EAT CENTRAL by BLACK SHEEP

Black Sheep unveils an expanded and much‑anticipated edition of Eat Central. This edition gathers five of Black Sheep’s most beloved restaurants under one roof, including Cantonese signatures from Ho Lee Fook, a heart‑warming Greek taverna menu from Artemis & Apollo, French favourites from Jean‑Pierre, Neo‑Neapolitan fare and speciality drinks from FALCONE, and sweet scoops from Messina, Hong Kong’s favourite gelato.

SOHO HOUSE

Soho House Hong Kong returns to Art Central with its pop‑up bar, set against a mural by Hong Kong‑based French artists Faustine Badrichani and Elsa Jeandedieu. The bar will serve a focused cocktail menu featuring classics such as the Picante and the newly launched Highball Fifty, created to celebrate the opening of Soho House Tokyo, alongside a selection of House favourites perfect for easy afternoons and post‑fair unwinding.

KRONENBOURG 1664

Kronenbourg 1664 joins Art Central 2026 with ‘The Blue Perspective’, an immersive lounge that transforms the experience of enjoying a premium French beer into a curated sensory moment. With a bar concept shaped by 1664 Blanc and the liminal glow of the blue hour—the luminous threshold between day and night—the space invites visitors to slow their pace, settle into conversation, and savour 1664’s crisp, citrus‑bright profile.

ILLYCAFFÉ

illycaffè introduces the latest illy Art Collection by John Armleder. Armleder, renowned for his explorations of perception and the interplay between artworks and their surroundings, brings his creative sensibility to ‘Tastes’, a series of cups and saucers that mirror the reflective, shimmering effects of his celebrated light fixtures. Motifs from the collection will also adorn the illycaffè spaces at the Fair, where an atmosphere of art converges with the excellence of illy’s signature blend, offering visitors a moment of pause and pleasure.

SEAMLESS TRANSIT WITH UBER TAXI
