Jean Paul’s influence in the restaurant business in Hong Kong over the years has been unparalleled. The Father of Hong Kong’s now famous SoHo eating district has been there, done that and is now focusing on his major project, Cococabana.
Over the last decade he has opened and made a success of a number of restaurants in Hong Kong beginning with his first opening in 1994 of Casa Lisboa, a Portuguese enclave amidst Hong Kong’s high rises. A relaxed and intimate restaurant, a picture of a family eatery in Macau. On the back of the success of Casa Lisboa, Jean Paul next turned his attentions to Club Casa Nova in 1995. A chic Italian night club and restaurant in the same SoHo area where he was to make his name synonymous with fine dining in Hong Kong
In the winter of 1996, Jean Paul turned his acute knowledge of French dining and twisted it to fit into traditional Vietnamese cooking by opening Cafe Au Lac. Using simple and fresh ingredients Jean Paul turned a cuisine that was not so well known in the area into a popular and bustling restaurant. Decorated with traditional paintings from Hanoi, it would be easy to forget that you were dining in the heart of one of the busiest cities in the world.
