In a world in upheaval, Hong Kong diners are not only looking for great flavours on the palate, but also some mental respite. Themed around the early farmacias of pre-war Buenos Aires, where traditional herbs, flowers and roots were often prescribed alongside modern medication, Boticario delivers comfort cuisine and intriguing beverages that will soothe the soul and calm the mind.

Tapping into this rich heritage, Boticario, opening on Tsim Sha Tsui East’s waterfront at the end of October. The two-level restaurant and cocktail bar combines a comfortable main dining room in earthy brown and green hues with alfresco seating on the terrace and patio, a menu of indulgent yet accessible Mediterranean and Latin dishes, and visually striking cocktail program laced with home-made sodas, phosphates, tonics, tinctures, and infusions, and craft spirits.

The vibe of the Boticario, the original South American pharmacies, is captured with botanical floral wallpaper, antique metal ceiling panels, apothecary cabinets filled with intriguing ingredients, forest green banquette seating, and pendant light fixtures. However, this is no mere medical waiting room; Buenos Aires’ heyday will return thanks to an ever-changing roster of live music acts, turning this house of healing into a popular swing salon. Free your mind, dine your cares away, take to the tango floor, and embrace the Argentinian way of life – it’s just what the doctor ordered. (Nov 2020)
