Mono

Since it’s opening Mono is simply the best restaurant in Hong Kong and beyond (and I eat a lot, everywhere)! They are professionals with a heart from the moment you step into tge venue to the moment you leave again. As a guest you are greeted properly and with a big smile, you enter into another world full if service and the best food ever both in quality and in creativity. Chef Ricardo is a maestro in combining flavours and creating new tastes, he is a true artist who is always full of new ideas. I just LOVE his style! Once settled in you can simply enjoy to be surprised and savour the tastes of South America. I like to try new restaurants, but so far non gas measured up to Mono. Simply the best!

If you're looking for a dining experience that combines exceptional service, exquisite food, and a unique ambiance, Mono is a must-try. This intimate gem beautifully merges French culinary technique with bold Latin American flavours, offering a dining experience that is both sophisticated and approachable. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere immediately sets the tone. The dim, moody lighting, combined with the smooth sounds of jazz and South American music playing on an authentic LP record player, creates a relaxed yet refined environment. It’s the perfect setting for a special evening, whether you're celebrating or simply in the mood for a unique culinary adventure. The menu is thoughtfully curated, innovative and each dish brings something unique to the table. That being said the Standout dishes for me include the Brittany Monkfish, the stunningly tender "Fabien D'eneour" Plouneour-Menez Pigeon, and the delightful Danish Langoustine with Cacao—each offering a combination of flavours and textures that are both exceptional and unforgettable. The presentation is equally impressive, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and creativity. One of the highlights of my visit was the wine pairing, which was expertly chosen to complement each course, enhancing the flavours without overshadowing them. Also if you are game, ask the sommelier for a taste of the Cucuy – a Venezuelan agave spirit that you will not find anywhere else. What truly sets Mono apart, though, is the balance it strikes between fine dining and an unpretentious approach to hospitality. The service is attentive and knowledgeable without feeling stuffy, creating a welcoming experience that allows you to relax and enjoy each moment. For those seeking something new and exciting, Mono offers a flawlessly executed fusion of French technique and Latin American ingredients that is nothing short of spectacular. I highly recommend it to anyone eager to explore the world of fine dining in a setting that is both intimate and immersive. Whether you're a connoisseur of gourmet cuisine or simply in search of a fresh dining experience, this restaurant is absolutely worth a visit."

Best Latin American in hk Food: Exotic ingredients with great combination. Eg oyster with banana is unprecedented. Cocoa and Pigeon are signature And the sourdough, many might overlook it but the white sesame goes so well with the crust Usage of mashua, mezcal, tonburi, aji Amarillo, huacatay and caper are amazing! Service: Abbi for her service, knowledge, wisdom and warmth Christine for her kindness and passion Chris for his creativity and hardwork Andez for his management and enthusiasm

Food - When it comes to south American food, you may instantly link it with something with a punch of flavors. Not Mono. We tried the full menu. The delicates may look good in picture but when they come to your palate they taste like plain hotel food, which lacks personality and warmth. The whole experience is a meh. Makes me wonder if their Michelin chef still works there or resigned already. Service - The waitress who served our table is professional, for she definitely knows what she's doing, and no doubt deserves a five star. But the sommelier is disappointing cause they fail to understand the customer's needs and preference, and stuck in their own way with a RBF. The senior looking waitor (or manager?) definitely did give a black face for the failed wine recommendation process. Atmosphere - not outstanding. Neither chic nor warm. To sum up, there are definitely better Michelin restaurants in Hong Kong. Not recommending to anyone and probably will never come back.

Exceeded expectations. Few restaurants can outperform a customer who walks in and is already expecting a top Asian 50 and Michelin experience. As a customer, I finished the meal with appreciation, not only for taste and visual satisfaction but for feeling well taken care of. Mono’s team respects people; they listen and observe their customer's needs. Chef delightfully served extra sauce and bread as he saw I enjoyed dipping to the very last drop. I learned about the ingredients used, visually seeing the natural form while tasting the incredible flavors after a magical touch in the kitchen. The team proactively connected with the customers to share their stories and listened then served us a surprise and delight. I felt I was cared for throughout, from start to end. Amazing customer experience. There was not a moment I felt left out. Hats off to the chef and team. Take time and slow down to enjoy the layering of flavors and texture which the chef and team skillfully crafted, the preciousness of the food temperature to well designed plating. Stress releasing music played in a soothing blue-toned space, with a lovely, friendly front team who will to genuinely connect - a comprehensive enjoyment.

Came highly recommended by friends especially for their sourdough bread. Small restaurant with only 30 seats so reservations and deposit are needed. We were seated at the high tables facing the kitchen so we could see the cooks preparing our dishes which was amazing. Service was excellent and the manager was so personable. She also had a sense of humour which made the experience so much more delightful! We took the full tasting menu - Journey. The concept of the ingredients were from Latin American with a twist of Cacao. More of my thoughts on each of the dishes in the pictures.

My third time to this restaurant. The rich and beautifully flavor combinations always surprises, and the menu changes seasonally. Restaurant decor is simple, and music is never too loud or inappropriate. The staff are concise and serious about the food. Would happily bring friends back again.

It was better than we were expecting. Highly recommended if you wanna experience something special in HK. Can walk through the building from the main road to get to that little alley.
