I sat outside on a hot summer day (33C / 91F) around 1pm and the staff turned on a large fan to…read morehelp me cool down. I couldn't really read the QR code menu on my phone as the website wasn't too friendly in design for mobile navigation. They brought out a paper menu and it's a novel with pictures of every item! I decided to not go with their set lunches (three course soup/salad, mains, dessert or coffee). I just went for a beer and a crab/shrimp ball bite. It was delish and would def return for a more substantial meal. FYI, HH starts at 3pm where most of their beer and wine by the glass is close to 50% off!

Moule Frites. One of my favorite dishes and probably the best things on the menu here at frites. We…read morecame here a few times for the daily specials! I wanted to try the surf and turf Tuesday but they were sold out!! super disappointing! We came back for the mussels which are cooked properly, bathing in a broth of wine, olive oil, butter, parsley and stock. The fries were perfectly crispy and even work to dip into the broth. Although moule frites is the popular dish, I personally like to dip nice warm bread into the broth. Nothing better than soaking fresh bread in a tasty sauce. It's a cool spot for some drinks too Taste: *** Service: *** Ambiance: *** ------------------------------ FRITES Belgium on Tap G/F Queen's Road Centre 152, Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong ------------------------------

This becomes my new love when I saw 30+ import and local craft beer on taps. Combined with the…read moremagical combination of well prepared southern chicken, it certainly made the dinning experience among the best. I enjoy going there when it is less busy, such as I the afternoon. During that time, you might get a taster before finalizing the selection. I can't really go wrong with serving beers when the service provided is outstanding. All I have to say is that the beers is fresh, cold and with great varieties. The chicken comes hot and moist. Crispy and perfectly seasoned with cajun style. Ask for spices as that really spiced it up. I personally really missed the Popeye chicken brand when I used to live in Canada. However, given a long search for good deep fried chicken in Hong Kong; tried many Korean chicken places and the popeye in HK airport, none of them is comparable. Yet the Round House has something way better than Popeye. Luckily, the Korean hype in Hong Kong is attracting the crowds to the Korean fried chicken. Now this local gem would be serving people truly appreciate the lovely married combination of Beers and Chicken.

Definitely recommend the 'shadows of the mind' farmhouse dark, I think it's from carbon brews (which the list as an HK brewery). It's great. I only drink dark, so this category I know. The imperial Is a little too sweet for me.

Marketed as a trendy, Belgian restaurant, this place definitely takes you out of the usual Chinese…read morefeel of Hong Kong. My coworkers and I have a tradition of coming here to spend our hard earned money on pricy food. On one occasion I simply ordered an appetizer: I tried steak tartare for the first time here, and became a fan. Being the opportunistic people that we are however, our main draw to this place are its daily special discounts. My first time dining here was on Wagyu Wednesday, an awesome discount for getting the Wagyu burger on a Wednesday. Mussels Monday (all-you-can-eat mussels of different flavors, on a Monday) is my most recent Frites endeavor. Be careful with mussels, especially if they're all-you-can-eat. In my childhood I had read about the dangers of eating bad mussels (mussels that don't open after cooking), but I mostly ignored them this time around and faced the repercussions the next day. It wasn't too bad for me, but I am taking a break from mussels for a bit. The Laksa Mussels were notably delicious. My coworker and I were particularly interested in the unlimited steak offer they had for the weekend, named "Strip Night". We wanted to challenge ourselves to getting our money's worth of meat, and possibly risked developing heart disease in the process, but in the end it was well worth the experience. As with any all-you-can-eat situation, the more food that we had already eaten, the less active the service staff were in trying to help us, i.e. they often stopped looking in our general direction, pretending to not see us. I understand their tactics: I am also always looking to save money, which is why I came to their all-you-can-eat deal nights. I still got what I wanted, as there is no time limit per se (except during the period of time in Hong Kong when dining-in was banned after 6PM). The steaks were delicious, and I was able to experiment with eating different cooking temperatures of steak. No more well done steaks for me!

