T'ang Court

Cantonese · ★★★ Michelin

$$$

Comfort and luxury partly explain the popularity of this firm favourite with foodies, thanks to plush fabrics, beautifully dressed tables and Chinese art, but the skill and experience of the kitchen team also play a role. Their soups made with top-notch ingredients win the hearts of countless connoisseurs. Double-boiled Silkie chicken soup with dried scallop and abalone stands out with deep, complex umami. Other specialities include Peking duck and baked stuffed crab shell.

Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine (Tsim Sha Tsui)

Cantonese · ★ Michelin

This branch of the Singapore-based brand is housed at an iconic skyscraper overlooking the harbour. The stylish dining room is embellished with subtle Chinese motifs, such as ceramic Koi carps and calligraphy. Live seafood is a must – try steamed lobster in chicken fat and Huadiao wine on a bed of silky egg white custard. The winey aromas are mesmerising. Hand-crafted dim sum is another unmissable highlight at lunch.

Épure

French Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$

Have a drink on the patio before sampling a line-up that is French in essence but enhanced by subtle Asian touches. The Singaporean chef honed his skills in top establishments around Europe and Asia. He ingeniously matches flavours and textures in precisely executed dishes that are not overly fancy. The two tasting menus are paired with carefully curated wines. The next-door cafe is a great spot for afternoon tea.

Gaddi's

French · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Once the famed hotel's grand ballroom, Gaddi's is known for its authentic, lavish decor, warm, meticulous service and impeccably crafted dishes. With chef Anne-Sophie Nicolas at the helm – its first female chef since it opened in 1953 – the legendary institution is ushering in a new era. Expect legacy recipes jazzed up with creative twists. The pan-seared Norwegian langoustine, cooked to perfection and boasting intense umami, is the must-try.

Spring Moon

Cantonese · ★ Michelin

$$$

The space evokes old Shanghai circa 1920 – stained-glass windows, teak floors and rugs all nod to the golden era. On the menu, meanwhile, classics rub shoulders with novel creations. Green lobster two ways juxtaposes smoky caramelisation from wok-frying with wine aromas and the clean taste of the steamed crustacean on egg white custard. Their smoked barbecue pork is another must-try (you need to pre-order). Try their tea-infused cocktails, too!

Yè Shanghai (Tsim Sha Tsui)

Shanghainese · ★ Michelin

It may have moved to a swanky mall in 2020, but this household name in Shanghainese food has been on the radar of gastronomes for over two decades. The room is spread across two floors with a modern take on 1930s Shanghai charm. Apart from drunken chicken, and stir-fried river shrimps, try also their cold appetiser sliced pork dressed in garlic sauce – the paper-thin pork is springy in texture, and its richness is balanced by garlic and soy.
