Moxie will offer mainly vegetarian dishes as well as some sustainably sourced seafood options. Signatures will include Ruby Beetroots with Taiwanese Mango, Feta and Jalapeño Dressing; Three Grain Mapo Tofu; Seared Fremantle Octopus with Broccolini, Fresh Burrata and Salsa Verde and desserts such as Warm Chocolate Tart with Espresso Chantilly and Mille Feuille with Seasonal Fruits and Coconut Pastry Cream.
Moxie’s Head Chef Michael Smith states: “Moxie has been created as an approachable and produce driven restaurant. We draw inspiration from working closely with our suppliers and our dish ideas center around in-season ingredients we are proud to showcase. Our contemporary cooking style will allow fora dynamic menu including daily specials changing with the seasons and availability.”
Located on the mezzanine floor of Alexandra House, LANDMARK, Moxie was designed by Pure Creative, who also designed Arcane with Shane Osborn back in 2014. Given a brief to keep the theme both natural and vegetal to complement the cooking, the space has been kept simple with a focus on the open kitchen as the core of the restaurant, with its black cladded metal counter and light blue grey marble top. Natural oak wood was also used for the woodfins screens, floor and furniture, and the surrounding gun powder black metalfinish acts as a black canvas, bringing a dramatic touch to the general ambiance. The wood fins enclosure is an important design element, keeping theoutside seating areas cozy yet bold. The undulating partition alongside thecorridor helps to break down its linear monotony, as the slanted fins create anoptical sense of movement while walking through.
Shane Osborn of The Arcane Collective concludes: “I am so proud of the launch of Moxie as the third restaurant of The Arcane Collective. We have worked tirelessly to put together menus that are ethically sourced that also offer outstanding,innovative food that people want to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.”
Shane adds;“The Arcane Collective is an independently-minded ingredient-led family of restaurants. Through it, I want to help nurture the next generation of culinary and hospitality talent, to sustain our invaluable community of producers and suppliers in Hong Kong.”
Moxie is located at Shop 203, 2/F Alexandra House, LANDMARK, Central and has a maximum seating capacity of 42 pax.
Moxie opens its doors for all-day dining including lunch and dinner on Monday 23 August 2021. Moxie will start offering cooked breakfast options from late September 2021.
