Hong Kong - Eating
In Hong Kong you can eat food from all around the world: Thai, Indian, British, Italian and not least, Chinese. You can eat well for a little or a lot – it is often the decor that determines the price tag.
Jumbo Floating Restaurant
Jumbo Floating Restaurant may look like a glorious mixture of Forbidden City and Las Vegas, but it is the right choice if you want to try out the floating restaurants of Aberdeen Harbour. The menu comprises a mixture of traditional Chinese food – with dim sum every Sunday morning.
Café Deco
Enjoy Hong Kong’s best view while you eat dinner at Café Deco. Here, high up on Victoria Peak, you can eat fish, seafood and grilled dishes. From Thursday to Saturday there is a live jazz band.
Spring Deer
This is a good choice for those who want to sample rustic, northern Chinese cuisine. Spring Deer has the best Peking duck in Hong Kong. The only problem is that it is so popular that you have to book in advance.
Petrus
Petrus is without a doubt Hong Kong’s best French restaurant and, although it is in The Island Shangri-La hotel complex, it offers traditional French cuisine and a magnificent view of the harbour.
Che’s Cantonese Restaurant
This restaurant serves exquisite Cantonese home cooking. Ask for the special menu of the season which has a dozen special dishes depending on the time of year.
Felix
Hong Kong’s cosiest restaurant was given a lift when it was refurbished by the designer Philippe Starck. At this fantastic, Art Deco-inspired restaurant you can eat anything from barbecued spareribs to lobster nachos.
Yi Jiang Nan
At this pleasant Chinese restaurant, delicious Shanghai and northern Chinese cuisine is served on good-sized, black wooden tables. The trendy atmosphere is mellowed by attentive waiters and cosy lighting from lamps made of old bird cages.
Yung Kee
No trip to Hong Kong is complete without a visit to the traditional Cantonese restaurant Yung Kee. Here you should try young roast goose and barbecued pork when you eat dim sum.
One-thirtyone
This beautiful restaurant is located in a 3-storey village house nestled on the bay of Three Fathoms Cove outside Hong Kong. It has no fixed menu as the chef will decide according to what ingredients he can get. They offer a 4-course lunch and a 6-course dinner. There are not a lot of tables, so make sure to book well in advance.
Long Men Lou
This is a vegetarian restaurant located within the Chi Lin Nunnery. It is open for the public and is situated behind a man-made waterfall within the garden connected to the nunnery. The restaurant offers great Chinese vegetarian meals. It is often very busy over the weekend, but no reservations are accepted - it is better to be there early. The nunnery itself is also a fantastic place to visit as it was built using the same technique and style of the Tang Dynasty.
The Press Room
The restaurants philosophy is to serve simple food made from the finest ingredients, served in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Even though the décor is quite simple, it has a very pleasant, bustling environment at night and the food is great and reasonably priced.
