The Glorious Return of JUNON Restaurant Mixing Local Heritage and French Glamour

Paying homage to Hong Kong’s first ever revolving restaurant launched a half century ago, JUNON has made her triumphant return to the Territory at a new home in to rekindle the glamour of a local bygone golden era.

Established 50 years ago on the top floor of Wu Sang House, the tallest commercial building in Mong Kok at the time, the original JUNON Restaurant marked its maiden grand opening in 1967, with a top movie star at the launch ceremony, making the event the talk of the town throughout the Territory.

Today in 2018, the new JUNON Restaurant is now set up in Wu Chung House, which has close historic links with Wu Sang House. Locating side by side with another revolving restaurant situated at the penthouse of the Hopewell Centre, JUNON heralds the renaissance of her proud heritage once again.

Wan Chai is a world-renowned Hong Kong district famed for its portrayal in the classic blockbuster movie - “The World of Suzie Wong.” From its business and commercial hub north of Gloucester Road and famous nightlife entertainment spots along to Queen’s Road East, which was in fact the original edge of Victoria Harbour, Wan Chai evokes a very particular Hong Kong style and is the quintessential ‘East-meets-West’ destination. Located on Queen’s Road East, JUNON wonderfully highlights this cross- cultural interplay.

Revel in the Spotlight at LA SCÈNE DE JUNON

Entering the revolving doors at JUNON, guests are transported back to a 20th century era of exotic European grandeur brimming with all the accoutrements of the good old days. Listen to the lilting melodies of a bygone age with the compelling images of old Hong Kong under a giant glass ceiling that ushers in the arrival of the Roman Goddess Juno, queen of the gods from heaven above. The glittering chandelier, burgundy-coloured velvet sofas and armchairs, as well as pale yellow table lamplight all convey tasteful elegance and French-style opulence. The musicians from around the world invite guests to dance and leave pleasant memories through the live performance.

Relax Amidst BISTRO JUNON’s European Ambience

Nestled on the opposite side of the JUNON Restaurant is a Parisian-style bistro for guests to socialise with friends in a more casual atmosphere over glasses of wine and delicious, heart-warming dishes.

Enjoy a drink at the Bar in the centre of the restaurant, and amidst this magnificent and graceful setting, savour a superb array of homemade croissants, pastries or cakes accompanied by an assortment of rich coffees at Pâtisserie. What’s more, appreciate the timeless traditions of European culture at La Boutique, a unique antique shop that showcases a wide array of classic watches, jewelry, ink pens, silverware and much more.

The menus at LA SCÈNE DE JUNON and BISTRO JUNON will be changed regularly to offer the true unique and fresh dining experiences.
