The Best Restaurants, Cafes & Bars in Sai Kung, Hong Kong (2026 Guide)

HONG KONG

I was born and raised in Sai Kung, and I've just moved back after years away — I barely recognised the place. There's a wine and cheese bar, a sourdough bakery with a line out the door, a burger joint that rivals anything on Hong Kong Island. But underneath the new gloss, it's still Sai Kung: the pineapple buns still sell out by mid-morning, the seafood still comes straight off the boats. Here's my honest guide to what's worth your time — the old guard I grew up on, and the newcomers that have earned their spot.

A Local's Guide On Where to Eat, Drink & Get Coffee in Sai Kung, Hong Kong.

Eat Here

Offbeat

In its soft launch, this cafe is tucked into a converted long-shop unit of an old residential building in Sai Kung Old Town. The seaweed pasta, tossed with Korean seaweed sauce and egg yolk, and the prawn broth pasta, loaded with big prawns, are worth a try.

Cuít

Run by two sisters who grew up in Sai Kung, Cuít turns out some of the best sourdough in Hong Kong — slow-fermented, small-batch loaves in flavours like caramelised onion and apricot walnut. Their sandwiches, especially the market-fish karaage sando, are worth the wait, and the almond croissants disappear fast. It's tiny, it's often full, and there's a real neighbourhood warmth to the place that's hard to fake. Go early, or go prepared to hover for a table.

Big Pink Burgers

I'll say it plainly: this might be the best burger I've had in Hong Kong, full stop. Hand-ground beef, proper smash technique, a soft bun that doesn't fall apart halfway through, and craft beer on tap to wash it down. The waterfront location makes eating a burger with a view feel like the most natural thing in the world, and on a warm evening there's nowhere better to sit outside with friends and a stack of napkins.

One Thirty One

Tucked into a converted three-storey village house overlooking Three Fathoms Cove, this is New Territories fine dining at its most romantic — and it's been going since 2000. Contemporary European cuisine, a fixed tasting menu that changes with the seasons, and a setting so far removed from anything else in Sai Kung that the trek out of town starts to feel like part of the experience. Book ahead; this is a destination in itself.

Little Cove Espresso

The original brunch spot in Sai Kung, and still one of the best — smoothie bowls, halloumi plates, and a genuinely great flat white in a bright, minimal space just off the seafront. It's popular with the coffee-and-catch-up crowd on weekends, and the outdoor seating fills up fast once the weather turns nice. A dependable choice whether you're after something healthy or just a quiet spot to sit with a coffee.

Bakso

Indonesian comfort food with a Bali-surf-shack sensibility, now settled into its home at the WM Hotel — the beef bone soup and homemade meatball noodles are the standouts, both made fresh and packing real heat. It's genuinely one of the healthier, lighter options in town when you want something different from the usual café fare, and the al fresco lounge with waterfront views doesn't hurt either.

Chuen Kee Seafood

The neon fish sign has been a Sai Kung landmark since 1989, and this is still the spot for morning dim sum with a harbour view. Come early for siu mai, har gau, and char siu bao while the boats are pulling in behind you, or come back at night and order straight from the tanks — mantis shrimp and steamed garoupa are the ones locals actually order. It's loud, it's busy, and it's exactly what a Sai Kung seafood dinner should feel like.

Location: 53 Hoi Pong Street, Sai Kung

Paisano's

A genuine Sai Kung institution — this New York-style pizzeria has been slinging huge slices to the promenade crowd for decades, and the recipe hasn't changed because it never needed to. Grab a slice loaded with olives, pepperoni, and herbs and eat it walking down to the water, or settle into the indoor seating for a full pizza. Not fancy, not trying to be, just reliably good pizza whenever you need it.

The Conservatory

Mediterranean small plates, a relaxed square-side terrace, and a weekend brunch that draws a genuinely loyal crowd — this has been an Enoteca Group mainstay in Sai Kung for years. Come for tapas and mezze in the evening, when the buy-one-get-one deal turns dinner into a proper spread, but don't sleep on breakfast either.

Dough Bros

Hand-rolled sourdough pizza and filled doughnuts, made fresh to order, with a rotating list of toppings that keeps things interesting even if you're a regular. It's the kind of place you end up at almost every weekend without really planning to — grab a slice for the walk, or a box of doughnuts on the way home, and you'll understand the loyal following pretty quickly.

Sai Kung Cafe & Bakery

This cafe is renowned for its pineapple buns for good reason. Cash only, plastic chairs, and absolutely no compromise on quality.

Get Dessert Here

Law of Yoghurt

Frozen Greek yoghurt, done properly — dense, tangy, and nowhere near as sweet as the usual froyo shop. Pick your cup or cone, then go wild with the toppings wall: over 20 options including honeycomb, lemon cheesecake, fresh mango, and yuzu sauce.

Honeymoon Dessert

This is where it all started — the very first Honeymoon Dessert branch opened here in 1995, decades before it became a citywide chain with hundreds of outlets across Asia. Mango pomelo sago and the durian pancake are the ones to get, and there's something satisfying about eating them at the original address rather than one of the others. A proper Sai Kung classic in every sense.

Grab Coffee Here

Warm Bread

Tucked down a quiet alley away from the main strip, this is the spot for the shakshuka and top-notch coffee, and worth the detour alone.

Arm Coffee

Industrial-cosy and always full by mid-morning, Arm Coffee has grown from a coffee counter into one of the more social hangout spots. Good espresso, good brunch plates — the scallop black truffle pasta is a standout — and better people-watching from the window seats, which is really the whole point of a Sai Kung café.

Location: G/F, 17 See Cheung Street, Sai Kung | Instagram: @armcoffee.hk

Deer Coffee

Clean, white, and understated, with a genuinely excellent black truffle mushroom cream pasta alongside its coffee menu, plus honey chicken chop salads and rose lattes that have built a quiet but steady following. It's a solid all-rounder for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon coffee break, and the house-blend beans lean nutty rather than bitter, which suits the laid-back mood of the place.

Location: G/F, 25 See Cheung Street, Sai Kung | Instagram: @deercoffee.hk

Get Drinks Here

Winstons Coffee

Sai Kung's neighbourhood coffee-shop-turned-cocktail-bar, with killer coffee by day and proper drinks by night once the lights come down and the music comes up. Order a pizza from Novas Pizzeria (G/F, 38 See Cheung Street, Sai Kung, +852 6606 1816, @novas.pizzeria) just up the road — the two collab, and pairing a wood-fired pie with an espresso martini here is easily one of the best-value evenings in town.

Cheese From Far

A Dutch-run cheese shop with more than 100 European cheeses sourced weekly from across the continent, plus cold cuts, condiments, and a cheese-and-wine pairing workshop that's become a proper local event. Come for the tasting — the truffle goat cheese is the one people talk about — and you'll almost certainly leave with a bag full of gouda you didn't plan on buying.

The Picture House

The proper local pub — beers on draught, a full family-friendly menu, a beer garden patio, and quiz nights that pull in a genuine, competitive crowd. It's part of the same Enoteca Group as The Conservatory just around the corner, but it wears its personality differently: a bit rowdier, a bit more communal. This is where Sai Kung goes to socialise.
