After 14 years it’s adieu for Pierre, the fine-dining French restaurant on the top floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong hotel.
The two-Michelin-star restaurant by celebrity chef Pierre Gagnaire will close on July 31 and make way for a new concept that the hotel says it will reveal later.
The entire 25th floor will see other changes in a six-month renovation, with M Bar closing down and the Chinese restaurant Man Wah will take over the space.
“Man Wah will have a refreshed look and Chinese executive chef Wong Wing-keung will revamp the menu,” says Jenny Johnston, the hotel's director of marketing communications. “Man Wah will expand into that space and we listened to our diners to add more private dining space.”


Johnston says the renovations have been in the works for years. The staff at Pierre will be sent to work at other restaurants and hotels within the Jardine Matheson group. Chef de cuisine Jacky Tauvry will return to Paris after four years at Pierre.
There are five-course, seven-course and nine-course dinner menus priced at HK$1,688, HK$1,988 and HK$2,388 respectively, and a Saturday lunch menu offering three courses for HK$888 or five courses for HK$1,288.


Guests who dine on the last day will receive a keepsake from the restaurant, though Johnston would not divulge what it will be.
In addition Man Wah will have special dinner menus before it closes for renovations with five courses at HK$888 and HK$1,688 for eight.