Ever since Hong Kong's colonial days, Western foods have had their dominant presence in the food…read morescenes in the financial and tourist districts, such as the Central District, Wanchai, Causeway Bay and Tsim Tsa Tsui (TST). They cater to locals and tourists, as well as the constantly growing expat population. So I was not one bit surprised when I saw a Belgian restaurant in the food section of Causeway Centre, across from the Wanchai Ferry Pier and next to the Sun Hung Kai Financial Building. It's a somewhat trendy place with an European ambience, and upon entering, I found that the language spoken by the receptionists and servers was English and not Chinese. (For those of you who have never been to HK or China, this means that your wallet will be emptied but your stomach will not be full.) Set lunches with their at best mediocre selections run about USD30, which is pretty steep even in the expensive financial districts in HK. If you want to order a la carte, items are around USD 30 - 40, although steak frites will set you back about $50. Bear in mind that this is not upscale as in Morton's or Ruth Chris. This is more like a Yard House kind of place. SCHNITZEL AND FRITES: It's a popular European dish which is a thin pork cutlet that is tenderized, coated with bread crumbs and deep fried. The bread crumb coating ewas light and crispy; the meat was tender, flavorful and yummy. The frites (fries in English) were less impressive though. There were literally numerous Belgian Fries stalls, carts, and kiosks wherever we went when we were in Brussels and we loved Belgian fries. The most distinct difference is that the potatoes are not soft and starchy, and they are fried twice. Sorry... but the fries here tasted nowhere near those in the streets of Brussels. THE GOOD WIFE SAUSAGE: It was an interesting looking sausage that was in the form of a coil. Although I've tried various sausages in Brussels, I never had the opportunity to taste this particular variation. It looked and tasted like a "Boudin" sausage which is typically made with pork and is lighter in color. I liked the texture and its taste; and if you are an European sausage fan, you'll probably like this. The gravy was tasty with a strong aroma of onion, but I was hoping for a rich gravy with an authentic Flemish dark beer flavor. The mash was good, but nothing to write home about, especially at these prices.

Being that it's Hong Kong, my expectations are nil when it comes to remotely anything western --…read morewhich includes all things German evidently as well. TST has managed to see the opening of several German establishments over last few years, so why not a few more? 尖東 has effectively become a western melting pot of establishments with waterfront views and rapidly pricey area. Overall, Brotzeit surprised me. Decent beers on tap, much of which are largely German and epic platters that will satiate any big eater, and much like the rest of their neighbors: a revamped interior with indoor and outdoor spaces. Be it a casual drink meetup or an alternative dinner option, this place just works. The staff is comprised of mainly local folks with a good command of English. As expected, their German is virtually non-existent, save for a few beer names and their prominent dishes. Overall, they're efficient and friendly, which is as much as one can ask for in HK. Western fare will not come cheap and the same applies here. The bathrooms are two floors up in the TST Center and the views of Hong Kong are somewhat obscured by the highway barricades, but it won't diminish a good weather night. Come thirsty and preferably with good company.

OK this place gets major kudos for the waiter who informed us how to get a free Germain beer mug (…read morethe huge good quality ones, that typically will cost a few bucks)...needless to say our restaurant neighbors weren't pleased as their waiter didn't follow suit and I should add it was Oktoberfest so I don't think this practice is typical. I'm not really a fan of Germain sausages and such so we ordered a sampler, which was just OK, but the beer was tasty and at that moment that's all that mattered

Solid bar with expertly-crafted drinks, an impressive whisky list and beautiful views…read more Ask the bartenders and they'll work with you to make something that you'll like. Or just pull a whiskey from the bar and drink it neat -- your call... but that seems kind of boring. Why come to a craft cocktail bar just to have them pour something out of the bottle for you? I can do that at home! I am pretty sure you need a reservation if you come at normal times and you want a view. If I recall correctly, they don't do "standing" and each person needs to order a drink. Much more low-key than the nearby Lan Kwai Fong, and much more enjoyable, IMO. Totally opposite, really: very relaxed and comfortable vs. the crush of people and overall noise associated with other places. What else? It is near the Central MTR station, so access is pretty easy, although you do have to fight the LKF crowds out of the station. You enter an office building and take the elevator to the 29/30 floor, then a set of stairs to the bar on 30.

As such, Bar De Luxe has a very relaxed feel and gentlemen's club feel. When you are seated, the server will bring you a hot towel to freshen up. After ordering a drink, you'll receive a bite sized snack. I wasn't sure what to get but luckily there is an option on the menu to have the bartender create something unique for you. The server will ask you want kind of base you'd like and then what flavor (strawberry, peach, etc.) I ended up having a cocktail that was a champagne base and Japanese strawberries. The drink was incredibly good. Full stop. Because it's fairly new, the crowds have not discovered it yet so hurry!
