Food was good. Nice outdoor area for a cigar. Pleasant ambiance except the notice in the washroom a little comical. read more

The Continental - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Came here recently a while back take away dinner. Tried: the chicken, the sea bass, the gnochetti, and a few others. We also got a whole lot of bread here. I thought that the sea bass was definitely better than the chicken, which itself was not too bad but a little bit on the dry side. It's chicken breast, what can you expect. The gnochetti was definitely not what I was expecting - it's more like pasta, when I was expecting gnocchi, but still quite nice. It felt more like macaroni. Finally, I'm not sure if they bake their bread in house, but they have a whole lot of variety of bread here. Definitely worth a try if you are here; I believe it is free Overall, I think the food was quite nice. Yes, it is indeed expensive. For three people, we spent about $2000 HKD. You have to consider if take away makes sense for you, as I'm not sure if most people would want to pay such a high price for food that you can't enjoy in the restaurant. For me, because I had a coupon here, I wasn't exactly paying for it. However, the food itself is pretty good, and since that was is ultimately what I'm evaluating, I'd say it deserves about four stars. read more

A pleasant place: relaxing and comfortable. We had a salad, lamb, risotto, carrot cake, and wine. Everything was at least not bad. I would not specifically recommend any dish, but the place is charming. Service and atmosphere were great. Would like to come by to have a drink with some snacks. read more

We stopped by the continental for a random dinner. What stood out to me first was the venue. Really nice ambiance and decor. It's what you'd expect for a restaurant like this. The French onion soup was amazingly good. The toasted bread on top, dripping with cheese. Fresh oysters, briney and slippery - can't go wrong with fresh oysters! The bone marrow had that fatty, collagen and marrow in it. The fish was pretty good too. The lamb was a bit undercooked but the fries were crispy and salty. Perfectly fried. Good restaurant to take a date or just get some quality, fine dining.

The Continental wasn't around when I lived in Hong Kong, but I came here for afternoon tea with a friend this time around. The restaurant is nice with pleasant decor, however, the selection of afternoon tea items was average. We didn't want any sweet items, and since the standard afternoon tea items come with sweet selections, we ordered a la carte. After a selection of finger sandwiches, we ordered a Croque Madame to share. It was decent but not fantastic. This wouldn't be my first choice but it is at Pacific Place so it is very convenient and also offers outside patio seating. read more

Great restaurant and bar! The chef is from Chicago and has relocated to Hong Kong and is a French trained. The bartender who is a young man name Safal is also a good mixologist. He is also has a great personality and speaks English well. We didn't try any of the food but had quite a few shots and cocktails. It was right across from our hotel, the Conrad, so great place to have one too many for us. read more

Domani closed in May 2014 upon the expiry of its lease, ending the Italian restaurant's 6 year tenure at the free-standing structure designed by Heatherwick Studio. Replacing Domani, we have The Continental, another addition to Swire Hotel's growing portfolio of stand-alone restaurants since it's first one (Plat du Jour in Quarry Bay) opened in November 2013. While the structure retains its iconic exterior with the elegant fluid/wavy roof and glass walls, the interior is re-vamped by David Collins Studio (that designed a number of Michelin restaurants), who retains the organic wood and bronze of its predecessor while injecting "Continentality" with warm accents of emerald green. While the drinks list is commendable, I wasn't able to find the Italian favorites I used to order at Domani; hence I turned to Scotch, and was delighted to see that they had around 20 quality names to choose from. I picked the love-it-or-hate-it Laphroiag 10-Year ($180) since smokiness has been my recent craze. A note of caution to fellow whisky-lovers: order your drink neat or ice on the side since they do not have proper ice. Given the restaurant's focus on fresh locally-sourced organic ingredients, it was natural to start with some fresh seafood. Cherrystone Clams on the Half Shell ($120) were quite succulent and the stringy texture allowed you to better detect the sweetness while chewing. The sauce, which contained diced shallots, peppers and vinegar also paired well with the clams. I would recommend this dish if not for the sand that wasn't thoroughly washed from the shells. Moving on to the mains, the Hanger Steak with Chips and Shallot & Red Wine Sauce ($235) was a no-brainer for me, the meat was tender and cooked to medium-rare to my preference. The fries were shoe-string, which I much prefer over wedges. It was a delicious dish and a little moment of victory for me. The steak also came with Shallot & Red Wine Sauce, which resembled concentrated French Onion Soup without the Cheese, actually not bad; but I was happy with mustard, where the restaurant offered a choice between French Dijon, English and whole-grain. The Snapper with Citrus Fruits and Olive Oil ($225) was well paired, where the acidity of the fruits were pleasant against the mild flavor and texture of the fillet. However, I found the snapper a bit too thickly-cut, and hence bland and lacking of flavor. On the side, we ordered a Creamed Spinach ($45). Actually, may I rename this to Milked Spinach Gratin. As opposed to the usual steakhouse dish, it was milky instead of creamy, giving it a lighter healthier substance. I really loved that it was baked under an overhead grill like a gratin to give it a bit of a golden crust of cheese. All in all, Swire seems to have the F&B business down to a formula. The Continental serves well-executed fail-proof dishes in an ambient setting; making it a versatile outlet for many occasions. be it business lunches, brunch, family & friends' gatherings, birthdays, romantic dinners and so on. They also have an al fresco area, perfect for the breezy autumn weather as of late. I believe I'll be back for brunch or some wine & dine soon. read more

