Blue Sky Victoria Park

This offshoot of its London namesake by British chef Simon Rogan moved here in 2025. As opposed to the tasting menus offered in the former venue, a new sharing-style set menu allows guests to dine flexibly and creatively. As always, the modern British score celebrates local sustainable produce and champions a farm-to-table zero-waste concept. Four types of libation pairings cater to both wine buffs and teetotallers.

No discussion about Hong Kong’s historic noodle shops would be complete without mentioning Ho Hung Kee, which originally opened in Wan Chai in the 1940s and is famed for its springy wonton noodles and fresh, sweet soup. More elements have been added here at its new address – dim sum and some Cantonese dishes are now served too. For the interior, they’ve adopted a more contemporary, Western style aesthetic.

The founder and head chef Mok moved his restaurant to this location in 2021. As always, top notch ingredients like sea urchin, abalone and blue lobsters are flown in daily from Japan and France. But the theatrical cooking now happens in a much bigger room, along with a private room that seats eight. The wine list also sees a lot more choices. Amadai with sea urchin cream sauce stands out in particular, with its crispy scales and juicy flesh.

Chef Hung has worked in many 5-star hotels and values food quality and shrewd techniques more than anything else. Seasonal ingredients from around the world are painstakingly prepared the traditional way and then plated with modern refinement. Wok-fried crab claw with dried shrimps, spring onion and layered bean curd sheet is exquisitely presented and loaded with umami. The wine and tea sommeliers, as well as the professional service team, make for a pleasant experience.

Run by a group of Hongkongers of Zhejiang descent, this traditionally furnished restaurant boasts universal appeal. On the menu, Zhejiang delicacies rub shoulders with Shanghainese specialities. Make sure you pre-order ‘snatched tiger tails’ – seared swamp eel in a brown sauce that reveal exquisite knife work and a springy texture. Also check out the seasonal dishes and excellent buns and pastries. Friendly, unobtrusive service.

A household name in the neighbourhood since 2001, this restaurant wins many hearts with its traditional, often painstakingly made Cantonese cooking. This family business, now into the second generation, still impresses with its consistently well-made dishes. The signature baked fish tripe omelette in an earthenware casserole features Cantonese pork sausage that adds richness and wine aromas. Try the snake soup, and stir-fried sticky rice, too.
