Lagardère Travel Retail has partnered Chef Wolfang Puck to open the chef’s first Wolfgang Puck Kitchen in the arrivals hall of Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).

In a press release, the restaurant said it will “deliver a Californian-inspired interpretation of global comfort fare using high-quality seasonal ingredients” for the discerning traveler on-the-go.

The restaurant is now open for business from 630am – 0030am daily so travelers can enjoy their meals there or choose to have a beer or cocktail at the bar. The restaurant’s breakfast menu provides a selection of hearty American-style breakfast essentials, while the à la carte menu presents a contemporary twist on classic comfort dishes, using local and organic ingredients where possible.
