Caprice, Hong Kong

Hardcore Holden nuts might take offence to a restaurant sharing the name of their top line model.



Other than the name, there’s actually a reasonable number of similarities. A modest, unassuming body, an engine room that’s whisper quiet, fully accessorised and luxurious interior. Both might take you to another place, one metaphorically, the other perhaps from Narre Warren to Hoppers Crossing.

But of course there some bleedin obvious differences. One is only available in Australia.

And the other is a 3 Michelin star restaurant in Hong Kong. Check out what it’s pumping out.
