TASTE | GOURMET
THE NEW CLASSICS Porterhouse by Laris 餐廳不單是供應食物的地方，更是一個概念的傳遞。Porterhouse by Laris 座落於蘭桂坊新加州大厦，開業後旋即成為香港最 炙手可熱的扒房。Porterhouse 由國際知名的廚師暨餐飲企業家 David Laris 及餐飲集團 Eclipse 聯手掌舵，致力重新塑造扒 房的餐飲體驗，並為扒房的概念再下定義。 A restaurant is not just a space where food is served; it is a concept. Since it’s inception at the rebranded California Tower at Lan Kwai Fong, Porterhouse by Laris has quickly risen to become the most buzzed about steakhouse in Hong Kong. Under the helms of internationally acclaimed chef and restaurateur David Laris and Eclipse Hospitality Group, Porterhouse sets out to redefine the experience and concept of a steakhouse.

Helming a portfolio of over 100 restaurants around the world, Laris approached each and every of his restaurant with careful thorough programming, from the interior to the platings. A sensual rustic aura welcomes guests as you step into the restaurant. A modern yet timeless ambience is created by aesthetics such as the mosaic angular glass panels inspired by the Fibonacci mathematical sequence on the high ceiling. It is just one of the few elements designed by the prestigious Shanghai-based interior design firm Kokai Studios.
David Laris 於 2 月 的 問中為餐廳冠以「以現代 的方式 的美好」之名，深感自 。
In lieu of HK Art Week, we asked Laris how ‘art’ is applied in context to his cuisines.
“Celebrating traditions in a contemporary way” – a term David Laris proudly coined his restaurant when we spoke to him back in February.
“Art in general should create thought – this applies to the composition of the plating aesthetics as well,” he said. From positioning, structure and even the way it is served, Laris’ dishes attain an organic unbalanced beauty where the magic is in its simplicity – we recommend you to ‘experience’ the Lobster Bisque.
