 French chef Pierre Gagnaire helms this Hong Kong restaurant that’s one of the hardest reservations to score on the island, but well worth the effort. Floor-to-ceiling windows confer harbor views as jaw-dropping as the dishes to come while the intimate dining room is illuminated by ambient lighting from hand-crafted crystal chandeliers. Pierre boasts a walk-in wine cellar of more than 600 wine labels from premium vineyards of France, Italy, the U.S. and Australia. The menu changes every three months to reflect the availability of seasonal ingredients, and these are mostly sourced from chef Gagnaire's network of small producers across France. Expect the entrées to be thematic and theatrical, as with the generous Les Langoustines done in five ways (soup, tartare, mousse, pan-fried and grilled). For mains, the chef showcases his savoir-faire with classical creations, including L’Agneau (roasted lamb with soft fragrant spices, stiletto eggplant marmalade, lamb fricassée with plums, crunchy vegetables, green harissa, saffron wheat semolina, manchego) and Le Pigeon (poached-steamed on aromatic salt foie gras, red pepper, fennel confit, bigarade sauce with red fruit, shiitake, carrot, onion, leek salad, beetroot and star anise bouillon). Leave room for a sweet creation, perhaps the 9 Conduit Street: light pistachio mousseline, “parsley, coriander, arugula,” cachaca granité, Galia melon soup, cucumber and green mango.
