The second weekend of 2026 is setting an indulgent tone, with dining experiences spanning charcoal and caviar, Nordic prints and Neapolitan comfort. Friday centres on smoke and precision yakitori as a Japanese grill master lands in Wan Chai; Saturday slows the pace with a design-led afternoon tea dressed in Marimekko\u2019s joyful florals<\/span> in Admiralty; and Sunday closes with a long, Mediterranean-style brunch on Ship Street, complete with antipasti, pasta and free-flow pours \u2013 three distinct ways to ease into the new year<\/span> at the table.<\/div>\n
