Living
in a country without a Michelin Guide, the idea of dining at a
3-Michelin Starred restaurant can seem like an unattainable holy
grail. Sure, we've got some truly exceptional restaurants in
Australia but the allure of the prestigious Michelin Star remains. So
when we realised that Hong Kong had a guide with a few Three Star
restaurants, it was inevitable that we'd have to make a gastronomic
pilgrimage to at least one of them. Almost immediately I was drawn to
Caprice - the French restaurant headed up by chef Vincent
Thierry (formerly of Le Cinq) and located in the luxurious Four
Seasons Hotel. Listed as the No. 12 Restaurant in S. Pellegrino's
Best Restaurants in Asia (and no. 73 in the world) and No. 20 in the
world on the Elite Traveler list, the consensus seemed to support my
immediate impression and I made reservations almost 6 months ahead.
