Maison ES is a Canto–French fusion restaurant in Wan Chai, known for its vintage charm, garden-themed interiors and photogenic details, from the floral-framed entrance to curated antiques, making it one of Hong Kong’s most Instagram-ready dining rooms. Founded in 2015 by Chef Esther Sham Ei-hung, whose Shanghainese roots, Californian upbringing and French training shape the concept, it captures a refined yet playful East-meets-West spirit.
The tasting menu opens with a rich truffle coddled egg in a mason jar, setting the tone for inventive fusion. Classic French dishes gain distinctly Hong Kong accents, with Kagoshima chuck rib steak tartare paired with satay emulsion and rice vermicelli crisps, French pigeon with roast-goose-like aroma and sweet plum jus, cuttlefish ‘noodles’ in curry sauce and Wagyu Wellington enriched with chu hou fermented bean sauce.
