What a fantastic restaurant. I had a five courses meal here, each one was top notch in terms of presentation, ingredients quality and flavour complexity. I also had a wine pairing with each course: the selection was very good, the choice of wines was fair (but I'm not a wine expert, so don't rely on my opinion). Service was very good, prices are fair (I was a guest but I had a look to the menu). I wish I could give 4.5 stars, 4 isn't enough but 5 maybe a tad too much. I will probably visit again in the future and I recommend a visit.

We had the worst dining experience. Asked for the vegan tasting menu and the regular tasting menu when making the reservation. When arrived, they told me the whole table need to order the same set or we can't order the tasting menu at all (I guess they don't understand ppl have different dietary requirements). Even now, I still don't understand the logic behind this. End up ordering from the ala carte menu and didn't get to try all their signatures. The restaurant is small and cozy, which is fine, but table are extremely close to each other. I can literally listen to all the conversation from the party next to us, and that made us want to leave as soon as we finish our main. Food wise, the presentation is really nice, but the taste wasn't as good as advertised. Most dishes are rather dull and there are much better option in the central area.

It was our first time here and we chose the tasting menu so we got to try many delicious and creative dishes. Food was amazing and staff were professional. We enjoyed our time here very much! Will definitely come back!

The quality of food and service are definitely a Michelin Starred restaurant but the atmosphere is casual and relaxing. Highly recommended!

I book table for 2 ppl at lunch for my birthday Was everything perfect! Service really Good and really hospitality… The food is perfect and really good with all the details. I had a tasting menu and was perfect everything Nice selection of wine and negroni was really good .. The general manager was always looking after us Unlucky I didn’t meet the chef I will come back again Thank you

Went with great expectations to Arcane since I am a big fan of Cornerstone and was disappointed. As soon as we stepped into the restaurant the ambiance just seemed to be off. It was too hot, music was very low (couldn't really hear it from where we were sitting), empty tables, salon staff seemed to be a bit low on energy apart from the sommelier and kitchen team who were great. I was expecting to have at least one amazing bite but the food was quite one noted, lacking passion and excitement. That said, it was a good meal but nothing more than that unfortunately.

The choice made by the sommelier for the wine pairing was not convincing (probably a matter of taste?). Overall, a bistro atmosphere with no real intimacy, with a music choice that just doesn't fit with what the website is explaining.

Great place to celebrate! Excellent food, very friendly staff and nice ambiance.

What would I do if I had unlimited funds? Either move into Arcane for my three meals a day or ask Shane, Michael and Stefano to come and live at my house. It’s the attention to detail that makes Arcane the must visit food institution of Hong Kong. The food really needs no introduction - clean, exciting and innovative. I had one of those pesky vegans with me, but no problem for team, in fact my dining companions food looked as interesting and tasty as mine. The service and ambiance is just perfect, attentive, yet not intrusive. If you are looking to impress a client or date, celebrate a special occasion or just wake up feeling fabulous, get down to Arcane to experience their magnificence. You’ll thank me and the rest of their loyal fan base. I’d recommend booking as we are not the only ones who love it.

Surprisingly good. Good value of menu with wine pairing. The sommelier of the day was exceptionally knowledgeable.

Very nice food. Saw you on the final table you did extremely well. Staff were very polite. Definitely worth 1 michelin star. 5 stars cozy and friendly.

Beautifully plated food, nice ambience with dark blue decor. Especially enjoyed the scallop-cauliflower starter and sea bass. Portions are really small (given their price), and it was a 2,000+ bill for two mains and appetisers.

At Arcane, they were serving some black truffle dishes with black truffle from Australia's The Truffle wine and company. Had the grilled green asparagus with potato, fresh , mayonnaise, hazelnut dressing. This dish had a lovely nutty flavour enhanced by the fragrant black truffle. The other dish I had was Sautéed potato gnocchi, cep puree, charred cevenne onion, mushroom ragout, parmesan.

Very good creative Western cuisine with a slightly heavier/heartier touch. Efficient service in a slightly small space with areas without air conditioning - sit a bit farther away from reception during the summer.

