First opened in 1967 in Causeway Bay, Amigo, relocated to Happy Valley in 1976, is celebrating its nearly six decades of success in the French fine-dining sphere with the launch of its own house caviar, a perfect complement to the tailcoated and white-gloved servers, nightly live guitarists and vocalists, cedarwood walls and ceilings, and Christofle sterling silverware that have made the restaurant the institution that it is today.
Lightly salted, the sweet and briny Amigo caviar (HKD250/10g) is sourced from sturgeon found in the northeastern Chinese province of Heilongjiang bordering Russia. The branded caviar comes in a specially crafted metal tin embossed with Amigo’s iconic sun emblem.
Diners will receive a tin of this caviar accompanied by blinis to kick off the Amigo Indulgence caviar menu (HKD980 pp), six courses of French fine-dining bliss.
This limited-time dinner menu, available for ordering from Monday through Thursday until Jun. 9, also includes a soup course, seafood dish, grapefruit sherbet palate cleanser, meat dish, savoury interlude of quiche Lorraine, and jasmine mousse with strawberry jelly and laurel syrup for dessert.
We urge you to step out of your comfort zone and select the “Lady Curzon” turtle soup with curry cream foam, an Amigo signature with a recipe dating back to the early 1900s, when Lady Mary Curzon, the wife of the viceroy of India, created it for a banquet.
A three-glass wine package of sparkling, white, and red can be added for HKD298 per person.
Those who enjoy the caviar menu are entitled to purchase tins of Amigo caviar at a 50% discount on the night, takeaway only.
