Amid the cluster of barbers, malls, and bars lies Playa de Papagayo, one of more complete Spanish /…read moreTapas establishments not just in TST, but perhaps Hong Kong wide. Where as the other stellar spots offer a more intimate experience and tighter spaces, PDP is wide open with their layout. So wide as a matter of fact, that they're one of the few places that can truly be outdoor and indoor at the same time. Plenty of folks come here to booze, chill, and people watch, all of which could be considered pastimes of mine. Start it off with their specialty sangrias (hello rosé sangria), which aren't limited to red and white, but also beer as well. The latter is a bit of a surprise, and the taste is an extra kick (ginger beer?) that makes less beer-y but more cocktail'y. The rest of the drinks are mainly beers, frozen drinks, martinis, and cocktails. There are mocktails available for the non-alcoholic folks and a decent wine selection for people who aren't feeling the sangria. Pro-Tip: Happy Hour goes from 12pm-9pm. That's nine hours of easy drinking bliss. Food wise, I would venture their menu is more international than it is basque. Spanish tapas are certainly available here but they have pastas, pizzas, and sandiwches that are a solid complement to the drinks. Anything with their imported Iberico Ham is a safe be and the paella is extremely filling. The weekends can get pretty crowded and on some days they rock football / soccer matches. Bank on the friendly service (which is never a guarantee in HK) and do yourself a favor and indulge in their weekday happy hour and/or discounted brunch (30% off!).

Delicious sangria by the pitcher - full or half - with over 30 flavours sure to please. Some notables are the lychee, chocolate, and piña colada. I've also really enjoyed their Hot Ginger martini. Great for a cooler evening when the wind is blowing. Speaking of wind, ask for a shawl if you're cool. They're on the 18th floor, and it does get breezy up there, so take advantage of the house-provided scarves to keep the chill at bay. Prices can be a bit high and on evenings to sit outside there is a minimum $180/head drink order. Still, it's not hard to spend that, and I'd say it's worth it.

If you order food at bar, that doesn't count towards your $180 minimum spend. Now, I never thought I was a cheap person but when I'm being told that I can't sit outside in a free low dinner table because I opted for the "bar" table minimum spend, that makes me a little angry. Especially when it was violently windy and almost impossible to sit on the bar tables facing the harbour. I Went here with my friends because we had a friend visiting Hong Kong for a few days and I thought it would be a nice relaxed evening admiring the view and drinking sangria. Yeah we covered the minimum charge but it was thoroughly annoying to be told in an offhand remark, as I ordered a snack of croquettes, that those croquettes would "not be covered in your minimum spend". How am I meant to enjoy my night when I'm being reminded about money? We literally had to calculate whether or not our two jugs of sangria, 7 shots of tequila and own personal drinks covered the minimum spend. Also I noticed they upped the price of their sangria jugs. They used to be max $300 now they're around $480+ and you still only get a meagre 8 short cups. The croquettes were fine, overpriced sticks of gooey crumbed cheese. We hated the vibe so after achieving our minimum charge (LOL) we went for KBBQ just down the road. Not returning anytime soon.

We chose to sit at the bar near the door, and with the door open and the outside temp a lowly 25 degrees tonight it was a super choice.

Located on Staunton Street which has some stiff competition, this place clearly takes the cake on it's uniqueness! Initially it felt like we ducked into a cave, I mean the front façade door is quite eye catching (see pic) and the bar is carved out of this crazy, tiled stone and the chairs are like Mad Hatter Style! Out from behind the bar, comes Carmen, who warmly introduces herself and tells us to sit wherever we like. She is a one (wo)man show and also made our cocktails too! Yes, it is on the pricier side, but worth a few extra bucks to throwback when the cocktails are good and everything just fits with the setting! Definitely not your average bar!

The restaurant is located on the 18th Floor at One Nathan overlooking Victoria Harbor. It is a small yet cozy elegant space, with high ceilings and grand decor. The design was inspired by local award-winning actress, Carina Lau. The food on offer it is a fusion of Spanish and Japanese cuisine, with a menu designed by Pedro Samper, although he's not behind the stoves at the moment. Besides set lunch and a tasting menu, Zurriola's a la carte is extensive, as well as its dessert and wine menus (with 20 pages filled with reds, whites, cavas and champagnes!). Zurriola's well trained service awarded the restaurant the 'best service' during Hong Kong Restaurant Week in 2014 and they offered a set lunch that we decided to try. In fact, the service is great: they seem very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the food. I picked the 'presa' salad as a starter. For me, it was a little disappointing. Having been raised in the land of Iberico, I know how a good presa tastes like and this dish seemed bland to me. So, I was curious as how the main would come. I went for the grilled salmon with asparagus emulsion: it was a very small portion, and it tasted okay. Very well presented and well done dish, but nothing special. However, the dessert, melted chocolate and ice cream, made up for the rest. Set lunch was around 230 HKD per head, which I thought was reasonable. Although I wasn't impressed with the food, I did love the space, the views and the atmosphere.

The dining area is modern and clean, with hints of industrial touches. The windows overlook the buildings on the Lee Gardens side, and I imagine would be quite scenic when all lit up during the evening. Town offered a 3-course set lunch (ranging from $178 - $220): starter, main and dessert. For the starter, it was a choice between Anti-Pasti Buffet and Broccoli, Smoked Salmon and Yoghurt. We all opted for the former. The buffet table offered standard salad items ranging from leafy vegetables, cous cous, cold cuts and so on. Quite refreshing and definitely more controlled than a free-flow all-you-can-eat/order brunch. The bread basket was a warm and most breads used heavier dough, giving them the qualities of comfort food. Simple old goodness! We also ordered a bottle of Panna still water ($68), which is not pictured here. Next up were the mains. Iberico Pork Loin, Corn, Pancetta, Celery Root, Peas, Quince ($220/set) was a safe fail-proof choice; the cut was meaty and with a bit of bite, while the sides matched the sweetness from the pork loin. Our other main was Wagyu Beef Burger, Cheddar Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion Jam, Fries($198/set). Like the Iberico Pork, also a staple dish, but with a twist of red onion jam which complemented the heaviness of the patty quite well. Other than that, it can be described as a no-frills classic American burger. Another main that we ordered was Beef and Pork Bolognaise, Spagettini, Porcini Mushrooms ($188/set). Again like the burger, was a classic entry to the American diet. The twist was the use of Porcini mushrooms instead of the usual button mushrooms, giving the dish a bit more bite and character. The desserts were a choice between Strawberries with Mascarpone Cheese OR Upside-Down Pineapple Cake. The strawberries and mascarpone, I believe are a healthier option to the usual strawberries and cream. Those looking for a healthier fresh fruit option would appreciate this. The Upside-Down Pineapple Cake, in my opinion, tasted exactly like the classic Cantonese bakery favorite Coconut Tart (椰撻)! The pineapple added a layer of acidity to the tart, and elevated it above your local bakery tart. All in all, I appreciate the use of quality ingredients as I do the reinvention of classic dishes. I see a small step in the right direction, and do look forward to a bigger more adventurous leap for the menu. But then again, I have yet to sample the dinner menu, which may offer more interesting flavours and options versus the dependable (and rather unimaginative) lunch menu. Town is still a good choice for a straightforward meal with friends in a casual relaxed environment.