We came to The Continental for Sunday brunch after I consumed too many martinis Saturday night. The Hong Kong bar scene is too damn good. An extensive menu, with lots of starchy items, was exactly what the doctor ordered. Filled to the brim with families, couples, and groups of diners, the Continental's innovative design brought the outside in, shielding the patrons from the urban jungle that is the essence of Hong Kong. Glass walls connected the interior with the outside patio, and the place rocked with an energetic hum. The menu had all the usual suspects for a brunch with no surprises. Nothing was memorable, but it was all good. Service was young, inexperienced, but well meaning. The Continental reminded me of a bustling cafe one would find in a large hotel in Las Vegas or Miami Beach, loud and fun, with food that fills the belly but not the soul. Prices were Hong Kong high, around 90 American dollars for two. A bad deal in most cities, but probably average in cosmopolitan urbanity. read more

The first time I came here was actually back in March, right before I went to the Asia Contemporary Art Show. Since I got there before my friend did, I had some time to enjoy my hot chocolate before she arrived. Hot Chocolate Nothing special about the hot chocolate here but the ambiance at The Continental is pretty relaxing, complete with an outdoor area, which is perfect for chilling and catching up with friends over drinks. After my friend arrived, I was already famished by that point. I opted for the Eggs Benedict, thinking it would be a safe choice. Eggs Benedict The Eggs Benedict were pretty mediocre. Not much to comment here and definitely no surprises. Just an ordinary, relaxing weekend brunch. I went back to The Continental two more times for brunch after that and my final verdict for The Continental is don't expect the food to be great. However, if you just want a nice place to catch up with friends, go for it. read more

Great looking place, with food as good. The mushroom soup is a home run. And the burger was cooked a bit too red for medium rare so went back for another dance, and arrived medium well, overcooked. Super tasty and came out looking new, but far from medium rare. Staff was fantastic, once seated. Place is busy and a few additional tables would be great. Easy MRS connecting through a super expensive high end mall, Pacific Place. Would come back as I hear the cocktail hour is super fun. read more

If you need to take a break and go somewhere nice for lunch with good food and SPACE (in hk, that's a luxury), Continental is the place. Its hidden in a corner on the street level of Pacific Place across from the Upper House but the moment I stepped in, I fell in love with the décor. They also have an outdoor patio which would be great if it didn't rain today. Anyway, moving onto the food. First off, the complimentary focaccia bread and the blended olive oil sauce was the BOMB. I couldn't resist and dipped my bread in two plates of that finger licking sauce. I came with a friend of mine who was an ex chef of a Michelin star restaurant in New York, and if a chef say the food is good, you know it's the REAL DEAL. For a party of two, this is what we got. Tuna Tartare Pickled green chilies, jicama, cucumbers, avocado, coriander & calamansi. Well executed with a kick of chilies. 4/5 stars Orecchiette Pasta & Lamb Sausage Merguez Broccoli, cannellini beans, garlic & olive oil This was just alright for my personal liking. Complex flavors and pasta made to perfection 3/5 stars Mangalica Pork Rack Braised red cabbage - horseradish sour cream. If you have not had Mangalica or don't know what it is, go Google it. It's the Waygu equivalent of pork. So fatty and juicy. Absolutely loved it 5/5 stars Rangers Valley "Black Market" Short Rib Braised slowly with black truffles. The short ribs had the right amount of fat in it, boneless and the sauce paired so well with the black truffles mashed potatoes. If you are looking for something with bold flavours, this is IT. By far the best short ribs I have ever had 5/5 stars read more

The food and service suck in dining area. I had the worst pork chop I've ever had. The size of the wine by the glass was inconsistent. Don't go for dining except the bar. I miss Domani.. Why they closed? read more
