MONO

Delightful Experience at Mono Mono offers a fun and creative dining experience, with dishes that showcase both artistry and well-balanced flavors. The tasting notes were spot-on, making each bite a delight. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall ambiance. A highlight of the evening was the exceptional Chambertin wine, which perfectly complemented the meal. A must-visit for those who appreciate fine dining with a touch of creativity!

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!

MONO: the language of good food. Super satisfied with the excellent experience I had at MONO. Saying that the food is excellent and that it is a top-level place is very obvious, what I want to highlight about MONO is its language. MONO communicates with all its elements the passion that its entire team has for making you feel like a luxury guest in its facilities. Everything is very intimate, close, friendly and familiar. It is clear that they have planned everything that happens around you, from the sound, aromas and visual elements of the activity. It is the only place where you will prefer to eat at the bar. That their musical environment is by placing vinyl records in a long play player, turning them over and changing them, says a lot about what they are willing to do to make their homemade, artisanal language of what is handmade be perceived. To put the cherry on top, my dessert arrived while Sade's music was playing.

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."

My partner and I went to MONO for our anniversary and the team was great! We got greeted as soon as we arrived and got taken to our seats. I highly recommend seating by the high table to see the full experience of the restaurant. The atmosphere was really great and it was an honour to experience Chef Ricardo’s journey and helped by Normie and Abbi to be immersed in all of the courses which was truly a delightful experience of an evening. MONO is a great place for surprises and I would like to come again with more exciting surprises along with wine and delicious food!

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.

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.
