BLT Steak Hong Kong

Going International: French Chef, American Steakhouse, Asian City

Laurent Tourondel has always been interested in the bounty of different ingredients, the intense flavors of the foods, and the diversity of cultures in Asia. No city represents this mix more than Hong Kong.

On one particular trip there he met Sandeep Sekhri, managing partner and founder of Dining Concepts, an innovator in bringing Western-style restaurants to the island and one of Hong Kong's preeminent hospitality groups. Tourondel and Sekhri quickly recognized the potential synergies between the two companies and decided on a partnership for what became the first Asian outpost of BLT Steak. Located at Ocean

Terminal in the Tsim Sha Tsui area, the heart and soul of Hong Kong at the very tip of the Kowloon Peninsula, BLT is right on the water's edge and boasts unrivaled views of Hong Kong Island. The dining room's floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a sunny terrace, where diners take in the full spectrum of the harbor's activity. At night, there is perhaps no better place to take in just how spectacular the Hong Kong skyline really is.
