Luxury Swiss watchmaker Franck Muller may be known for its exquisite timepieces, but with the launch of a new concept in Hong Kong, they’re making a foray into the city’s dining scene. Located on the second floor of Maison Franck Muller and ideally suited for business travellers looking for an intimate yet cost effective lunch spot, is Francesco by Franck Muller, a chic new eatery in Causeway Bay.

The restaurant serves an unique fusion of Italian and Japanese cuisine which boasts a modern spin on traditional dishes. Signature dishes here include the Sashimi Octupus Salad; the Waguy Oxtail Stew; Linguini Topped with Scallops Au Gratin; and Baked French Chicken Casserole. To satisfy those with a sweet tooth, the restaurant’s pastry chef creates a sumptuous selection of fresh, traditional pastries every day.

The restaurant’s interior is an amalgamation of chic yet playful designs and shades that heavily references Franck Muller’s Colour Dreams collection. www.francescobyfrank.com
