About Hakkasan
About Hakkasan
With dishes inspired by ancient recipes, a unique wine philosophy, innovative cocktail creations, artistic patisserie, and iconic design, there are many stories that exist behind the scenes… only at Hakkasan.
Ancient gastronomy reimagined for the modern day
Chinese cuisine is one of most ancient and diverse in the world. Its influence has spread across mountains and jungles, rivers and cities, to impress upon the rest of the globe.
Hakkasan’s unique cuisine blends authentic Cantonese recipes with contemporary influences. The kitchen teams create modern dishes using traditional techniques and the finest quality ingredients.
Harmony: the Hakkasan wine philosophy
Hakkasan features over 400 wines from all over the world as part of an extensive wine program, ranging from classic wines available by the glass to fine vintages.
Every week, Hakkasan’s wine team conducts a dedicated tasting session, trying out new wines with different dishes from the menu: if a wine does not work with one dish – even if it is great with the others – it does not make the list.
All our wines are continually tasted as the vintages change to ensure that they complement our cuisine.
Artistry on a plate
Hakkasan’s approach to patisserie is distinctive: the pastry chefs explore the relationship between classical techniques from Europe and the distinctive flavours and spices inherent in Cantonese cuisine, specifically focusing on how these can complement each other and surprise.
