THREE ON CANTON IN HONG KONG

KEE@FSWMAG.COM

WITH A NAME LIKE 'THREE ON CANTON' MOST WOULD ASSUME THE JOINT IS IN CANTON, CHINA, UP THE PEARL RIVER NOT TOO FAR FROM HONG KONG AS THE HONG KONGESE SPEAK CANTONESE ANYWAY.


But Three on Canton is on Canton Road, across Victoria Harbour on Kowloon side facing Hong Kong island aka Central. 


Three on Canton is the third floor (hence the name) of the newly revamped Gateway Hotel on Canton Road which houses all the best designer boutiques the way Central across the Fragrant Harbour does.

Well, it is, for want of a better word, an eatery and drinkery but on a mammoth scale that deserves a visit as it occupies the entire 3rd floor of Gateway Hotel and consumes 24,000 sq ft, the size of 24 apartments!

Sleek interiors sparkle with natural light, which in such an urban metropolis is precious. Marble topped communal tables induce a very social dining vibe.

Sculptural lighting fixtures are weaved metal installations and the wrap-around couch seating in the lounge area encourage a laid-back luxury. The entire restaurant is a chic minimalist design which blends the stylish use of marble and granite table-tops with a mix of shapes and culinary zones that serve as design accents.
