Embla

Unclaimed

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Embla, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish! The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of modern elegance and cozy charm. The staffs were incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel right at home. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The menu offers a creative fusion of ingredients that truly showcases the chef's talent and passion for culinary artistry. I highly recommend trying their gubbröra it was a standout! What really sets Embla apart is the attention to detail and the overall dining experience. From the carefully curated wine list to the thoughtful recommendations from the staff, every aspect of the meal was perfect. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Hong Kong, Embla is a must-visit. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. Thank you, Embla, for an unforgettable lunch!

The manager who greeted us and led us into the restaurant this afternoon was very nice and gave us a feeling of at home. The ambience of the restaurant is cosy. There is a bar area where you can see how the chef prepares food. We had a table with sofa on one side which was very comfy. The waiters were professional and checked on whether we had food allergies or restrictions. The waiter introduced each dish to us and refilled our empty cups with warm water frequently. We started with scrumptious butter milk bread and homemade butter. The aroma of the bread was full of rye and natural sweetness and homemade butter was extremely smooth. The Nordic snack was egg custard with tout eggs was delicious. Onion & liquorish veloue wasthe soup with caramelised onions, liquorice root and chopped almonds together with almond foam on top. When we mixed them well together, you would have some beautiful smell. For the main course, there were two choices. As we had a party of three, we tried them all by sharing the food. The pan seared scallops, white mushroom puree and Solaris (a type of grapes) veloute was nicely cooked which kept the tenderness of the scallops. Pork cheek, preserved lingonberry (a type of Sweden berry), red cabbage and pine corn gastrique was a real delicacy. The sweet and sour flavour of the lingonberry left me a remarkable impression on this dish. The pork cheek was tender and matched well with the lingonberry, red cabbage and pine corn. Finale of the lunch was brown butter ice cream, pickled apple, almond crumble and sea buckthorn is amazing. It’s crunchy, sweet and sour with a good balance. Inspiration ‘Fika’ with coffee surprised me as the Fika was freshly baked. They’re warm with crispy shell. We cleared all the dishes and without doubts, we loved the food and the services. Overall, this tasty lunch did make my day!

This has been the most memorable dining experience we’ve had in Hong Kong in a while. The food was exquisite and superbly paired with the Nordic wines and the service was top drawer. This restaurant has it all in my opinion. I highly recommend the set menu with Nordic wine pairing.

5 stars hardly do justice to this perfect evening that the talented Chef Jim and his lovely wife Petronella and their brilliant team created for us! We were so well received in the cosy restaurant and from the Gubbröra to the Fika our dinner was sublime! We all went away with an unforgettable experience of a meal. Thank you! We’ll be back.

We have been to the restaurant since it opened. The food keeps getting better and better. The Gubbrora, which is a traditional Swedish dish, is extremely tasty. The Nordic snack is small but delicious. They make their own bread and butter, which is excellent. I always want to take some home. The white asparagus and morel mushroom is a new dish, and I love it with the taste of baby onions. For the main course, I chose chicken stuffed with morel mushrooms. The chicken was very tender. The dessert is slightly too sweet for me. Anyway, the food is great, with friendly service and a very good atmosphere.
