A BRIEF HISTORY

With the opening of Gaddi�s on 18th December 1953, Hong Kong residents no longer had to travel to France to experience the finest French cuisine. Named after The Peninsula�s General Manager, Leo Gaddi, at the helm of the hotel from 1948 to 1960, the restaurant�s reputation for exquisite dining developed straight away, although its inaugural menus offered Russian, Chinese and Continental dishes rather than the purely French fare that is its signature today.

By the 1960s Gaddi�s had metamorphosed into an elegant supper club, comprising a three-tiered room with a dance floor on the lowest level. In 1978, the restaurant relocated from the Lobby level to its current location, the former ball room on the first floor. In 1994 Gaddi�s re-opened after an eight-month hiatus, elegantly draped in subtle shades of beige, cream and gold, all of which have remained until today.

With its dance floor and band, Gaddi�s is one of the very few venues in Hong Kong to dine and dance. Each evening, the band and singer perform soulful jazz during dinner, giving the restaurant a supper club ambience.

Please note the dress code for Gaddi�s is jackets for gentlemen, with ladies dressed similarly (no jeans, flip-flops, beach sandals, plastic footwear or athletic wear. Additionally for gentlemen, full length trousers only and no sleeveless shirts). We respectfully advise that children under 12 are not permitted in Gaddi�s.