Nice and cozy 1 Michelin starred restaurant, western food, super tasty!!! We went there for a New Years dinner and the staff is super super friendly and polite. We had a great time, we will recommend this restaurant to everyone, and when possible we will come back!

Simple unpretentious decor. Food was fantastically executed. Lots of multi - layered flavours. Service was attentive without being on top of you. Overall a great evening.

Chef Shane Osborn is wonderful having his dished well served hot and tastful. Detailed in every bit of the dish i would say. From start til the end, you will feel his creation of the dish carefully prepared and harmony in texture as well as the taste the ingredients represented. Tomotes and Languistine with truffle oil is excellent. Blending east and west ingredients is well done. Desserts are marvelous too.

We had the set menu for a weekend lunch. As expected, the food was amazing, very fresh and light. The dessert was exceptional. What made the experience even better was the fantastic service from friendly servers. They were incredibly attentive and proactive, and they had great suggestions when we asked for recommendations. The atmosphere was still quite friendly and not at all stuffy, I would happily recommend this place to friends.

Came here with a small group on recommendation from a podcast and they didn’t disappoint. The service was on point and the waiter was quite patient in explaining which wine will go with what we ordered. My favourite dish was the “Salad of miyazaki mango, burrata and green beans, air dried beef and moscatel dressing” which was fresh and sweet and light. Amazing!

Absolutely deloicious tasting menu chosen for us by Stefano. Absolutely the best meal I've had in Hong Kong.

The music don’t match the atmosphere

Excellent food and superb service

We had the arcane menu, which was good. Staff was attentive. Prices are very high, but such locations always come with a high price tag in hong kong. Nothing to complain about it was decent food and service, but experience was also nothing out of the ordinary in this price category

It was great coming back for dinner, food was amazing as always. Love their combination of flavors in each dish, my favorite would be the seared scallop with artichoke and hazelnuts.

1. If you have a “special request” such as please book me on the Terrasse note that this will be duly ignored ! 2. Food is “ok lah” but far far far away from the 1 Michelin star standard one could expect 3. Service feels like lottery you can win big sometimes … but most of the time you lose … same concept here !!! 4. Bread was great and this is something one could expect from a bakery again not from a 1 Michelin star 5. Restaurant manager is French … usually French people are excellent pretending and not so much as doing … well in that case this EXACTLY fits the description

Culinary Treasure in Hong Kong Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arcane is a culinary gem in bustling Hong Kong. The ambiance is elegantly understated, and the outdoor seating area is a delight. The food is impeccable - their superb fish dishes, and exquisite gnocchi are all standouts. They offer a well-curated wine list with excellent pairing suggestions. The service is outstanding, making guests feel welcomed and special. Arcane adds grace and innovation to Hong Kong's food scene, making every meal a memorable experience. A real treat for anyone dining out.

Very good small restaurant with a an enjoyable outdoor terrasse. Food is great for the price, staff very welcoming, menu changing regularly. The lunch formula is very affordable. Brunch has a pairing wine option of a very good quality overall.

Amazing tastes and great service, highly recommend the Lunch Set. well done Shane Osborne!

We had a birthday + Christmas dinner at Arcane tonight. The food overall is delicious and the presentation is very well made. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is perfect for such an important night. We had a good time here.

Had the lunch set. The food was exceptional. So was the wine that was recommended to us. The staff was nice - it was truly decent service but I think I expected more for a 1 Michelin Star. Even the sommelier was nice person but he was abit rough with the way he poured the wine, etc. Overall, there is something lacking about the place. This includes the interior. It isn’t the most charming of places. However, the quality of the food made up for it, I suppose.

