Gaddi's is a French haute cuisine restaurant situated in The Peninsula Hong Kong hotel. It was opened in 1953 and named after a former general manager of The Peninsula, Leo Gaddi. The current chef de cuisine is Albin Gobil.
The decor is meant to evoke old Hong Kong and the hotel's original 1928 neoclassical architecture. It has a European dining room, with two six-foot crystal-and-silver chandeliers from Paris, Tai Ping carpets, and a Chinese coromandel screen dating from 1670.[1]
It also created the first chef's table in Hong Kong where the Chef Table diners sit at a special table beside the Gaddi's kitchen viewing the dishes being prepared.
The food is classically French but with inventive European influences.Online Frommer's review
Examples of past dishes include:
There is a ten course tasting menu which lets the diners taste a sample of many of Gaddi's famous dishes.
The wine cellar is among the best and largest in Hong Kong, with a collection of rare vintages.
In a 2006 Independent feature on romantic dining, author Alexandra Antonioni wrote:
"They don't make restaurants like this any more and everyone should dine at Gaddi's at least once in their lifetime. Nothing can touch it for glamour and sheer indulgence."[2]
