Chef Tina Barrat, well-known in the Hong Kong plant-based community for her artisan vegan cheese wheels, nourishing plant-based lunch delivery service and sold-out private dinners, as well as her storied history as co-founder of the much-loved Maya Cafe Mediterranean Lifestyle, has just soft-opened her brand new restaurant concept MA…and The Seeds of Life. Located in Central’s bustling Soho district in the Urban Renewal Authority redevelopment H18 Conet, the fine-dining restaurant is a showcase of Barrat’s highly creative vegan creations in which natural ingredients take centre stage.
To the delight of her gourmet fanbase following her former Maya Café success, Chef Tina Barrat has opened MA…and The Seeds of Life on Graham Street, home to one of Hong Kong’s most historic street markets and situated in the heart of Soho district in Central. The 1,800-square-foot space will offer visitors creative 100% vegan and cruelty-free takes on gourmet cuisine classics with a distinctly French flair, from “chiaviar with quinoa blinis” made with energy-boosting chia seeds to replace the endangered sturgeon roe, to beetroot carpaccio and faux-gras pâté crafted from porcini mushrooms and cashews.
