It’s almost October, but there’s still a stack of restaurant and bar openings to come in 2024, from glitzy, elevated diners at The Star, to a homely neighbourhood eatery in West End. Here’s what we’re most looking forward to. Central A Hong Kong-themed dumpling restaurant from the team behind Southside and Rick Shores should be enough to get your attention – the fact it’s hidden underground in the middle of the CBD and has been designed by Jared Webb (Gerard’s Bistro) only helps seal the deal.
On the menu will be dim sum, wok and barbecued dishes. For drinks, there will be a wine list that leans into interesting drops by the glass and half bottle (via Coravin), and a cocktail list that twists the classics. Southside team to open Hong Kong-inspired dumpling spot in heart of CBD Central will open in October and seat 80 diners.
Azteca From Potentia Solutions Leisure (Soko, Lina) comes Azteca, which will open mid-to-late October and fuse Latin American and Asian cuisine. The 126-seat restaurant will sit on Queen’s Wharf’s fourth-floor Terrace and feature fabric and tiled walls, mosaic and Aztec-inspired artwork, live greenery, custom-made brass tables, and semi-private circular dining booths. First look: Soko team unveils an Aztec-inspired eatery for Queen’s Wharf Drinks will centre around a cocktail list that matches Latin American spirits to Asian spices and flavours.
Stan’s Stan’s will permanently take over the upper floor of hit Cantonese restaurant St.
