Hong Kong Coffee Lovers, It's Time to Act!

For those who drink a lot of coffee, sometimes you want to try something new. If coffee is incorporated into dishes, will it pique your curiosity? Nicholini's Restaurant has collaborated with LAVAZZA Coffee to integrate coffee into Italian cuisine, bringing delightful surprises.

A Unique Coffee Experience

Coffee emits its unique fragrant charm, bringing endless inspiration to chefs. The Conrad Hong Kong has recently brought an exclusive experience for coffee lovers, introducing premium LAVAZZA KAFA coffee to Hong Kong. At the Italian restaurant Nicholini's, they have created a tasting feast where coffee and gourmet cuisine blend together.

Chef's Innovative Creations

Italian chef Riccardo Catarsi incorporates fragrant and mellow coffee into dishes, complementing different seasonal ingredients. From August 2nd, he will present limited-time innovative and distinctive taste experiences. These are paired with various expertly crafted cocktails that fully showcase the aroma and characteristics of KAFA coffee, bringing a unique fragrance.

Coffee and Cocktails

The chef skillfully integrates coffee into seasonal ingredients, creating dishes that enhance the flavors and layers between both food and coffee. The menu begins with a fruit-rich KAFA facon sangria cocktail to awaken guests' taste buds, followed by a fresh and sweet lobster appetizer with garlic cream, bell pepper bits, and sprinkled freshly ground coffee powder - refreshing and appetite-stimulating. The appetizer is paired with Coffeetail N°10 with Bombay Gin, offering a unique stimulating taste between fruit sweetness and bitter notes.

LAVAZZA Coffee

The double cheese porcini risotto is simmered in a sauce made with extra-strong coffee, onion cream, and other ingredients. The woody aroma of coffee also complements the forest-like primitive fragrance of porcini mushrooms. It's paired with Coffeetail Spritz, a special sparkling cocktail made with cold brew coffee and orange liqueur, offering a rich and sweet taste.

Italian Risotto

The main course features slow-roasted lamb chops accompanied by cherries, almonds, and coffee polenta, with well-balanced flavors. The dessert Dolce Ponce is inspired by the lemon coffee from Chef Riccardo's hometown Livorno, including coffee macarons, chocolate rum mousse, lemon sponge cake, white coffee ice cream, and brown sugar crisps - rich in texture. Finally, it concludes with a cup of KAFA extra-strong coffee.
