Perched on the 21st storey in a new-build commercial complex in Tsim Sha Tsui is Maison Eight. The restaurant opened in April in a lavish and enviable location, and serves up French cuisine, innovative cocktails and Bollinger champagne.
Concept Guests enter through the hand-stamped Italian leather doors that lead into a penthouse designed by Two Men in Hats. Views of Kowloon and Hong Kong are spectacular on all sides.
MICE application Tired of staging events in hotel ballrooms? Maison Eight could well be your relief. It is able to host small to mid-scale events, and the 740m2 restaurant features four different venue concepts.
There is the intimate 32-seat French restaurant Esmé, available for a sit-down lunch or dinner.
Next, Salvatore at Maison Eight is the first cocktail bar in Asia by The Maestro (world-renowned bartender Salvatore Calabrese), and is headed by his protégé Fabien Marcault.
The Ballroom at Maison Eight is an elegant salon – with its own private terrace – that transforms into a lounge in the evenings. Both The Ballroom and Salvatore has space for a 120-pax sit-down dinner, or 220 guests cocktail-style.
Lastly, Le Club 1829 – the first Bollinger champagne room in the world – features a wine cellar with a collection of over 2,300 bottles (that includes cuveé and key vintages) for up to 18 people.
Corporate buyouts are possible.
Service Maison Eight scores with its elegant and relaxing ambience, and friendly staff. Another plus point is its amazing view of the city.
