Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, together with the prestigious French chef Daniel Boulud, is set to open Terrace Boulud Hong Kong in January 2026. This exciting new dining venture will debut on the 25th floor of LANDMARK PRINCE’S in Central, offering a unique French culinary experience paired with breathtaking views of the Hong Kong skyline and Victoria Harbour. This marks the first time Chef Boulud’s celebrated French cuisine will be presented in Asia and represents a new chapter in Mandarin Oriental’s renowned legacy of gastronomic excellence.
A Historic Culinary Milestone for Mandarin Oriental and Central Hong Kong
Since its founding in 1963, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong has been a cornerstone of the city’s luxury hospitality and culinary scenes. The flagship hotel itself boasts nine acclaimed restaurants and bars, including several Michelin-starred establishments, earning a reputation for exceptional dining experiences over the past six decades. Terrace Boulud’s opening in LANDMARK PRINCE’S will be the first dining venture by Mandarin Oriental outside its iconic hotel premises, extending its culinary influence within Central’s premier retail and business district.
LANDMARK PRINCE’S Transformation and Dining Excellence
The new restaurant launch aligns with the ongoing $1 billion transformation project known as ‘Tomorrow’s CENTRAL’, led by Hongkong Land. This ambitious redevelopment will revamp LANDMARK to house ten world-class luxury retail maisons and over one hundred diverse dining and beverage outlets. Upon completion, the district will feature nine outdoor terraces and a host of premium restaurants, making it a vibrant hub for locals and visitors alike. Mandarin Oriental already manages sixteen dining venues across Central and LANDMARK, collectively holding nine Michelin stars, a testament to its culinary prestige in Hong Kong.
Terrace Boulud: Chef Daniel Boulud’s Culinary Vision Comes to Asia
Terrace Boulud represents the personal and artistic evolution of Chef Daniel Boulud, whose global presence spans flagship Michelin-starred restaurants in New York, Toronto, Palm Beach, Riyadh, and the Bahamas. The menu will creatively reinterpret classic French bistro dishes with a modern touch and incorporate Asian-inspired elements. Guests can anticipate a seasonally rotating selection anchored by four signature themes:
- La Tradition — classic French dishes rooted in time-honored recipes
- La Saison — market-fresh specialties reflecting seasonal ingredients
- Le Potager — vegetable-focused creations celebrating garden-fresh produce
- Le Voyage — a fusion of exotic global flavors inspired by international travels
Ambiance and Experience: Elegance Meets International Glamour
Nestled high above the bustling cityscape, Terrace Boulud’s location offers an elegant yet welcoming atmosphere evoking the timeless charm of a French café fused with Hong Kong’s cosmopolitan allure. Guests will enjoy an extensive dining experience featuring lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner service. The expansive rooftop terrace will serve innovative cocktails, a curated selection of fine wines, and carefully chosen local craft beers, all while delivering panoramic views of the harbour and city lights late into the evening.
Artistic Interior Design by Malherbe Paris
The design concept for Terrace Boulud will be developed by Malherbe Paris, a design studio acclaimed for its bold storytelling and sophisticated hospitality environments. Drawing inspiration from the golden age of French brasseries and the elegance of luxury train travel, the interiors will merge Parisian refinement with the dynamic energy of Hong Kong. Features will include rich textures, curved woodwork, handcrafted details, and layered lighting, creating an immersive space that honors local craftsmanship and celebrates the French Art de Vivre with a contemporary Asian twist.
Strategic Location and Seamless Connectivity
The restaurant will be directly connected to Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, via an enclosed walkway, providing seamless access for hotel guests and visitors from Central. Situated on the 25th floor of LANDMARK PRINCE’S, the venue will capitalize on one of the most iconic locations in the city, delivering unmatched views of the Victoria Harbour and the dazzling Hong Kong skyline, enhancing the overall dining experience.
