John Anthony

Hong Kong’s burgeoning Cantonese fusion dining scene gained a notable addition with the recent opening of John Anthony, a Chinese restaurant whose dining theme is inspired by the Silk Route and where the food is anchored in Cantonese cuisine, with strong influences from Shanghai, Shandong and Sichuan. The spacious 7000-sq-ft restaurant is operated by the Mott Group, of Mott 32 fame, another upscale contemporary Cantonese restaurant that has garnered accolades. Three custom-built BBQs, each using a different BBQ technique, dominate the layout of the restaurant, along with a large bar area with gin tubes offering special cocktails infused with spices from the Silk Route. The décor is designed for sustainability and incorporates a myriad of features to effect that.

 

During lunch, the restaurant serves dim sum as well as an array of regional dishes. The dim sum we sampled included Black Squid Ink Seafood Dumplings ($65) and Black Truffle Vegetarian Siu Mai ($45).

 

The BBQ roast meat Iberico Pork Char Siu ($225) is highly popular, as is Fried Farmed Giant Garoupa, Golden garlic, Dried Chilies (Cantonese Style) ($380). Regional dishes include Slow-cooked & Brined Sliced Goose Breast ($180), Mini Lion’s Head ($110), Cold Free-range Chicken, Szechuan Peppercorns, Chili Sauce ($110), Dan Dan Beef Noodle, Chili Oil ($95), and the innovative Slow- Cooked Australian Wagyu Beef Cheek, Watermelon, Chili Sauce ($135).

 

 Be sure to try out the desserts, which include Fried Banana Bao ($65) and of course the house cocktails such as Lavender & Elderflower Gin and Tonic ($85).
