About Us
At Leading Nation, we’re redefining modern hospitality through visionary concepts and exceptional guest experiences. Headquartered in Hong Kong, we curate and operate a growing portfolio of award-winning restaurants, bars, and private clubs across Asia — each with its own distinct identity yet united by a shared commitment to excellence and innovation.
Our celebrated portfolio includes The Diplomat, honored among Asia’s 50 Best Bars; Two-Michelin Star, Cristal Room by Anne-Sophie Pic, helmed by the world’s most decorated chef with an extraordinary 10 Michelin Stars; The Merchants, recognised by Tatler Dining for its refined modern Asian cuisine also Michelin mentioned; Sushi Mamoru, an intimate omakase experience led by masterful Japanese craftsmanship; the acclaimed Torikaze deemed as the hardest seats to secure in Japan; and WAGYUMAFIA, a cult-favorite global sensation that has turned Wagyu into a modern icon. Our multi-location brands — Morty’s, Mashi no Mashi (Wagyu Ramen), and Elephant Grounds (Lifestyle Specialty Coffee) — continue to champion craftsmanship, community, and creativity across the region.
Anchoring our portfolio is Forty-Five at Landmark, a three-story, 20,000-square-foot destination redefining the intersection of art, design, and gastronomy in the heart of Hong Kong. With regional expansions such as the soon-to-launch Elephant Grounds Singapore, Leading Nation continues to set new benchmarks for world-class hospitality across Asia.
