Hummingbird restaurant, lounge, and roof terrace officially launched on April 29, 2015.  This new dining concept aimed at customers looking for a high-quality wining and dining experience.

Located in the vibrant western side of downtown Yangon on Phone Gyi Street, Hummingbird is unique in its offering as an international, high-end restaurant in the area. Set in a beautifully restored historic building, Hummingbird covers three floors.

On the ground floor, guests can enjoy Latin American food with a modern twist. All the menus have been created by the award-winning chef, Wayne Third, who has cooked for stars such as The Rolling Stones, Sir Elton John, and Bruce Springsteen.

The first floor has been transformed into a luxurious speakeasy-style cocktail bar, complete with leather Chesterfield sofas and reclaimed teak décor. The rooftop terrace, where guests can relax in the evening sun with a good friends and a cocktail in hand. A selection of lighter, sharing dishes is also available for ordering on the first floor and rooftop terrace.

Hummingbird prides itself on using locally sourced ingredients as much as possible. The menu is seasonal and will change according to the best ingredients available, with a particular focus on ‘specials’ which will be created from freshly sourced meat and fish of the day. The team is community focused, and makes extra efforts to collaborate with local farmers and fishermen. All the fish served will be line-caught locally, and wild organic venison and meat will be used when available.

Anna Sway-Tin, Director and Co-owner of the restaurant says: “We are delighted to welcome the public to Hummingbird after a much anticipated build up. There is a gap in the market for this type of dining experience and we are proud to be giving something back to the local community by using locally sourced ingredients. We hope people enjoy the buzzing yet laid-back atmosphere as much as we do and that in time, people will start to view Hummingbird as a home away from home.”

Hummingbird is not only a restaurant, lounge, and a roof terrace but also a management company that offers outside catering services for a range of events and functions from weddings to office parties.  Hummingbird is owned by Gallon Concepts, a Myanmar-based international management consultancy which focuses on concept creation for the F&B industry including dining, catering and cooking classes.
