Regent Hong Kong’s The Lobby Lounge has introduced a new seasonal menu inspired by New York deli culture, featuring a selection of sandwiches, burgers, and wraps complemented by Italian Venchi milkshakes. The offering aims to blend the familiar comfort of classic American deli fare with the scenic backdrop of Victoria Harbour.
The hotel, which reopened in November 2023 following an extensive renovation led by local designer Chi Wing Lo, has been recognized for its upscale transformation. It received the distinction of Hong Kong’s top hotel for the third consecutive year at the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific and ranked among the leading city hotels in Asia in the publication’s World’s Best Awards survey.
Central to the menu is the Mayura Wagyu Pastrami Sandwich, a nod to the late 19th-century immigrant delicatessens of New York. The dish features slow-cured, smoked, and hand-sliced Mayura Wagyu pastrami layered on toasted rye bread with sauerkraut and melted Swiss cheese. It retains the traditional peppery character of pastrami while offering a richer, more refined flavor.
Another highlighted item is the Regent Beef Burger, which pairs Australian Wagyu beef with black truffle, foie gras, and port wine onion compote, balanced by lettuce, tomato, and Pommery mustard. This combination evokes the indulgence of an American diner classic elevated for a more sophisticated dining experience.
Additional menu options include the Lobster Bun, blending Canadian lobster with green apple and celery; the Crab Club Sandwich, which combines snow crab, avocado, bacon, and lime mayonnaise; and the Tortilla Wrap, stuffed with Parmesan ham and mozzarella. These selections collectively navigate through deli nostalgia, seafood freshness, and light summer fare.
From July 1 to August 31, The Lobby Lounge is also featuring limited-edition Venchi Signature Shakes, each priced at HK$168 plus service charge. The lineup includes the Dark Silk Shake with reduced sugar and rich cocoa notes; Sunset Affogato, combining caramel and coffee; Harbour Crunch with cookies and cream; Cloudy Forest, a pistachio and vanilla blend; and Lychee Summer Breeze, which incorporates local summer fruit flavors.
The menu pairs specific dishes with signature shakes on a monthly basis. In July, the Regent Beef Burger is served alongside the Dark Silk Shake, the Lobster Bun with Harbour Crunch, and the Mayura Wagyu Pastrami Sandwich with Sunset Affogato. August features a return of the burger and Dark Silk Shake pairing, with the Crab Club Sandwich matched to Lychee Summer Breeze and the Tortilla Wrap paired with Cloudy Forest.
The concept merges the fast-paced energy and flavors of a New York deli with a relaxed, refined dining experience along Hong Kong’s harbourfront, encouraging guests to savor the food slowly while taking in the sweeping waterfront views.
