Macau adds another heavyweight to its dining map as MGM Cotai welcomes Sushiyoshi this month. The Osaka-born restaurant, celebrated for its two Michelin stars, brings Chef Hiroki Nakanoue’s inventive take on omakase to the city, blending classic Edomae technique with forward-leaning interpretation.

Chef Nakanoue says Macau’s cultural mix aligns with the restaurant’s mission of pushing boundaries. His menus shift with the seasons and lean heavily on seafood sourced directly from Japanese prefectures, enhanced with refined European and local ingredients for layered flavor progression.

The new space sits within MGM Cotai’s Emerald Lobby and draws from Sukiya-zukuri and Kare-sansui influences. A single-piece Hinoki sushi bar anchors the room, while contemporary works by Hsiao Chin and Macau artist Eric Fok add a crisp creative thread. A private dining room for six is designed in Wa-Kon-Yo-Sai style.

For its first Macau season, Sushiyoshi presents dishes such as Fukuoka Mackerel with Tofu Toast, where Kyoto cotton tofu marinated in white miso balances the richness of the fish. The Deep-fried Shrimp-shaped Taro with Hokkaido Sea Urchin leans on playful texture, while the Aomori Oma Tuna Sashimi showcases the prized “King of Tuna.”

Additional signatures include Foie Gras Ice-Cream with Caviar and a rotation of seasonal nigiri built around ingredients like Chiba Alfonsino, Okayama Oyster, and Saga Gizzard Shad.

Sushiyoshi operates by reservation only. Lunch menus begin at MOP 580 / MOP 1,380, with the dinner omakase menus starting at MOP 980 / MOP 2,580 per person. To secure a seat at this two-star Osaka legend’s newest outpost, guests can book here.

Pet Dogs Will Soon Be Able to Enter Licensed Restaurants in Hong Kong

Published:
February 05, 2026

Good news, furparents! Your doggos may soon be allowed to accompany you on your dinner outings by mid-2026!

The Hong Kong government is set to introduce a new voluntary license program that will permit dogs to enter up to 1,000 restaurants, as part of efforts to support the growing pet-friendly economy, announced during the Chief Executive’s 2025 Policy Address. This follows a decades-long rule that bans pet dogs inside restaurants, which was enacted in 1994.

Under the proposed arrangement, select food establishments will be allowed to welcome dogs indoors. The program will initially be limited to around 500 to 1,000 permits, allowing authorities to monitor and adjust before expanding it. Due to safety concerns, hotpot and BBQ restaurants are not included in the scheme.

Restaurants may apply for a permit for HK$140. Once approved, establishments must display clear signage that informs diners that they are dog-friendly. While dogs are allowed inside, they will not be permitted on dining tables. Restaurants will also be prohibited from preparing food for pets, although owners may bring food for their dogs.

In turn, pet owners will be responsible for taking care of their pets. Pet dogs must be kept on a leash no longer than 1.5 metres or secured to a fixed object. Certain breeds, including Pit Bulls, Dogo Argentinos, Japanese Tosas, and Filas Brasileiros, will not be allowed indoors under the scheme.

The move is expected to give pet owners more options for casual meals, meet-ups, and weekend hangouts, while creating new business opportunities for the food and hospitality sector.

The initiative follows other recent pet-friendly efforts in the city, including the upcoming SPCA Dogathon charity event, where dogs will be allowed to ride on MTR trains.

While this is still in the works, you may check out these pet-friendly cafes in Hong Kong to bond with your loved ones while still having your furbabies with you!

Tequila Don Julio 1942 Unveils Year of the Horse LNY Edition, COA Collab

by: The Beat Asia

by: The Beat Asia

Published:
January 29, 2026

Tequila brand Don Julio 1942 is welcoming Lunar New Year with the debut of their limited‑edition Year of the Horse bottle, a celebration of legacy, craftsmanship, and the bold spirit tied to the zodiac sign. The design merges the traditional Mexican ikat rebozo motif with the commanding symbolism of the Chinese Zodiac horse, honoring the journey first started by Don Julio González in 1942- also a Year of the Horse.

Don Julio 1942 Year of the Horse Chinese New Year special edition tequila

Don Julio 1942 continues its legacy with this special edition as a tequila made only from 100% Blue Weber Agave and aged for a minimum of two years in American white oak barrels. The result is a luxuriously smooth profile ideal for toasting Lunar New Year gatherings and milestones shared with loved ones.

To further elevate festivities, Tequila Don Julio partners with COA- Hong Kong’s acclaimed agave bar and three‑time titleholder as No. 1 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars—for an exclusive cocktail crafted for the season.

Created by Lok Cheung, COA's Bar Manager, the “Golden Horse” draws inspiration from symbolic ingredients tied to Lunar New Year. Kumquat, whose Mandarin name hints at gold and good fortune, offers bright citrus character, while water chestnut, known in Chinese as “horse’s hoof,” nods directly to the zodiac year and is traditionally enjoyed to welcome success. The cocktail blends these elements with the smooth depth of aged agave to create a drink that captures both celebration and intention.

Presented in a festive candy box filled with sweets and decorated with an edible ink‑style horse, it pays tribute to reunion, generosity, and new beginnings. The “Golden Horse” is available exclusively at COA from Feb. 10 to Feb. 22, 2026.

Tequila Don Julio 1942 Year of the Horse Edition is now available at retail partners including Dram Good Stuff, HK Liquor Store, The Central Whisky, Watson’s Wine in Hong Kong, and Noble Mart in Macau.

