Chef Aaron Gillespie is super cool and really knows what he's doing. There is a lot you will be familiar with when it comes to tapas, and also, modern renditions of classics. Had the tuna tartare, octopus, paella, miso chargrilled carrots, Spanish breakfast, and a few more. Really tasty offerings with innovative ingredients, some inspired by local fare -- sago crisps!! Definitely a must-stop if you want some great libations coupled with tasty bites.

Staff wanted to seat us in the open air part, close to the very front of the restaurant. Since it was hot, we asked for, and were accommodated at a table in the middle of the restaurant, under the needed air conditioning!! We started off with two tapas; the Padron Peppers, $87, and the White Anchovies, $74. While the pepper dish was ample in size, it was incredibly boring in taste. However, the large sardines were expertly seasoned and enjoyable. For our main, we shared a non-meat version of the Seafood Paella, $338. This was delicioso y mui excellante! For dessert, we shared a Date Pudding, $70. This too was excellent. See photos. All in all a very comfortable place to dine. Service was adequate, as the staff had an attitude, yet food was impressive, thus the rating of 4 stars.

If you like raw garlic (and to be fair, I do), then Iberico is the place for you. OK, so perhaps…read morenot the best way to draw you in, but bear with me, I am a fan - honest! Part of the Enoteca Group, Iberico is a Spanish and Portuguese tapas restaurant, located just off the esco below Elgin Street. Unlike it's older sister Enoteca, Iberico serves good food well, and has a pleasant and welcoming staff. The menu is primarily tapas, conveniently sectioned into veggie, seafood, and meats. But there are also mains (basically a variety of paellas), and an Iberico ham selection. For me and Mrs L, we always have the same things, and I believe this is testament to their good cooking. After all, why change something that's not broken? For us it's always; the pickled anchovies, a dozen quails eggs with salt and pepper, triple cooked patatas bravas, pan fried chorizo with duck egg, all rounded off with a seafood paella. They use liberal amounts of garlic, raw and cooked, so you better eat as much or as little as your date, otherwise there may be no special face time. The paella is great, lots of seafood, and just the right balance of rice. It always works out to just the right amount of each - no one wants a paella that's all rice and seafood now! The last cherry on top of the paella is the fact that the chef will happily make it without chorizo, since Mrs L doesn't eat things with faces, but also put the chorizo on a side dish for me, so I can mix it in myself. That is the mark of a true gentleman! To give an idea of costs, the seafood paella is HKD338, the veggie paella is HKD246, with the chicken one somewhere in between. Tapas dishes are around HKD100 each. Drinks are good; a decent selection of wine, and an even better selection of sangrias. I had no idea there were so many varieties! The staff there are great, always very welcoming and attentive. Even when it is rammed, they will try and squeeze in a walk in. They could do with updating their seating plans though, as the last time we went, we kept getting another tables food, and waving that much meat in fornt of Mrs L is not a good idea!

You can't go wrong w any of it really. You will be able to sense that the kitchen takes pride in everything that gets delivered to your table. Each dish is highly detail oriented w fresh ingredients and culinary creativity. It's rather dim and the pictures didn't come out too well. The food? Amazing... But the cocktails... Well crafted and have incredible balance. Mixology is at its finest here at Me. Bartenders here are charming characters, fun loving, and well trained. Maybe it was also because we had the ladies w us... But the well trained part is nothing but the truth. Coming from San Francisco where mixology is at the top of its game compared to the world, I'm a tough one to impress. Let me tell you... I might have to painstakingly abandon my loyalty to my hometown n place it here. Their bartenders put on a good show... And ladies... You won't be disappointed. I've been taking friends here and highly recommending to all my friends visiting Hong Kong. Decor has a clean contemporary look as well as an F1 on display. Yes F1. Me is nothing short of great ambiance n good looking patrons. Bring a date here n the chances of you going home together will be dramatically increased. I promise.

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!).
