Amber.

Since its launch, Amber at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong has challenged the status quo of fine dining in Hong Kong and beyond, attracting a global audience of discerning gourmands for its innovative approach to French cuisine. Its most recent evolution has ushered in a new era of responsible contemporary dining, with a thoroughly reimagined dining experience, recognised for 14 consecutive years two Michelin-stars and The Michelin Green Star in 2022.

In the elegantly composed dining room created by renowned New York firm Tihany Design, Culinary Director Richard Ekkebus and his team continue to redefine cuisine for a modern audience, with consciously sourced ingredients whose innate flavours and nourishment are celebrated through a foundation of French technique.

This is the reason that Restaurant Amber choose Annoncer;

“In Amber at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong we have looked in bringing the digital experience to another level, creating a seamless guest experience and gain in significant efficiencies in our operations. Annoncer is an integral part where our table management & POS systems are seamlessly integrated into an extremely efficient operation. Where all departments have access to important operational data. Where we normally have one of the most senior chefs and a senior service member managing the pass, Annoncer manages this process seamless for us, so we have not gained in efficiency, we have also enabled our key team members to look after the quality of a guest experience and not the tickets”
