Top 3 Must-Try Restaurants in Hong Kong

My husband and I are avid foodies—we love discovering new places to eat and try exotic dishes. The best food discoveries usually happen when you least expect it and you’ll never really know what’s in store for you unless you try. When we recently went to Hong Kong, finding great restaurants was definitely a priority.

Here are some of the restaurants you must try to visit when you are in Hong Kong:

1. Hutong

Hutong is located on the 28th floor of a modern high-rise in Kowloon. Its down-to-earth and dramatic ambiance provides a romantic setting to guests and wine connoisseurs alike. Notable are grand windows that stretch from the floor to the ceiling, adding to this joint’s elegant charm. The menu is Chinese with a modern twist, and main dishes cost around $HK128 – HK$ 288 or around $17 – $37 US. Hutong’s exotic dishes make this fine-dining restaurant extremely popular to locals and tourists that reservations are absolutely required before going there.

2. Chung’s Cuisine

We chose to eat in this restaurant because they have a “no MSG and no artificial coloring” policy. Somehow, we found it very appealing so we had our hotel concierge reserve a table for us. Good thing we did that because the place was packed for the evening! Apparently, Chung’s Cuisine is very famous for the Cantonese cuisine that it serves, and we were relieved to see a bilingual menu. Their dimsum is one of the best I’ve tried (and I’ve been to the best dimsum places in Asia). Prices are quite reasonable (HK$48 for a roast baby pigeon), but there are some pricey dishes as well (an expensive abalone dish costs HK$ 1080 a piece).

3. Lock Cha Tea Shop

The Lock Cha Tea Shop prides itself in being the only restaurant that serves vegetarian dimsum, and this made us curious. We found the place to be a little more expensive than other dimsum places, and lunch for two would cost approximately HK$ 350. The food itself is heavenly, and each order is intricately presented. And, of course, as the name suggests, they serve tea and it’s where you can experience the tradition tea ceremony. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
