I've been travelling to and from Hong Kong for as long as I can remember, and the Peak Cafe Bar is…read moreone of the only places I can recall that remains the same in an ever changing landscape of food and drink in Hong Kong. When I think ahead of where I always want to visit in my downtime the Peak Cafe Bar is always top of the agenda. The atmosphere and decor is fabulous! It's a modern take on Art Deco with a Chinese twist. The detailing on the furniture has been really thought about, and it's the little details that makes this place really stand out from the crowd. The only thing that might let this place down (only slightly!) is the food is a bit hit and miss; sometimes I have a beautiful meal here, but other times like today the food is a bit below standard. I would give the steak sandwich a miss. A most iconic haunt to visit on the island.

Peak Cafe is absolutely my favourite place at Christmas. It makes such a good mulled wine and I…read morelove the chatty atmosphere. The food is okay, not the greatest but not the worst. It's definitely a must do at Christmas! Although be prepared to wait a little as the service is a little slower than most of the joints in soho. I'm not a big Peak Cafe frequenter during the rest of the year, although if you're stuck for an easy eat in soho, their menu has all types of cuisine to offer. From all day breakfasts, to Asian delights to pizzas - you're bound to find something for a group who can't quite decide on their noms of choice. My top tip - have a mulled wine or two. I have, so this review may be a little biased on how good the slosh is!

Before I start expressing how I actually felt about the dining experience, I want to specify that…read moremy waiter was the best part of this experience by a mile. Mustafa (hopefully this is spelled correctly) was: kind, attentive, incredibly speedy, and inhumanly composed. An absolute delight to have as a server, and frankly while my review isn't particularly positive, I would have found the experience to be borderline 1 star just based on the actual flavors of the food relative to the pricing if not for him having saved the experience. If I could do this dinner again, I would honestly order less food, as you get the same view whether you order a single tasting menu and grab some takeout elsewhere afterwards, but at face value the flavors seemed bold yet feasible, as though they could turn out well depending on the execution. In reality we ended up spending approximately $1200HKD per person on a tasting menu that had one to two memorable items each. We actually spent an additional $98HKD on a dish that neither one of us felt compelled to finish. The second course tempura was more interesting flavor-wise than either of our mains, in part due to the chili infused tempura sauce doing a lot of heavy lifting. We are not generally fine dining individuals, it is an occasion we reserve for special events (this was our anniversary), but we do have enough experience to know that the execution of these dishes was miles away from a single Michelin star, yet commanded prices well above most of the one-star restaurants we've visited. The waiter took plenty of photos to commemorate the experience, and we managed to see both the 8PM "city of lights" show on the businesses spread along the harbor, as well as a fascinating lightning storm directly in front of us in a massive panoramic, which should lead to an unforgettable night, but the quality of the food left us grasping at straws to find silver linings. I wish I could remember this experience more fondly, but every time a family member asks whether we enjoyed the food, we struggle to muster any enthusiasm and at roughly $2,800HKD after 10% service charge I can't help but wish we had gone elsewhere to get better food and just visited some sort of observation deck instead.

Let me first start by saying that the management team here is solid. We had a situation with our…read morepizza, and the bar manager, Timothy, handled it professionally and made sure my husband and I were taken care of. That level of attentiveness and accountability is what excellent customer service looks like. Aqua is another rooftop bar overlooking the harbor with beautiful views of the city skyline and waterfront. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, making it a great spot to unwind, enjoy a cocktail, and take in the scenery. There was a DJ spinning throughout the evening, which kept the energy up and added to the overall vibe.

While in Hong Kong to visit friends, we made a trip to the Mo Bar in the Mandarin hotel. It was a…read moredramatic change from some of the simpler local fare I tried earlier. We were there early, so the service was good and we were seated pretty quickly. The decor was modern and upscale as you would expect from a Mandarin hotel. Definitely a nice spot to try if you're looking for a swanky night out.

Mo Bar is a Cafe in the newer wing of Mandarin Oriental Hotel and right inside Landmark. So I was like yes when he suggested we came here for a drink and dessert. It might be because it was Easter Holiday, the Cafe was not too busy. They did have have live DJ bashing the music so loud that I could barely think. My drink was ok but I prefer the rooftop bar at the Older Wing of Mandarin Oriental Hotel a lot more. New York Cheesecake was just boring with the plating and the taste. Canele ($15) was dried and hard. Rose Petal ($138) Belvedere Vodkas, Lychee Liqueur, Rose Syrup, Lychee was pretty in pink but boring. The decor though was really nice and pastel. I love all these open space. Service was slow and our wait staff seemed to be quite untrained for a Cafe in a 4 star+ hotel. I did expect more professionalism. Will I be back?? Probably not. There are a lot better and interesting cafes in the area.

This is my first time in Hong Kong and I was wandering around Sheung Wan looking for a place to…read moreeat. Sort of stumbled in here and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The ownership clearly takes pride in what they do and it shows through in the food/drinks. The space is small and intimate with an open kitchen, which allows you to get right in the action. I'd recommend sitting at the bar, having a negroni or a spritz, sharing a couple small plates, and enjoying the live DJ. We had the burrata, pizzette, pasta, and octopus; all simply prepared and made with top sourced ingredients. If you're in Hong Kong for even a short stay, put this on the itinerary. Thanks again to the staff for making my night so memorable.

