An eclectic Japanese izakaya located on the 25th floor of Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, The Aubrey, boasts three distinctive bar experiences, as well as a drawing-room, a curio lounge and a leading culinary team that will form the city's most creative hospitality destination.
A home-away-from-home for local Hong Kong and global guests alike, The Aubrey is inspired by ‘the journey of a hungry mind’ and channels the vibe of Japanese izakayas in Ginza. Using high-quality Japanese ingredients and traditional cooking techniques, guests will enjoy culturally rich beverage and dining experiences.
At the first of The Aubrey’s three bars – known as The Main Bar – the team offers a core selection of Highball and Chuhai cocktails, a signature cocktail menu inspired by the game of chess and a rotating selection of three seasonal cocktails based off a singular Japanese ingredient.
The second bar is the four-person Omakase Cocktail Bar which reinvents the omakase experience and where resident bartenders takes guests on a unique drinks journey across Japanese spirits and flavours. Finally, the third bar - The Champagne and Sake Bar - will celebrate the age-old tradition of oysters and champagne, while also playing with sparkling sakes.
At lunch, elevated bentos are created with decades of core Japanese cooking experience. Presented in beautiful hand-crafted wooden boxes, their layers reveal fresh ingredients made with an impeccable technique from The Aubrey’s raw, tempura and robata menus.
Guests also appreciate the world-class sushi and sashimi specialization in traditional Edomae sushi-making techniques. The robata grill takes diners on a journey from the ocean to the soil where prime ingredients are cooked over binchotan charcoal, while the tempura menu shows the cuisine’s art, craft and lightness.
Sustainability is one of the key tenets for Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, from using the world's first viable compostable cling wrap to bamboo and paper products from sustainable sources, The Aubrey is as much as possible zero-waste with the goal to remove single-use plastic from all operations. The vision is to be a pioneer and educate in the sustainable hospitality space.
Expat Choice highly recommends making a reservation at this innovative and high-end Japanese izakaya to experience an entirely new offering.
