Mandarin Oriental to open Terrace Boulud in Hong Kong

Terrace Boulud is designed by Malherbe Paris taking its cue from French brasseries

Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong has revealed its plans to open Terrace Boulud in the dining space previously occupied by SEVVA.

The space is now part of Mandarin’s million-dollar revamp which will see public spaces, guest rooms, the hotel spa and hotel dining facilities all receiving a major upgrade.

The new dining spot on the 25th floor of the LANDMARK PRINCE’s building in Central was formerly a popular dining and cocktail spot operated for more than a decade by Hong Kong entrepreneur Bonnae Gokson. SEVVA closed its doors for the final time in May last year.

Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong and LANDMARK announced details this week of the new dining venture, which will be led by French chef Daniel Boulud. The space will be known as Terrace Boulud and is scheduled to open in January 2026. Access to the restaurant will be from the hotel via an existing enclosed walkway. 

Terrace Boulud will open for lunch, afternoon tea, cocktails and dinner and will feature an expansive rooftop terrace with views of the Hong Kong skyline and Victoria Harbour.

The new space is scheduled to open this winter

Daniel Boulud also helms an eponymous New York Michelin-starred flagship restaurant, Daniel, which has outposts in Palm Beach, Riyadh and the Bahamas. Terrace Boulud will see him reinterpret classic French bistro favourites with a contemporary twist, complemented by Asian-inspired creations. A seasonal menu will focus on four culinary inspirations, ‘La Tradition’ (French classics), ‘La Saison’ (market specialities), ‘Le Potager’ (the vegetable garden) and ‘Le Voyage’ (exotic flavours from around the world). 

Work will begin on the space this month. It has been designed by Malherbe Paris, who is also responsible for redesigning the public and wellness spaces at Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong. Textural contrasts, curved woodwork, hand-crafted details and layered lighting will mesh Parisian sophistication with the “lush vibrancy” of Hong Kong, as well as highlighting local artisanship.

Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong’s revamp is part of the wider, billion-dollar ‘Tomorrow’s CENTRAL’ transformation of Hong Kong’s LANDMARK buildings, which will eventually see the launch of ten luxury retail ‘maisons’, 100 restaurants, bars and grab-and-go outlets and nine outdoor terraces.
