CARVER at Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Causeway Bay Presents Memorable Winter Wonders with a Sumptuous Dinner Tasting Menu and Exciting New Weekday and Weekend Lunch Offerings
Hong Kong – CARVER, the enthralling contemporary steakhouse located at Crowne Plaza in the heart of Causeway Bay, introduces three new menus to celebrate the winter season. With a lavish tasting menu of sumptuous signatures at dinner, and tempting lunches served on weekdays and at the weekend, the enjoyment of superb food in an atmosphere of conviviality is amplified.
As the cooler weather sets in, CARVER provides memories to warm the heart, no matter the occasion – whether gathering with friends or family for an enchanting evening of gastronomy or a leisurely, lively lunch on holidays or during the week, or hosting clients for an impressive business lunch with exquisite food and exemplary service.
CARVER Elevates the Steakhouse Experience with a Deluxe Dinner Tasting Menu
The culinary team presents a plethora of the kitchen’s finest dishes in an evening tasting menu that combines innovation, indulgence and the finest ingredients. Priced at HK$598 per person (two-person minimum), this exceptional set offers a range of tantalising appetiser, main and dessert options, inviting diners to curate their own gastronomic experience.
The three-course extravaganza begins with a choice of four temptations. A classic start would be CARVER Caesar Salad, featuring crispy bacon bits, garlic croutons and a generous sprinkling of cheese, or perhaps the Forest Mushroom Potage, infused with the comforting, earthy fragrance and flavour of winter truffle. Alternatively, diners may opt for Heirloom Tomato and Bocconcini Cheese Salad, delicately garnished with micro herbs, dotted with sourdough chips, and drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar. For those seeking seafood delight, Deep-Fried Soft Shell Shrimp served with kale and red coral salad and a refreshing lemon and lime dressing is an excellent choice.
Moving onto the mains, diners may wish to savour succulent, flavourful USDA Prime 45-Day Dry Aged Bone-in Short Loin, weighing a generous 700g – the premium cut reflecting the pinnacle of CARVER excellence in steak preparation. Other delectable main options include the melt-in-the-mouth Wagyu Flank Steak M9 (300g) from Australia; Patagonian Toothfish, the oil-rich fish baked in the oven and complemented by a luscious sauce of browned butter; and Orange Butter Chicken – tender poultry enlivened by thyme, garlic and a creamy orange sauce.
A choice of three heavenly desserts brings the evening to the sweetest of conclusions. MoMo pairs vanilla mascarpone tart with poached white peach and refreshing blueberry ice cream, while Pear delightfully fuses the caramelised fruit with tangy goat’s cheese cake and velvety vanilla ice cream. Lastly, in a chocolate lover’s dream, decadent 70% dark chocolate marquise, crunchy chocolate honeycomb and piquant raspberry sorbet come together for the most tempting Chocolat dessert.
On any evening, diners looking to dip into CARVER’s bespoke beef dry-aging cabinet can add further signatures from an expansive a la carte menu. Most notably, the coffee-tinged beefy tenderness of 20-day House Dry-Aged U.S. Striploin with Coffee Grounds, 340g (HK$568) featuring premium Arabica grounds and herbs rubbed into the meat during the aging period. Striploin A4, Miyazaki, Japan, 200g (HK$498) and 45-day Bone-in Short Loin, USDA Prime 700g (HK$880) are among a myriad of other steak standouts.
For meaty variety, there is Kurobuta Bone-in Pork Chop (HK$308) slow-cooked with rosemary and olive oil. Broiled Jumbo Prawn (HK$378) with thermidor butter and whole Boston Lobster (HK$488) cooked to order – grilled, poached or baked with cheese – extend the contemporary steakhouse’s scope from land to sea.
Indulge in a Leisurely Weekend Feast with CARVER’s Tempting Lunch Menu
A new weekend lunch menu (from HK$318 per person) brings boundless enjoyment on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays (12 noon to 2:30 p.m.). The substantial assortment of culinary attractions starts with soup of the day, cold appetisers and an unlimited salad bar, followed by a choice of main course and as many sweets from the dessert bar as a diner can muster. An enhanced dining experience awaits wine connoisseurs, with the option to enjoy a variety of sommelier-selected sparkling, red and white wines as well as beer and soft drinks for just HK$168 extra per person – a two-hour free-flow pleasure originally priced at HK$280.
Main-course enticements, which are rotated every two weeks, run the gamut from hearty to healthy and may include Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni; Barbecue Pork Ribs with beer French fries, grilled pineapple and smoked bacon jus; Turkey Roulade served with wild mushroom, foie gras and cranberry turkey sauce; Braised Beef Cheek; and AUS Striploin M3 (HK$98 supplement) accompanied by beer fries, garden vegetables and gravy.
Savour an Exquisite Weekday Lunch Experience for Business or Pleasure at CARVER
Skilfully setting the right tone at lunch for both business appointments and casual rendezvous, CARVER seamlessly caters for all during the week. It presents a new weekday lunch menu with the change of the season, showcasing delectable meat in inviting sauces and the freshest produce sourced worldwide. Lunch can span two courses (HK$238 per person), three courses (HK$268) or four courses (HK$338) with menu options refreshed every two weeks for a delectable lunch experience, available from Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) from 12 noon to 2:30 p.m.
Cold appetisers include Beef Tartare featuring beef with cured egg yolk and toast, and the chef’s speciality of Beetroot Feta Cheese Salad. Pan-seared Scallop, and Borscht Soup are among the heartwarming hot appetisers.
Main courses echo the signatures served at the weekend lunch – Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni; Barbecue Pork Ribs; Turkey Roulade; Braised Beef Cheek; and AUS Striploin M3 (supplementary HK$98). The sweet-toothed can conclude their lunchtime indulgence with dessert, including Fruit Delicacy; Dry Fruit Pudding; or the decadent Eggnog Bavarian Cream featuring cranberry coulis, ginger crumble and vanilla cream that exudes holiday cheer. Alternatively, end the meal with a cup of Coffee or Tea.
The ideal spot for joyous gatherings, both large and small, CARVER offers a clean-lined, gleaming yet soothing contemporary allure that is a far departure from the dark-lit steakhouses of yore. Commanding attention at the entrance is a showpiece beef dry-aging cabinet that stands almost 13ft high. Encased in glass and limestone, the temperature-and-humidity-controlled space displays an array of house dry-aged wonders.
Sleek, modern interiors benefit from a restful colour palette interspersed with bright upholstery and swathes of light oak and white marble. Striking bronze accents dress the wood-clad columns and the illuminated bar, where mirrors and pearlescent tiles create a bold evening attraction for pre- and post-prandial drinks.
