Hong Kong

Watermark restaurant Hong Kong is the renowned waterfront dining destination located at Pier 7, Star Ferry, Central, which has reopened. Managed by Cafe Deco Group, one of the leading and most successful hospitality groups in Hong Kong, it presents a revitalised menu that celebrates coastal cuisine along with refined decor enhancements, inviting guests to indulge in a contemporary culinary experience while enjoying stunning 270-degree views of Victoria Harbour.

Watermark has refreshed its space, welcoming guests to experience pleasurable all-day dining in a relaxed ambience on the water. Proving equally appealing for romantic dinners, business entertaining and lively celebrations, the versatile venue spans 3,300 sq. ft. It can seat up to 88 people for dinner and 150 for events, and accommodate up to 300 people for cocktails.

The new menu features abundant jet-fresh seafood sourced from the world’s premier maritime regions, as well as a delightful selection of dry aged beef. The impressive Seafood Platter is a highlight, a stunning centrepiece laden with premium catches of the day like Boston lobster, freshly shucked oysters, prawns, scallops, squid and clams. Served with a variety of house-made dipping sauces, such as zesty cocktail sauce and apple cucumber mignonette, it ensures an immersive seafood experience.

Another standout dish is Grilled Live Boston Lobster served whole or halved. This perfectly grilled lobster, marinated in a rich saikyo miso and accented with chilli and wakame, promises an explosion of flavours with every bite. Catering to pasta aficionados, Grilled Lobster Spaghetti sees fresh lobster meat combined with asparagus, takana (Japanese mustard greens) and cherry tomatoes, creating a refreshing yet umami taste profile.

Captivating the palate and capturing the essence of coastal dining, Black Ink is a flavourful risotto made with semi-dried squid and aged rice, enveloped in an intense seafood umami. Grilled Seasonal Whole Fish features the freshest catch of the day, grilled to perfection and accompanied by kumquat, fennel, broccolini, tomatoes, capers and a light drizzle of dill oil for a zesty culinary journey along the verdant seashore.

Carnivores will delight in Beef Cheek, a melt-in-the-mouth indulgence of slow-cooked beef cheek served with buttery mashed potatoes, asparagus and a hint of palm sugar. The Watermark signature dish of Dry Aged CAB Beef Ribeye sees the Certified Angus Beef expertly grilled and accompanied by grilled broccolini, confit tomatoes and crispy French fries, celebrating quality and tradition.

The menu also spotlights M7 Wagyu Flat Iron Steak, a premium cut of well-marbled Australian wagyu perfectly cooked and served with maitake mushroom, witlof (Belgian endive), pickled onion, potato pavé and rich beef jus, ensuring a flavourful feast. Reimagined classic desserts bring the dining adventure to a satisfying sweet climax, such as an Asian-inspired Mango Coconut Pavlova uniting coconut mousse, pomelo, coconut and mango, or delicate Poached Pear enriched with toffee pudding and vanilla ice cream.

Elevating the waterside dining experience is a thoughtfully curated wine list featuring both old and new world offerings, and a star selection of innovative cocktails and mocktails imagined by expert in-house mixologists. Signature concoctions like Watermark , an exquisite balance of sweetness and tanginess; T-Sunset distilling the vibrancy of dusk turning to night; and Harbour Breeze blending exotic spirits with fresh, local ingredients, are not to be missed. Those preferring a non-alcoholic concoction can relish the refreshing and visually stunning Aurora, while On Board presents a tropical escape in each harmonious sip.

Each cocktail is expertly crafted to complement the cuisine, inviting diners to savour a sensory journey that embraces a magical moment in time, whether enjoyed beside breathtaking sea views during the day and at sunset, or the harbour lights twinkling at night.

Reflecting a serene retreat with a modern vibe, the restaurant is brightened by natural sunlight during the day and atmospherically illuminated by night. Inspired by the iconic Star Ferry, the enchanting decor, with nautical features like anchor-inspired ceiling lamps and wave lighting effects, reflects the vitality of the sea and sky. This destination dining venue is a must for visitors looking to embrace Hong Kong’s waterside heritage and stunning harbour views, and locals seeking an airy, atmospheric escape from shopping-mall restaurants. An ideal setting for the upcoming event season, it provides a remarkable backdrop for corporate gatherings, intimate weddings and other unforgettable social celebrations.

From now until 30 November 2024, Watermark offers a special treat for those ordering the Seafood Platter. Guests can enhance their dining experience with a refreshing Inedit Damm Beer for a perfect pairing of flavours. This exclusive limited-time offer promises a culinary journey that celebrates the sea’s bounty and the art of fine dining, all set against the backdrop of stunning views of Victoria Harbour.

“We are thrilled to reopen Watermark for public dining. Our revitalised menu pays homage to the coastal environment, emphasising freshness and creativity, while our location remains one of the best in Hong Kong. We look forward to welcoming guests back to experience the beauty of the harbour alongside our culinary creations,” said Angelo McDonnell, CEO of Hong Kong’s Cafe Deco Group.
