<p>It&#8217;s a bold move to open yet another resto-lounge in the rather-saturated party hub of Lan Kwai Fung, but Ignis by Linx, that opened doors just a few months ago on the first and second floors of California Tower, seems more equipped than most to meet the challenge.&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_45091" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-45091" style="width: 700px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-45091" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Interiors-at-Ignis-by-Linx.jpg" alt="Ignis by Linx" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Interiors-at-Ignis-by-Linx.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Interiors-at-Ignis-by-Linx-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Interiors-at-Ignis-by-Linx-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Interiors-at-Ignis-by-Linx-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Interiors-at-Ignis-by-Linx-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Interiors-at-Ignis-by-Linx-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Interiors-at-Ignis-by-Linx-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-45091" class="wp-caption-text">Interiors at Ignis by Linx</figcaption></figure>
<p>Sprawling over two floors – a modern club and lounge space on the first floor and a decadent dining room on the second, connected by a spiral atrium staircase – Ignis seems designed to allure the more sophisticated breed of revellers, those who wouldn&#8217;t settle for anything less than top-class tipples, while also enjoying a vibrant high-octane entertainment experience. And, thankfully, the bevvies at Ignis far from disappoint. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Under the careful craftsmanship of bar manager Paulo Quejano, the classic cocktails here get a modern makeover – so we have the timeless Old Fashioned given a contemporary twist with fat-washed bourbon, peanut butter and truffle, while the much-loved Cosmopolitan is reinterpreted with orange Curaçao liqueur, slow-cooked with raspberries, thyme and a hint of turmeric.&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_45086" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-45086" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-45086" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cosmopolitan.jpg" alt="Ignis by Linx" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cosmopolitan.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cosmopolitan-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cosmopolitan-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cosmopolitan-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Cosmopolitan-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-45086" class="wp-caption-text">Cosmopolitan</figcaption></figure>
<p>Suitably satiated, guests can turn their attention to matters more gastronomic, and here too, Ignis&#8217;s menu can hardly fail to impress discerning gourmands with its contemporary cuisine that deftly blends Western elements with Asian touches. It&#8217;s a feat achieved by none other than executive chef Mark Sin, who has previously worked at such acclaimed restaurants as Tom Aikens and Mirabelle in London, and Bo Innovation in Hong Kong.</p>

<p>From the carefully-curated menu, the standouts that we would recommend are, of course, the morels and king mushrooms with confit egg yolk, a rich decadent affair with creamy yolk and tomato puree, and the petite-sized lobster bisque, which featured a single lobster wanton in chili oil, a perfectly savoury appetite-enhancing start to any meal. Moving on to the mains, the grilled octopus leg with kimchi mayonnaise and ponzu daikon would vie for your attention, both due to its enormous portion and its soft, yet mildly charred texture. Another crowd-pleaser is easily the succulent mint-crusted lamb loin served with home-made onion jam and house-fermented pickled mustard.</p>

<p>It is, then, safe to say that it&#8217;s its cuisine and ambience that makes Ignis by Linx a worthy addition to Hong Kong&#8217;s favourite party destination, but only time will tell if the resto-lounge can capture and hold the fancy of the city&#8217;s famously fickle partygoers. We hope it does, because we&#8217;d like to give Ignis our metaphorical thumbs-up!</p>

Restaurant review: Ignis by Linx, a contemporary resto-lounge for sophisticated revellers

<div>
<p>Allan Zeman and&nbsp;Kuninori Matsuda, Consul General of Japan in Hong Kong, welcomed VIP guests and the media to FUMI&#8217;s launch party last January 18, 2018. The Japanese restaurant officially opened its doors on the 15th of January, inviting diners to enjoy seasonal menus, many created by celebrity guest chefs from Japan.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Japanese character for &#8216;culture&#8217; was incorporated in FUMI&#8217;s name, a nod to the concept&#8217;s vision of educating and promoting traditions from the land of the rising sun. The restaurant is planning to host Japanese dance performances, calligraphy demonstrations, sake tasting classes and talks on culinary heritage in the coming year. Watch this space for a restaurant review coming soon!</p>
