New restaurant and bars to try this month

RAISING THE BAR MASA HONG KONG

At this unconventional sushi bar in Central, chef Masataka “Masa” Fujisawa focuses on using dry-aged fish and seafood, such as uni that is cured for three days in edible konbu kelp before being used to top nigiri. Other highlights are the full sake cellar and stunning views over the Central Government Complex and the HSBC Main Building. masa-hk.com

REAL RESPITE THE LAST RESORT

Black Sheep Restaurants’ Canadianthemed dive bar stays true to canon, with nostalgic drink menus inspired by alcohol-soaked college days (such as Long Island iced teas and rum sours) and hot chicken sandwiches perfected by chef Jowett Yu of Ho Lee Fook. thelastresort.com.hk

OH, CRUMBS COOKIE VISSION

Tai Hang recently welcomed a newcomer to the neighbourhood: local purveyor of baked goods Cookie Vission, which promises cookies fresh from the oven every hour. New to the menu at its first bricks-and-mortar space is the pookie—a cross between a puff pastry and a cookie—and hefty milkshakes. cookievission.com

HOT TO TROT

MR AND MRS FOX

This Quarry Bay brunch spot has emerged from a major renovation, turning its former industrial chic aesthetic into a bright, idyllic and nature-led sanctuary befitting its name. The menu has been given a facelift, too, and now features contemporary European delicacies and craft cocktails. mrmrsfox.com