Hong Kong’s oldest Italian restaurant, La Taverna, is celebrating Valentine’s Day with a special five-course menu rooted in classic Italian romance. Available from Feb. 14 to 15, 2026, the limited-time menu invites couples into an intimate celebration of love, tradition, and timeless flavors.

Located along Ashley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, La Taverna has been a fixture of Hong Kong’s dining scene since the 1960s. Often described as a living time capsule, the trattoria is known for its low-arched ceiling, original Italian furnishings, and hundreds of straw-wrapped Chianti bottles — details that have charmed and made it a second home for generations of diners, even for the city’s Italian community.

For Valentine’s Day, La Taverna presents its “Be My Valentine” menu, a five-course journey balancing nostalgia and indulgence, priced at HK$788 per person.

For the mains, guests can choose between Australian Wagyu striploin or Atlantic black cod, before ending the romantic evening with La Mela del Peccato, a playful apple-forward dessert.

The celebrations continue beyond Valentine’s Day with La Taverna’s “A Taste of Carnevale di Venezia,” available from Feb. 16 to Mar. 2, 2026, and priced at HK$588 per person. Inspired by Venice’s world-famous carnival, the feast includes a classic Antipasto di Cicchetti, a festive Lasagne di Carnevale, a veal scaloppine Saltimbocca di Vitello, and a trio of Dolci di Vitello — a nod to Italy’s pre-Lenten feasting traditions and celebrations.

Louis Vuitton is marking its Lee Gardens expansion with a collaboration that celebrates heritage and craftsmanship. Partnering with Bar Leone, crowned the World’s Best Bar 2025, the maison has unveiled a pop-up inspired by the iconic Yum Sing Bar of Lee Gardens Hotel — a legendary venue from the 1970s to 1990s known for its cocktails and live music.

The space channels Hong Kong’s retro elegance with plush seating in Louis Vuitton’s signature floral motif and warm wooden finishes. Sixteen monogram lanterns illuminate the atrium, a striking tribute to the original architectural design and Hysan’s 103rd anniversary, blending modern design with historical significance.

Guests can savor a curated menu that reinterprets Yum Sing classics with contemporary flair. Kir Royal pairs Ruinart Blanc de Blancs with raspberry cordial and a hint of violet, while the Lee Gardens Special combines gin, moutai, elderflower, cucumber cordial, and soda for a refreshing twist.

Coffee enthusiasts will enjoy the Yum Sing Café, featuring local brew coffee topped with salted cream and cardamom. For a lighter option, Paris with a View offers a non-alcoholic aperitif of grapefruit and raspberry with soda. Those seeking bold flavors can indulge in the Masa Margarita, a savory blend of toasted corn-infused tequila, sloe gin, and lime cordial.

Bar Leone and Louis Vuitton Cocktails with Food and Caviar

The collaboration also offers an exclusive menu with Caviar House & Prunier, serving indulgent caviar delicacies as a dining set for those who place a reservation in advance. The Prestige set features a selection of Prunier Osciètre Classic Caviar (HK$1,600) with Scallop, Balik Salmon, Ham Roll, Lobster, and Foie Gras D'Oie Au Torchon, inclusive of a glass of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015, with Deluxe (HK$800) and Premium (HK$700) sets available.

This exclusive experience is available until Mar. 15, 2026. It’s a celebration of Hong Kong’s cultural legacy, elevated by Louis Vuitton’s timeless elegance and Bar Leone’s mastery of mixology.

Stay tuned for more updates by following Bar Leone's Instagram page. The dining sets are available by reservation only.

Red Sugar at Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong, unveiled a brand-new cocktail menu inspired by the Four Seasons and the symbolic Four Gentlemen in Chinese culture.

“Liu” is described as a sensory journey that translates ancient Chinese philosophies into a curated collection of elixirs, expressed through refined and uniquely Chinese flavors. The cocktails are designed to represent the seasons and virtues in Chinese culture, namely grace, resilience, integrity, and elegance, through poetic concepts grounded in the rich world of Cantonese flavors.

The new menu was curated in partnership with the hotel’s Cantonese restaurant, Hung Tong, and features eight cocktails infused with Cantonese flavors like Chenpi, salted plum, and chrysanthemum. Various techniques were also employed in creating the drinks, from fat-washing and tea infusions to smoke aromatics.

Cocktail Highlights

One of the highlights of the new menu is Chūn, a refreshing gin sour layered with floral notes from Tieguanyin tea. The gentle aroma of spring Chinese tea is lifted by elderflower liqueur, creating a fragrant, easy-drinking cocktail that beautifully balances the Tie Guan Yin–infused gin.

Perfect for the cooler months, Dōng features goose fat–washed bourbon for a rich, savory depth, lightly wrapped in the delicate scent of lychee wood smoke. This thoughtful take on an Old Fashioned also nods to the charcoal furnaces traditionally used to roast goose.

Other drinks worth trying include Méi, a comforting mix of salted plum, Huadiao wine, and hibiscus tea — ingredients traditionally believed to have medicinal properties and often used as natural remedies for minor coughs — and Zhu, an intriguing blend of Chu Yeh Ching Chiew, cucumber, and pineapple rice wine. All cocktails are priced at HK$148 per glass.

Rounding out the new cocktail collection is a lineup of tasty bites that put a modern spin on classic Cantonese favorites. Crowd-pleasers include the Hong Kong–style Prawn Toast (HK$128), the fun and unexpected Mapo Tofu Quesadilla (HK$138), and the Fried Chicken with Fermented Bean Curd (HK$118). They’re all highly recommended and make perfect companions to the drinks on the new menu.
