distinctive approach not only elevates our menu but also enriches the dining ambiance, which our guests cherish."
