Chef Simon Rogan on his Roganic restaurantโ€™s new Hong Kong location, revamped menu


Roganic Hong Kong โ€“ in a new location, with a new menu โ€“ has achieved something magical.

It has created a warm and woody, cocoon-like space where diners feel connected with nature despite being in the heart of the cityโ€™s bustling Causeway Bay shopping district.

The timber used on the walls is reclaimed, and the chunky tables and curved structures around the dining room are made of wood salvaged from trees knocked over by typhoons or that have fallen because of old age.

Weaving upcycled material into the design makes sense considering the strong sustainability vision of Simon Rogan, the British chef who opened Roganic in Sino Plaza, just a few blocks from its new home in Lee Garden One, in 2019.

A branch of its London namesake, Roganic quickly positioned itself as a culinary hotspot, winning fans and accolades including a Michelin star in 2020 and Hong Kongโ€™s first Michelin green star the following year.

Now Rogan, a pioneer of Britainโ€™s farm-to-fork movement, is hoping to impress again with a menu that remains rooted in zero-waste principles despite being completely different from the menu at the former location.
