MAXIMAL AROUND THE GLOBE

The Ethos

All top restaurants are created from 100 small elements that must come together in harmony to create a gastronomic experience that is unique to the establishment and unlike anything previously encountered by the guest.

A great brand offers depth, experience, resonance and soul, revealing itself to you over time while building a relationship with your subconscious.

When we create brands in Hong Kong and beyond, we operate with strong ethical sourcing practices. We go back to the fundamentals of cooking: knowing where your food comes from; understanding and appreciating the story while trying to sustainably source the best flavors to maximise each dish.

We believe that creating memorable dishes relies on more than just sourcing the highest quality ingredients. It also rests on utilising the most innovative techniques, pushing the boundaries of traditional cooking and reinventing food experiences.

Working outside the confines of “normal”, we harness the power of creativity, media, talent, taste and community to push ourselves to break boundaries.

Through careful nourishment, relentless searching and a corporate DNA built on group growth, we have attracted talented individuals, all of whom inspire each other day in, day out to create the best brands out there.
