Peridot: A Luminous Cocktail Sanctuary Above Hong Kong

High above Hong Kong’s skyline, on the 38th floor of The Henderson, Peridot emerges as one of the city’s most visually arresting new bars. Named after the green gemstone, the space blends terroir-driven cocktails, avant-garde vegetarian cuisine, and live musical performances into a sensory experience that feels cinematic yet intimately personal. Designed by Toronto- and Milan-based Studio Paolo Ferrari, Peridot stands confidently alongside the late Zaha Hadid’s futuristic architecture, echoing its fluid forms without imitation.

A soft green palette envelops the room, where mohair seating disappears into sculpted alcoves and 20,000 frosted acrylic lights shimmer like refracted gemstones. The swirling green marble bar acts as the venue’s gravitational centre, grounding the ethereal architecture with a touch of material drama.

Peridot’s culinary vision is equally daring. Chef Lisandro Illa pushes plant-based dining into haute cuisine with nut-based cheeses, fruit ‘charcuterie’, and fermented delicacies shaped by koji and natto. Drinks, curated by beverage director François Cavelier, celebrate terroir, with the current menu exploring Kagoshima through cocktails that reinterpret the region’s coastal traditions and craftsmanship.

Peridot is more than a bar—it is an atmospheric journey where light, flavour, and sound converge, setting a new benchmark for Hong Kong’s nightlife.
