Roucou Is a Cheese Omakase and Bar Offering 12-Course Meals in Hong Kong
Roucou is a cheese omakase and bar that recently opened on Aberdeen Street opposite PMQ, and is the creation of Jeremy Evrard, former manager of Caprice and Upper Modern Bistro.
I went recently with five friends and we indulged in the restaurant's 12-course cheese voyage. This took the form of a Japanese-French omakase at HK$1,280 per head. There's also the option of a HK$500 wine pairing, with bottles from up-and-coming vineyards. If you opt to order a la carte at the bar, friends who have done so suggest getting more than you might think, and also being adventurous in your cheese selections.

Cathay Pacific's Luxe New Business Class Suite Is Now Available on This North America-to-Asia Route
If you're planning a trip to Hong Kong, get ready: the flight is about to be more comfortable and luxurious than ever before. Cathay Pacific is introducing its new Aria Suite business class, which will be available on selected flights between Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) daily starting June 15. This is the third long-haul route for the Aria Suite, which was originally introduced in Hong Kong in October 2024. From now until Oct. 25, Cathay will run 17 non-stop flights between Vancouver and Hong Kong three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The Aria Suite reimagines the business class cabin to be both stylish and comfortable, with close attention to craftsmanship and design details. It features a more spacious cabin and redesigned wrap-around seats that allow for more privacy, as well as a suite door and sliding partition. Lie-flat beds are outfitted with Rohi's ethically sourced wool for breathable comfort throughout the flight. The Aria Suite also offers wireless phone charging, intuitively designed storage spaces, and artwork that has a connection to Hong Kong. The Aria Suite will be progressively rolled out throughout the year on Cathay's fleet of retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. 'We are proud to continue our commitment to offering an unparalleled level of comfort and convenience by bringing our highly anticipated Aria Suite to our North American customers,' Chris Vanden Hooven, Cathay Pacific Senior Vice President (Americas), said in a statement shared with Travel + Leisure . 'Just over 40 years ago, Vancouver was our first long-haul passenger route between North America and Hong Kong. We are thrilled to introduce the Aria Suite to the Americas via Vancouver, further demonstrating the importance of the region to Cathay Pacific.' Last month, Cathay expanded its routes to include a new non-stop flight between Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Hong Kong, making it the longest flight in the Cathay network. 'With the recent launch of Cathay Pacific's new route between Dallas Fort Worth and Hong Kong, the first to connect the airline with the southern region of the United States, we're further strengthening our commitment to connecting North America with Hong Kong,' Vanden Hooven said in the statement. 'Our customers will have even more options, with over 110 return passenger flights per week between North America and Hong Kong this summer, ensuring seamless travel and enhanced connectivity for all.'

Onggi adds a regal touch to the Korean scene in D.C.
Of all the dining rooms to open in Washington in recent months, the one that best exemplifies the origin of the word 'restaurant,' which comes from the French term for 'restore,' is Onggi in Dupont Circle. With its stone-colored walls, recessed lighting and spare, black and white art, the Korean newcomer could almost pass for a spa. Onggi is the only restaurant I know where you can sit on, as well as consume, Himalayan sea salt. Behold the benches, illuminated pink bricks that are sometimes gently heated, tempting some of us to stretch out and catch a few winks before reading the menu.
