TEL: +852 2822 8870 www.conraddining.com/en/golden_leaf.html Representing the epitome of luxury Cantonese dining, Conrad Hong Kong’s Golden Leaf is a prime example of how solid execution of Chinese cuisine never goes out of style. A petite entrance leads guests into an intimate, carpeted dining room, where the high ceiling is accompanied by gold and ivory tones and dim lighting, creating a warm ambience. Guests should start with the restaurant’s signature premium tea selection, brewed to order. Golden Leaf takes great pride in reinventing classic Cantonese cuisine, with high standards and a strong focus on seafood dishes and hearty braises. Steamed crab claw atop silky smooth steamed egg whites with a touch of rice wine and zingy ginger is evidence of solid techniques bringing a simple dish to perfection. Meanwhile, an adequate selection of wines by the glass are available and service remains friendly and attentive throughout the meal, with staff checking in regularly.