Shane was there! Feel like meeting a celebrity in his concert. Food was great and we like the wagyu very much. It was a mixture of crispy and tender with rich flavours. Poached pear was also a highlight dish, it was a perfect match with the ginger ice cream aside. However, the "off the table menu" snapper did not finished well, it was a bit overcooked. All in all, food was delicious and definitely deserved a five star rating however, there are quite a lot of room for improvements in the services. During the dinner, a mosquito kept biting my wife and we told the waiter what was going on, he simply replied it's normal as they have a door to the outdoor smoking area so be with it. OK it is the reason but I didn't expect it was the proper feedback from a michelin one star and one of the world's 50 best restaurant. Moreover, the booking was made online and I got an email reminder in the morning one day before the dinner. It's nice to have the reminder in my first thought, but an email followed a few hours later and warned me the table would be cancelled if I'm not confirming by replying the email. I looked back to the previous one, it only contained the details of the reservation and the instructions on what to do if I'm going to change or cancel the dinner. No one single word telling me I have to reply the email to confirm. Wording was a bit rude in this fine dining standard. Hope the crew would sincerely tackle the problem and make certain improvements. Chef did most of the part to serve good food and the crew shouldn't ruin the dining experience.

After me and my husband watched The Final Table on Netflix and found out that Shane Osborn has a restaurant here in Hongkong ,we were so eager to taste what's on their menu...well we were not dissapointed and went out of their restau full and felt the magic of food...the art of putting the right elements and taste..Salute! I highly recommend to everyone....!

High quality and interesting without being pretentious. Been here many more times compared to other highly related restaurants.

Had the best meal here that I’ve had for a long time. The ingredients were fresh and wonderfully flavorsome, and the taste combinations were sublime. I was so surprised how good it was! I chose the Japanese tomato with langostine, the Hirame which was superb and the awesome Mille feuille for dessert. The wine was also excellent and the sommelier was knowledgeable and gave really helpful advice. The decor and ambience was also ideal. I have absolutely no reservations recommending Arcane to anyone living in or visiting Hong Kong. Thanks to the chef and staff!!

We had the tasting menu and the food in general was alright - the scallop with green apple consomme stood out while others less so. Also, it's more like a 5-course meal since the starter and the final dessert are more like one-biters - it might not be enough for those with a big appetite. Floor staff seemed a bit low on energy compared to other fine dining establishments.

Saw Shane cooking on the Final Table show so decided to check it out. Brilliant food and friendly staff. Would recommend scallop, lamb and the wagyu beef.

Everything was really good although I'm not sure if it compared with other Michelin star places I've been to. Nothing really felt unique or worthy of fine dining. All the entries I had were very "safe" menu items.

The food here is very good. The service was very good as well.

Beautiful restaurant. Food is exemplary and the service matches.

Had a perfect dinner sitting at the Kitchen counter, watching Shane Osborn and the team in action.

Nice and 1 Michelin starred restaurant, western food, super tasty!!! We went there for a New Years dinner and the staff is super super friendly and polite. We had a great time, we will recommend this restaurant to everyone, and when possible we will come back!

One of the best restaurants in Hong Kong. All dishes cooked to perfection. The lamb was exception. yuzu dessert was especially good.

Very tasty. Chef Shane Osborn was there from Netflix's Final Table, which is why I went. Everything extremely tasty but TINY. But 5-course tasting menu including tip was $167 USD. Definitely pricey, maybe a special occasion type of place. Everything was excellent including service, except for the value of the place.

Amzingly tasty

Food quality and service are both amazing!

Amazing dinner. Great staff

Delicious cuts of meat, dying to get back.

amazing food and service

Good value for food. Dishes were on point, get the sweetbread!

One of the best restaurants in Hong Kong. All dishes cooked to perfection. The lamb was exception. yuzu dessert was especially good.

Veal was amazing... Melts in your mouth

Been a few time’s now, hands down one of the best fine dinning meals you can have in Hong Kong. Superb!

Hong Kong's top fine dining restaurant IMO. Subtle, sincere, perfectly executed, creative. Always a delight to dine with Arcane.

Delicious meal, especially the gnocchi

Best restaurant, best chef!

