Our Story

Where Hong Kong meets the North

Asian sensibility, Nordic roots, a local larder

æra opened in 2023 with a kitchen rooted in Hong Kong's seasonal ingredients. Chef Chevalier Yau pairs Asian flavours with Scandinavian techniques, taking inspiration from Swedish culinary traditions while letting the local produce lead.

In 2025 we moved to the 30th floor of Connaught Marina in Sheung Wan. The room is intimate and light-filled, with floor-to-ceiling views of Victoria Harbour and an open prep station that puts guests close to the craft.

Dinner follows an eight-course seasonal tasting menu, while lunch offers a separate menu with a choice of starters and mains, followed by dessert. Wine and non-alcoholic pairings are available, and the menus change with the season.

The Kitchen

Chef Chevalier Yau

Executive Chef / Co-founder

Chef Chevalier Yau leads æra with a refined culinary vision that brings together craftsmanship, creativity, and a deep appreciation for natural ingredients. His cooking draws on Scandinavian techniques and Swedish culinary traditions, bringing an Asian sensibility to peak-season local Hong Kong ingredients.

He is joined in the kitchen by Chef Sheen Foh and Sommelier Teresa Hitchin, who shape the dining experience alongside him — precise, personal, and guided by the season.

Homemade non-alcoholic pairing

Our non-alcoholic pairing provides a thoughtful, homemade complement to every course, bringing balance, depth, and intention to the dining experience. Allowing you to enjoy a complete and satisfying meal without ever having to worry about having alcohol on the table.


Our commitment to the land

Local sourcing

We use fresh, local ingredients that feature Hong Kong's wonderful resources that are yet to be discovered.

Zero-waste kitchen

Off cuts become stocks, stocks become sauces for maximum flavor. We also utilize ingredients to make beverages.
