(Hong Kong, November 27, 2009) Fashionable new gastro-restaurant CÉPAGE in Wanchai's Starstreet has been awarded its first prestigious MICHELIN star in its first year of operation.
The Hong Kong flagship of Singapore’s award-winning Les Amis Group was applauded for "charming" service, "stylish" design and "one of the most impressive wine lists in Hong Kong".
CÉPAGE is honoured with one star in the latest 2010 MICHELIN Guide to Hong Kong and Macau.
MICHELIN commented: "Three floors of stylish design offer the chic diner something special; subtle lighting, crisp linen and Limoges porcelain, but also a relaxed atmosphere. The cuisine is contemporary, with French and Italian to the fore, using fine ingredients from around the world."
Nestled between Wanchai and Central in stylish Starstreet precinct, the restaurant blends old world opulence with cutting edge design. It is inspired by classic European architecture and styled after an 18th century French villa.
CÉPAGE introduces to Hong Kong the same award-winning “blend” of exquisite French-Mediterranean fare, one of the region’s finest wine lists and personalised service that has made Les Amis a Singapore fine dining legend over the past 14 years.
Cuisine is by internationally renowned Chef Thomas Mayr, a veteran of numerous Michelin-starred restaurants in Italy and Germany. Focusing on quality ingredients which complement the local climate and palate, he said: “I keep the dishes relatively simple to let the ingredients speak for themselves.”
CÉPAGE is named after the French wine terminology meaning a “blend of” or “variety of” grapes and houses one of Hong Kong's most celebrated wine cellars, boasting over 2,400 labels and some of the world's most revered vintages.
The international wine list is one of the finest in Asia, hand-picked by Group Director of Operations Randy See, who was voted 'Sommelier of the Year' for three years running at the annual World Gourmet Summit.
