Medora Hong Kong unveils a luxurious feast for mothers this May, with a menu designed for families who love to toast Mom with lobster, Wagyu, and seafood.

The restaurant in Central will serve their Mother's Day 2026 menu from May 8 (dinner) and May 9 to 10 (lunch and dinner). Priced at HK$680 per person plus 10% service charge, seafood courses, European-inspired mains, and indulgent desserts come together to scream: "We love you."

Opening with a seafood platter for sharing, guests can bond over poached shrimp, fresh scallops, king crab legs, baby razor clams, tuna, sea snails, Venus clam salad, and grilled squid. No platter would be complete without sauce, and this one's got you covered with plenty of options: cocktail sauce, Marie Rose sauce, Thai-style dipping sauce, guacamole dip, and lemon. As part of the appetizer course, a seafood soup follows.

Guests can also begin their meal with one of two welcome drinks. The Sparkling Floaty combines Estrella rose strawberry beer with Strawberry Cream Swirl gelato, while the spirit-free Very Berry mixes Raspberry Hibiscus Fizz with the same gelato for a bright, fruit-centric drink.

For the main course, diners may choose one option per person, with the exception of the barbecue chicken, which is served as a half chicken for two people. The lineup includes Lobster Thermidor with béarnaise, fingerling potato and lardons frisée salad; Beef Rossini with Wagyu rump cap, foie gras, spinach, champagne mushroom and Madeira jus; Mediterranean Red Prawn Linguine with prawn head sauce and tomato confit; and Barbecue Chicken with gem lettuce salad and mashed potato.

Dessert keeps up the celebratory mood, with each guest choosing from Roasted Apple Crunch Cake with honeycomb and vanilla cream, Coffee Caramel Tart with hazelnut praline, or a choice of gelato. Gelato flavors may vary; diners may ask the servers for options.
