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.

His cooking draws on Scandinavian techniques and Swedish culinary traditions, bringing an Asian sensibility to peak-season local Hong Kong ingredients.
