The Lounge at ZEST by Konishi has finally opened and offers discerning diners a range of luxurious bar snacks, bento boxes, power lunches and creative cocktails high above the city.
The Lounge at ZEST by Konishi was one of the year’s most eagerly anticipated new openings. Set on the 29th floor of 18 On Lan Street, above ZEST by Konishi, it pays tribute to Japanese culture with its scrumptious express set menus, inspired bar bites, craft spirits and collection of luscious cocktails.
Renowned globally for his haute cuisine, two Michelin-starred Chef Konishi heads into new territory at The Lounge with beautifully presented casual cuisine infused with flavours influenced by his Japanese roots, along with a drinks menu that takes guests on a voyage of liquid discovery.
From noon until 5pm choose one of the lunch sets, like US Beef short rib udon, or the assorted sashimi Kaisendon bento box. All sets come with a side dish or miso soup, salad, pickles and sweet of the day.
After 5pm, the bar menu introduces a mix of Japanese-inspired hot and cold delights. The yellowtail tuna carpaccio served with house-made ponzu, and the braised Iberico pork ribs served with sweet chilli sauce are sublime.
The supporting drinks menu includes a carefully curated collection of whiskies from boutique distilleries in Scotland and Ireland, alongside some fine cocktails. Favourite libations include St. Tropez, a take on the classic Kir Royal. For the wow factor, choose Eau De Mer. Served in a seashell, it is a mix of caviar-infused rum, white port, house-made seaweed syrup and earthy Roots Mastic liqueur.