Excellent

Excellent food quality, definitely worth a Michelin star for its cuisine. Very fine Italian style. Service can however be improved (not welcoming, arrogant and not really taking the time to explain the dishes as you would expect in a starred restaurant). The choice made by the sommelier for the wine pairing was not convincing (probably a matter of taste?). Overall, a bistro atmosphere with no real intimacy, with a music choice that just doesn't fit with what the website is explaining. I give 5 star for the cuisine but give 3 star overall as I will not come back for the other reasons above.

One of the best meal I've ever had in HK! We tried the 5 years anniversary meal, and it was spectacular all way long ... No BS, just genuine fine dinning delivered by pros.

Fine dining at its best, bravo to Chef Shane!

Hands down the best meal I’ve had in Hong Kong. The scallops did not disappoint at all; hopefully one day the twille will be on the plate! It’s a shame I picked a day that Shane wasn’t in but Sebastian provided plenty of banter from the open kitchen so actually kind of worked out. As promised by the chef de cuisine the gnocchi dish was outstanding and a lot better than my previous benchmark of school canteen gnocchi... the wagyu was unbelievably well cooked. A fine balance of western and eastern ingredients blended together. The dessert was just the icing on the cake. If Michelin wasn’t so stuffy this would be 3 star... but unfortunately they gift random stuffed up places like La Yeon with 3 stars that are undeserving of the great accolade. I’ll be back... hopefully tomorrow if they’re not full already

Highly overrated 1 star michelin…

(Translated by Google) 2019.11.09 Saturday evening Review: Michelin 3-star restaurant The course was so plentiful and the price was so high that it consisted of three starters and two mains. A bottle of rose wine and a dessert seemed to be a bit high. You might have dropped out a dessert or reduced one starter. Don't miss the final table, Chef Shane Osborne's food keyword was Balance. The balance between raw materials and sauces and garnishes was fantastic. All the dishes were perfectly balanced so I enjoyed the time I had a good time. I've been to some of the famous Western cuisines like Joelobuchon Otomezo in Hong Kong, but it's a mistake for Arcane to be a star. I think I should be a 3 star and I think I should be a 2 star no matter what. (Original) 2019.11.09 토요일 저녁 2인 후기 한줄평: 미슐랭 3스타가 어울리는 레스토랑 코스를 보니 너무 양도 많고 가격도 압박이라 단품으로 스타터 3개와 메인 2개를 구성했다. 로제 와인 한 병과 디저트를 곁들인 결과 양이 조금 많았던 것 같다. 디저트를 빼거나, 스타터 하나를 줄였어도 될 것 같다. 파이널 테이블에서 보고 계속 가고 싶었돈 셰프 셰인 오스본의 음식의 키워드는 밸런스였다. 원재료와 소스와 가르니쉬들의 밸런스가 환상이었다. 모든 디쉬가 밸런스가 완벽해서 음식을 먹는 시간을 매우 즐겁게 즐길 수 있었다. 홍콩에서 조엘로부숑 오또이메조 등 유명한 서양 퀴진을 가 보았지만, 아케인이 1스타인 것은 뭔가 잘못된 것 같다. 3스타가 되어야 한다고 생각하고 아무리 못해도 2스타는 되어야 하는 것 같다.

Spectacular, beautiful food, well presented

New Year's Eve, so chef Shane Osborn had proposed a tasting menu - impressive plating, as well as a delight to the palate. The attentive staff all helped to bring about a perfect evening. There is a comprehensive wine list, so Michelin award is well deserved.

Incredible food, great service.

Learned about Arcane as it was founded by Shane Osborn, an outstanding contestant in the Netflix series “The Final Table” showcasing the delicate culinary skills of chefs around the world. Holding high expectation prior to my visit to this Michelin one-star restaurant known for the chef’s widely acclaimed creativity and skills, I‘d have to honestly share that my dining experience turned into slight disappointment. The starter and main courses were good but they weren’t impressive. The freshness of the oysters were overshadowed by the vinegar dressing, the sea bass and beef were handled in a mediocre manner. Service was not good but unlike the common practice of other Michelin restaurants, no detail of the dishes was provided when they were served.
