Hong Kong has one of the best dining selections that can be found in the world today. There are more than 10,000 restaurants in Hong Kong alone. You can never get bored with trying cuisine from all over the world, including French soups, dim sum, some of the best seafood in the Orient, Spanish tapas, Thai food, Steak, Kobi Beef, traditional Chinese food, or, if you can choose, a buffet with a selection from all around the world. It’s one of the finer things in life to look out over the Victoria Bay while eating the best that the culinary arts have to offer.

Here we recommend a small selection of restaurants to choose from.

Azure – Located in the Lan Kwai Fong Hotel, Azure doubles as a bar with a chic yet relaxed feel to it. You can take in the panoramic views of Hong Kong sipping cocktails until midnight. The cuisine is continental featuring rack of lamb, smoked salmon, scallops, and molten chocolate cake. DJs and musicians frequently are booked for the restaurant and you can listen to some good music while eating. Prices average about $35 a head.

Caprice – Caprice is a French restaurant located in the Four Seasons Hotel in the Central District of Hong Kong. It has received three Michelin stars. It is considered, rightly so, one of the nicest and tastiest places to eat. It is on the pricier side with the average meal for two costing around US$150, before fine wines. The chefs wear their white hats and stand under the golden grill and airy golden and crystal atmosphere. They offer a selection of fine French and International wines, and the most exquisite dishes such as beef Wellington, Tourteau Crab Tiramisu, Duck Foie Gras Poele, and Poached Pears.

You will need to make a reservation some days in advance. Phone numbers: 852/3196 8888

Lin Heung Tea House – Here you can find some of the best Dim Sum and Cantonese food in Hong Kong that dates back far into the times of British Colonialism. It is an enjoyable, informal experience where you can mix with other guests, since often tables are shared. It helps to ask to look at the different dishes, of the staff or of your fellow table mates, because the menu is in Cantonese. This is a good opportunity to interact with the locals, or other travelers, if you are foreign. I’ve never met a person who has had a bad experience there.

The Lin Heung Tea House is most noted for their dai bao, which is a doughy bun filled with chicken and mushrooms. The earlier you arrive the more likely you are to get your hands on one.

They are located in the Central District at 160-164 Wellington Street. Phone number: 852-2544-4556

Main Street Deli – This is for those who miss home or want to try some New York style food that they cannot get elsewhere. Many Jewish foods such as latkes, matzo ball soup, Reuben sandwiches, pickles, and even pancakes can be found here. The most common food ordered is, of course, a deli sandwich. One nice feature is the doggy bag. Food to go is not very common in Hong Kong, but the owners understand human, or canine, needs. The décor is modern yellow, purple, and black with round tables. If it is an deli, it is definitely an upscale deli. Please note that they do not accept credit cards.

It is in the Langham Hotel in the Kowloon District. Phone number: 852-2375-1133. Restaurant extension: 7883

Lobby Lounge – Situated in the InternContinental Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, the Lobby Lounge is a place for light eating, mostly teas and cakes. It has one of the best views, reason alone to spend an hour or two in their grip, in Hong Kong overlooking the Victoria Bay. There is often live, calming music and light chatter to listen to as you eat your delicate scones, cake squares, or puddings. This is a venue for afternoon lounging, though understandably you might not want to leave. They do not serve breakfast, and though they do serve foods such as spring rolls, it is not meant to be a dinner restaurant, as they do close at 6pm. The cost is $44 for an afternoon for two.

No reservations needed. Phone number: 852/2721-1211

Shang Palace – This is our other choice for Cantonese style food. Shang Palace is located in the Shangri-La Hotel in Kowloon and is an excellent place to go for true Chinese style dining. It features lacquered walls, fresh flowers, fresh white tablecloths, traditional Chinese paintings, and soft natural light coming in through the bay windows with views of trees and garden landscaping. Some of their best dishes include lobster and sautéed lamb.

Phone number: 852-2733-8754

The Viceroy – For fine Indian cuisine with a bit of a Cantonese twist visit The Viceroy located in Sun Hung Kai Center in Wan Chai. You can enjoy the temperate climate of Hong Kong at its outdoor tables overlooking Victoria Harbor and the upscale district of Wan Chai. On overcast or rainy days, the indoor seating is also spectacular due to the large windows offering a similar experience. They have a rotating menu that serves vegetarian food, lentils, vindaloo, lamb, and lobster on a revolving basis. Prices run around US$10 per dish.
