Capital M

It took seven years for Melbourne-born restaurateur Michelle Garnaut (owner and founder of M on the Fringe in Hong Kong and Shanghai’s M on the Bund) to make Capital M a reality. The results appear to have been well worth the effort. The terrace affords one of the most impressive views in the city, while the ornate dining room, with its signature parquet flooring and elegant lighting, is a suitably opulent setting for European culinary indulgence. A range of fine wines and classic cocktails are on offer at the bar, and small dishes, canapés and desserts are served in the Oval Room to the left of the bar from 5pm-midnight. Lunch, featuring smorrebrod (Danish open-faced sandwiches), is served throughout the day until 5pm and afternoon tea is available from 2-5pm. Voted "Best Afternoon Tea," "Best High End Brunch," "Outstanding Decor," "Outstanding for a Romantic Meal," "Outstanding for Impressing Visitors" and "Outstanding Restaurant of the Year (non-Chinese)" in the Beijinger's 2011 Reader Restaurant Awards.
