The New Wine Program and Dishes at Louise and La Terrace by Louise

Louise, the Michelin-starred restaurant on Hong Kong’s Aberdeen Street known for its heart-warming French cuisine, is introducing a brand-new wine program that promises a value-driven wine experience, which will be complemented by some new à la carte bistro-style food offerings.

This launch of the new wine program will be the ideal accompaniment to the newly expanded food menu at La Terrace by Louise, now curated for larger meals, including dinner.

The newly introduced program is one of many recent updates at the restaurant following the appointment of Executive Chef Loïc Portalier. This initiative is part of a series of changes to revitalise and elevate the Louise brand.

Among the other changes are a comprehensive transformation of the à la carte, sharing-style large plates, tasting, and snack menus for both Louise and La Terrace by Louise, along with new team additions.

Curated by Head Sommelier Jasmine Low, Louise and La Terrace by Louise now offer a meticulously curated selection of 750 labels (an increase from 500), showcasing a blend of traditional favourites and exciting new additions.
