CUISINE

Japanese - Brazilian Fussion

Though Uma Nota closed this year after eight vibrant years, we include it here as a nod to the impact it made on Hong Kong’s F&B scene. Brazil meets Japan. São Paulo meets Peel Street. Uma Nota was a love affair between cultures, colours, and rhythm. The restaurant spilled onto the street with colour, blurring the line between public and private. From playful tiled steps and hand-painted murals to the custom bar and rattan-accented furniture, the space was crafted to feel like a spirited escape, warm, wild, alive. Layered, textural, and a little messy, by design.

The Challenge

Making a small, corner spot feel like a whole damn world. Balancing casual street vibes with crafted detail, layering textures, tones, and stories without losing the spirit of spontaneity.

What We Loved

Designing a space that moves, with rhythm, with flavour, with personality. Uma Nota let us go full colour, full character, and full coração.

Secret Detail

The patterned ceiling is a nod to Latin American latticework, boldly reimagined in custom timber.
