Bâtard Hong Kong

Bâtard sits on the second floor of the Pedder Building, a stone’s throw from the IFC Mall. It is a French, contemporary kitchen that holds a Michelin star.

The dining room runs smart and elegant, but the real utility here is the geography. While most restaurants in Central lean toward high-turnover business lunches, this space opts for a slower, deliberate tempo that suits its location inside a historic landmark rather than a glass tower. It is a five-minute walk from The Landmark, yet it feels far quieter than the packed bistros surrounding the nearby office blocks. Choose this venue if you prefer a focused, creative approach to French cooking over the frantic energy typically found elsewhere in the district.