This was not the bar we intended on going to, but our first choice was packed and I am not one to wait in line for booze. Not certain what even Mitte was, but having a blue lit sign, a door that said open, we popped right in to this tiny space that appears to be open kitchen, bar, dining room and DJ lounge all packed into a cool vibe of a space at first glance. Negroni? Discovering that the owners are friends with the folks that make/produce Negroni spirits, all of the cocktails on their list are Negroni spirited. They do have wine and beer as well and what appeared to be a full bar (don't quote me on that, but I am guessing that their liquor license states full bar, not beer/wine/Negroni). We went with Negroni options off their list and were delighted that they were unexpectedly cute, served in wine glasses and absolutely refreshing. We enjoyed our drinks and were on our way in no time, but we will be back. They have 8 spots for people to sit and eat dinner, so make a reservation if you are coming. There was a DJ setting up during our time there, so note that it might be a touch loud while you are scarfing down tasty bites. We were there around 6:15PM or so on a Thursday and it was us and some girlfriends gathering at the small space at their bar. The menu appears to be Italian and I like you can see the people making the food in their tiny kitchen right there behind the bar. Drinks were like $120 a pop, which is not cheap, but kind of in line with the area. Dinner menu items seemed fair in price. We will give them a shot for dinner some time and would go back for drinks.

Came here for lunch on a workday…read more Impossible burger - very tasty but do not recommend it if you are eating with coworkers because it'll get pretty messy. It comes with fries too so it is very filling. Risotto- exceptional! The semi-raw egg just add an extra creaminess to it. But they drizzle quite a lot of oil on top of it so it felt a bit heavy but overall very good! Side note: the AC here is very very very cold so bring a jacket or come with an extra layer in summer time.

Not necessarily for a recent visit, but more so one in general…read more This spot has been here for a number of years already. Though it's technically a restaurant, this place has a very big facility, which means if you want to come here for drinks, a place which functions kind of like a lounge, or have some sort of office event, this place is also a good choice. As such, this place is unsurprisingly quite popular on Friday night (or Thursday night also), or just nights when people typically have social activities in general. Personally, I feel like the food is not bad. I first came a number of years ago, and thought at the time that the food was pretty good. Having come back again in the past couple months as well, I found myself still basically feeling that way. However, I feel like this place is pretty bad value overall. It's very expensive, which is, I feel, mainly due to the high overhead costs. Having a restaurant in this one little area is very expensive, considering this is prime office real estate. The problem is made worse by the fact that they just have such a large space here. The amount of food you get is not really in line with the price you pay; it would be one thing if it were expensive and you got enough food with your dollar, but that's just not the case, even if the food is good. The problem isn't just M&M fox however, Quarry Bay in general is in general just a wasteland when it comes to fine dining that is actually good value. I think if you're really determined to have western food that is like... better than mcdonalds, you should either go to frites (less than five minutes away), or just not dine in this neighborhood in general.

Lobster Bar is special. Not only is it located in Island Shangri-La hotel (which screams high end customer service), but Lobster Bar takes unique great pride in their establishment as a Taj Mahal of crafted cocktails in Hong Kong. A friend of mine back in Las Vegas told me that this bar was on a Top 10 list she recently read about. Being a full time martini drinker who takes a vacation from my beverage of choice in the summer time, I was blown away by my experience with their crafted cocktails at Lobster Bar last night. The ambiance of the Lobster Bar that spills into the well-appointed Lobster Grill is welcoming. Light blues, detailed stained glass windows, hard woods, maroons, great lighting...everything is there to enjoy your time at the bar or in one of their comfy couches. After ordering our two drinks, be prepared for a little wait time. Not because the bartender is busy with throngs of customers, but because of the time, care and preparation that goes into making these special concoctions. Really quite special a special craft. We enjoyed a Genever Smash and a Lemon Sherbet Bishop. Order a drink, take a sip and then ask to relook at the drink menu to see the ingredients. The ingredients and flavors come to life when you see them and then consume them at the same time. I realize that booze is a time old tradition shared by millions across the world. Lobster Bar is special and a twist to this tradition. You can get a drink anywhere, but do yourself a favor and go to Lobster Bar and order one of their crafted cocktails. It will be a drink you will not soon forget!

Although the laidback tunes they bump here are actually really nice and a great way to enjoy Sunday lunch. Their lunch set consists of a soup starter, and your choice of appetizer. We went with crab cakes, which are solid by HK standards but average/below average by New England standards. The main courses are fantastic - see the pictures! The bread they give you here is phenomenal - I've no idea what they do to it but I'd come back just for the bread. We've been eating bread wrong our whole lives. Whole grain, whole shmain. Service here was great although the sparkling water is absurdly expensive. 70 HKD for a bottle of sparkling is mind boggling. Heard this place has a nice rooftop too - highly recommend a return visit!
