The Murray’s iconic rooftop destination Popinjays brings an Italian coastal escape — and one of the world’s great champagnes — to the heart of Central.
When a city like Hong Kong decides to do luxury, it rarely does it by halves. Case in point: Popinjays, the rooftop restaurant and bar perched 26 floors above Central at The Murray, Hong Kong, a Niccolo Hotel, has just unveiled what may be the city’s most refined summer evening ritual — a Dom Pérignon Champagne Bar paired with an exquisite Caviar & Crudo Indulgence, running every Thursday to Sunday from 27 June through 27 September 2026.
An Italian Coast Above the Skyline
The concept is as seductive as the setting: the breezy flavours of the Italian coastline, translated into a menu of jet-fresh seafood, premium caviar, and elegant crudo, all set against the glittering panorama of Hong Kong’s famous skyline. It is the sort of evening that feels engineered for a particular kind of pleasure — unhurried, sophisticated, and deeply indulgent.
The crudo selection is a masterclass in restraint and quality. The Gambero Rosso pairs two succulent Sicilian red prawns with Amur Caviar, lemon, and nasturtium, a dish that tastes like a Sicilian summer afternoon. The Capasanta presents Hokkaido scallop carpaccio lifted with Amur Caviar, spicy tomato, and crispy shallot, while the Tonno delivers bluefin tuna tartare with fregola and extra virgin olive oil. Oyster lovers will appreciate the Ostrica — two fresh N2 oysters adorned with Amur Caviar, grapefruit, and salicornia — and the silken Ricciola showcases delicate amberjack with jalapeño for a subtle, lingering heat.
The Caviar Selection
The caviar offering is equally considered. Guests choose between two exceptional varieties: the N3 Amur (from HK$598 for 30g) and the more opulent N7 Kaluga (from HK$798 for 30g), both served with classic accompaniments — blinis, sour cream, and bread chips. At 100 grams, the Kaluga reaches HK$1,388, making it a worthy centrepiece for a celebratory evening (or a chance to flex that expense account).
Drinking in Dom Pérignon
No caviar experience is complete without exceptional champagne, and Popinjays has secured an impressive Dom Pérignon line-up. The Vintage 2017 is available by the glass at HK$338 — an accessible entry point to one of the world’s most celebrated cuvées — while the Luminous Vintage 2013 (HK$4,098) and the stunning Rosé Vintage 2009 (HK$4,388) reward those looking to make an evening of it.
Signature cocktails offer a creative twist: the Imperial Jasmine blends Dom Pérignon 2017 with strawberry and cold brew jasmine tea, and the Pérignon Star adds passionfruit and tonka bean to the equation in a nod to Hong Kong’s flair for East-meets-West sophistication.
