HONG KONG Pasta is both universal and deeply personal — but most can agree that it is one of life's simplest, and most delicious, pleasures. In cities like London, Sydney and Melbourne, pasta culture has evolved beyond tradition, embracing creativity without losing its roots. Hong Kong’s pasta scene is beginning a similar evolution: chefs are challenging orthodoxy, infusing local influences, and celebrating the Italian classic as both comfort and expression. Below are four st

HONG KONG Not only has Amigo endured for close to six decades — an almost unbroken stretch of service in a city where dining trends rise and fall with the seasons — it now finds itself quietly entering a new chapter. Rather than reinventing itself, it refines what it has always been: a place of ritual, memory and old-world polish, now drawing in a new generation of diners as much for its nostalgia as for its unmistakable sense of occasion. Long before the car horns of Wong Na

HONG KONG Space in Hong Kong may be limited, but that hasn’t stopped hosts from putting on everything from relaxed brunches to late-night cocktail gatherings. The difference now lies in the catering: a new wave of companies treating food as part of the atmosphere, not just the menu. Think polished sushi platters, abundant cheese boards and refined canapés designed for easy grazing. Whether it’s a birthday gathering, a junk boat day or a casual dinner with friends, these cater

HONG KONG From sky-high dining rooms to tucked-away neighbourhood favourites, the city has turned brunch into an art form. Here, we round up the tables worth booking. This list was last updated on April 24, 2026. La Petite Maison Hong Kong: "La Vie en Rosé" Brunch At La Petite Maison, the South of France is distilled into a sun-dappled fantasy, where white tablecloths and Riviera ease meet the precision of a well-drilled kitchen.

HONG KONG Carlyle & Co. has opened a second location in Hong Kong as part of its fifth anniversary, extending its membership model across two sites in the city. The original Tsim Sha Tsui club will now be known as Harbour Club. The new location, Town Club, opens in Central within New World Tower. The expansion introduces a dual-site structure under a single membership, giving members access to both locations. Two locations, different functions Harbour Club continues as the Ts

HONG KONG If there’s one ritual the British hold close, it’s the Sunday roast — equal parts ceremony and comfort, best served with crisp potatoes and a long afternoon ahead. At Bourke's, however, this familiar institution is gently nudged off course, reinterpreted through an unmistakably Australian lens — looser, sunnier, and just a touch more playful. Served weekly from midday, the Bourke’s roast doesn’t attempt to rewrite the rules entirely. Instead, it sharpens them. The t

HONG KONG Tucked along Soho’s ever-animated Peel Street, Bourke's has never been shy about its antipodean identity. But with the launch of its new menu this March, the bar leans in with renewed confidence — dialling up both nostalgia and nuance in what it calls an “Australian Bar Experience”. It’s less a rebrand than a refinement: a clearer, more self-assured expression of what Bourke’s has always hinted at since opening in October 2024. At its core, the update reads like a l

HONG KONG Central’s 1111 ONES Restaurant & Lounge has long been the talk of the town — not just for its jaw-dropping Antelope Canyon-inspired interiors, but also for being Hong Kong’s only contemporary Italian-French fine dining venue to clinch the Gold Award for Best Overall Restaurant at the prestigious Restaurant & Bar Design Awards. Now, until 31 May 2026, Executive Chef Chris Chan is making midday in Central worth the detour with a Spring 5‑Course Set Lunch Menu, HK$448

HONG KONG On the 39th floor of Mondrian Hong Kong, the legendary Tuscan butcher Dario Cecchini has brought his signature philosophy of “nose-to-tail” dining to Asia, and now he’s taking it a step further with Carna’s new Butcher’s Menu. Available Monday to Wednesday by pre-order, it’s an evening that celebrates the animal in its entirety — with no shortcuts, no fuss, and every plate arriving in deliberate succession. The experience begins with a choice of antipasti: delicate

HONG KONG In a city that treats dining like a competitive sport, it takes something special to make Quarry Bay pause mid-scroll and commit to a weeknight reservation. Yet that is precisely what À Poêle Bistro has managed to do. From oysters on Mondays to mussels on Thursdays, with a molten cheese interlude in between, this is less a promotion and more a structured excuse to abandon sad desk salads for the foreseeable future. Mondays: Oysters Galore At HK$388 per person, Monda

HONG KONG Since 1938 — when it first opened on Restaurant Row in Beverly Hills serving a single entrée of roasted prime rib —Lawry’s The Prime Rib has built its reputation on ritual, hospitality and that unmistakable silver carving cart.
