The Sheung Wan room where the city's chefs drink Burgundy, with the freshest low-intervention buying axis in HK.
· Wine list Upper Modern Bistro on Bridges Street is the Sheung Wan room that the city's chef community treats as a clubhouse — chef-owner Philippe Orrico runs the kitchen, but the wine programme is what brings the trade in on its day off. The list leans into natural French and Italian producers with a deliberate bias toward Burgundy growers working at the edge of low-intervention practice (Anne Gros, Sylvain Pataille, Alice and Olivier de Moor).
The by-the-glass rotation hovers around eighteen references with weekly turn. Ranks eighth because the cellar depth is narrower than the rooms above but the buying perspective is the freshest Burgundy-natural axis in the city.
