Garden Lounge at The Murray, Hong Kong, a Niccolo Hotel, has unveiled two new dining offerings, the “Flavours of Canton” Specialty Menu and the “Revel in Heritage” Chocolate Afternoon Tea, for guests looking to start a new modern Cantonese culinary journey this year.

Available from Feb. 10, 2026, the new menu concepts aim to reinterpret classic Cantonese cuisine through contemporary techniques while highlighting premium ingredients and local culinary influences. The launch marks Garden Lounge’s latest effort to blend tradition with modern dining sensibilities in the heart of Hong Kong.

Curated by Chef de Cuisine (Chinese) Kenny Chan, the “Flavours of Canton” menu is offered as set lunches, à la carte dishes, and sharing set dinners. The menu draws inspiration from time-honored Cantonese recipes while incorporating refined presentation and sustainable ingredients.

Among its highlights is the Peking Duck, which is served in two ways: first as roasted duck paired with caviar, and second as minced duck stir-fried with Chinese preserved sausage, mushrooms, and water chestnuts, and served in lettuce wraps.

Other dishes include Crispy Duck Salad, Abalone with Crispy Scallion, Double-Boiled Chicken Soup with Fish Maw and Coconut, and Braised Short Ribs with Dried Tangerine Peel.

Seafood and meat offerings such as Honey-Glazed Deep-Sea Chilean Sea Bass, Typhoon Shelter Style wok-fried Alaskan King Crab Leg, and Stir-Fried M5 Beef with Foie Gras and Black Pepper further anchor the menu for a rich umami experience. Dessert is capped with Almond Tofu Xiao Long Bao paired with a ginger chocolate dip.

Complementing the Cantonese menu is the “Revel in Heritage” Chocolate Afternoon Tea, created by Executive Pastry Chef Jean-Marc Gaucher. The tea set draws inspiration from Hong Kong's rich flavors and traditions, combining chocolate craftsmanship with local ingredients.

Guests can enjoy sweet selections like the signature Hongkong Rocher made with 64% dark chocolate, Sicilian pistachio, and crispy rice noodles; the Gianduja 52% milk chocolate infused with 30-year-aged Chinese tangerine peel; the Black Sesame Tart with Earl Grey tea cremeux and 64% dark chocolate; and the Mandarin combining 35% white chocolate and mandarin filling.

For something savory, the XO Sauce with Boston Lobster Salad on tomato bread, Foie Gras Tart with Amur caviar, Truffle Tamago on charcoal bread, and Norwegian Smoked Salmon with ikura on fragrant herb bread are ideal choices. Traditional Butter & Cocoa Nibs Scones with chocolate madeleines and assorted spreads are also available to complete the experience.

The “Flavours of Canton” specialty menu is available for lunch from 12 PM to 2:30 PM and dinner from 6 PM to 9:30 PM. Diners may choose between a set lunch priced at HK$468 for a 3-course menu or HK$508 for four courses and a set dinner for HK$988 per person (minimum of two).

The “Revel in Heritage” Chocolate Afternoon Tea, on the other hand, is served daily from 3 PM to 5 PM. Priced at HK$856 for two with coffee or tea, the afternoon tea may also be enjoyed at HK$1,056 for two with two glasses of Saicho sparkling tea or sparkling wine. Any additional guests will be charged HK$428.
