Elegant Christmas Dining with a View: WATERMARK’s Splendid Tasting Menu Awaits

As the festive season reaches its peak, WATERMARK presents its exclusive Christmas Dinner Tasting Menu with 6 magnificent courses curated to match the magical nighttime view. Priced at HK$1,088 per person (2-person minimum) on 24 December 2024, and HK$888 per person (2-person minimum) on 25 and 26 December 2024, this exceptional culinary journey arrives as a symphony of flavours to celebrate the spirit of the season while enjoying the harbour lights dazzling on the water.

The Christmas feast begins with warm Sourdough served with seaweed butter, followed by a vibrant Burrata Cheese, artistically drizzled with citrusy blood orange and sweet-sour Pat Chun vinegar to complement the nutty crunch of the accompanying pistachios. A trio of appetisers comprises Hamachi Crudo, expertly paired with yuzu miso, pickled vegetables and witlof (Belgian endive), topped with premium Kaviari caviar for an elegant touch; a luxurious Wagyu Beef Tartare replete with Japanese sea urchin, rich egg yolk, fresh green papaya, wasabi, kinzanji miso and delicately arranged potato pavé; and a perfectly Seared Hokkaido Scallop, adorned with luscious salmon caviar for a celebration of oceanic delights, accompanied by creamy parsnip, sweet bacon jam and aromatic dill oil.

The main is a choice from an enticing selection, including Patagonian Toothfish, a sumptuous dish served with tender clam, savoury cabbage, Parisienne potatoes and a luxurious morel cream sauce. M7 Wagyu Flat Iron Steak is another must-have – this premium cut of well-marbled Australian wagyu is cooked to perfection and served with maitake mushroom, witlof, pickled white asparagus, potato pavé and rich beef jus, ensuring a robust and flavourful centrepiece. Diners may also opt for Grilled Whole Boston Lobster for an additional HK$248 per person, expertly marinated in a rich sakiyo miso and accented with chilli and wakame to deliver an impressive array of flavours.

Strawberry Mascarpone Mousse, elegantly layered with strawberry marmalade, red cocoa butter, creamy cheesecake and refreshing strawberry sorbet, provides a light and fruity finish that beautifully balances the richness of the preceding courses.

Ring in the New Year with a Front-Row Seat to the Fireworks at WATERMARK

On 31 December 2024, WATERMARK paves the way to 2025 with an elaborate New Year’s Eve Countdown Celebration Menu, priced at HK$1,088 per person (2-person minimum) and served at two seatings: from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. until late. Each of 6 memorable courses celebrates the promise of new joys in the year ahead, with early diners and families finishing in time to step outside to the Symphony of Lights, and those at the second seating able to sit back and savour the spectacle of fireworks over Victoria Harbour.

To awaken the senses, fresh Sourdough is enlivened by seaweed butter and Burrata Cheese is paired with juicy shine muscat grapes and piquant pickled beetroot as well as pistachios and a splash of Pat Chun vinegar. An appetiser of succulent Yellowfin Tuna accompanied by premium Kaviari caviar, avocado, green apple and witlof is followed by Seared Hokkaido Scallop complemented by a medley of contrasting tastes – rich, creamy Japanese sea urchin, the festive favourite of Brussels sprouts, cauliflower purée, blackcurrant and dill oil.

An entrée of Lamb Rump presents the tender meat with trimmings from around the world – pumpkin, peppery Japanese sansho and Middle Eastern-inspired hazelnut dukkah. For the main choices, Patagonian Toothfish comes with red prawn, broccolini, barley, edamame and lobster sauce; M7 Wagyu Flat Iron Steak is served with maitake mushrooms, confit heirloom carrots, duck fat potato fondant and beef jus; and Grilled Whole Boston Lobster (add HK$248) is dressed with the Japanese delicacies of sakiyo miso and wakame as well as chilli.

Drawing the festive extravaganza to a sweet close, diners are treated to Coconut & Hazelnut Mont Blanc, a lavish concoction of chestnut, coconut and soft caramel sponge. For a celebratory year-end high to sip with each course – or to pop open as midnight strikes – Louis Roederer Brut NV Champagne is available at the special price of $788 per bottle (originally HK$888).

Further elevating the holiday dining experience is a thoughtfully curated wine list featuring both old and new world offerings, and a star selection of innovative cocktails and mocktails imagined by expert in-house mixologists. Signature creations include WATERMARK (HK$128), an exquisite balance of sweetness and tanginess; T-Sunset (HK$108) distilling the vibrancy of dusk; and Harbour Breeze (HK$118) blending exotic spirits with fresh local ingredients. Those preferring non-alcoholic pours will be tempted by the visually stunning and refreshing Aurora (HK$88) and the tropical adventure of On Board (HK$88).

A serene retreat with a modern vibe, this destination dining venue is a must for visitors looking to embrace Hong Kong’s waterside heritage and stunning harbour views, and locals seeking an airy, atmospheric escape from shopping-mall restaurants.
