The alcohol selection is not great, and the pricing for it, even worse. However, the food is beautifully presented and for the most part, consistent in quality. I highly recommend the pig trotters and fresh fish. This is a nice selection for a date for the panoramic view and candlelight romantic ambiance.

Zurriola's philosophy is to 'promote fine and avant-garde Spanish gastronomy' and the place does…read morelive up to it. 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.

I sometimes will not be full after eating at a Spanish restaurant but that isn't the case here. My four star rating is based on the following: Food: 4 stars Environment: 5 stars Service: 3.5 stars Value: 4 stars Recommendations: 1) ham, truffle sandwich, 2) charcuterie, 3) tomato bread, 4) onsen egg w/chorizo The meal was really strong at the beginning. We had the charcuterie board and oysters for the appetizers. The cold cuts were nice and thin packed with flavor and not too salty. The tomato bread that it was paired with was really simple and delicious. I also really enjoyed the oysters. The best part of the meal was the tapas portion. They do their own version of migas where instead of chunks of potato they use crispy potato strips and replace the poached egg with an onsen egg. This disease really good and I would definitely order this again. My favorite part of the meal was the ham and truffle sandwich. I'm a sucker for black truffle and the truffle really shines through here. The cheese was melted nicely and the bread was nicely toasted. This hits all the notes I look for in a sandwich. The fried white bait was also good. Of the tapas this was my least favorite but it was still tasty. These little fried fishes paired really nicely with the aioli and would be a nice complement to a beer or alcoholic beverage. The mains were ok and not as good as the tapas. We had the sea bass and the pork. Of the two the sea bass was better. It had a nice crispy skin and the dill and onions paired nicely. The sauce it came with I didn't like too much. Next time I think I will pay the extra 40 hkd to upgrade to the beef. We had the lemon parfait and the churros for dessert and both were pretty good but not great. I was a bit disappointed with the churros. They didn't come out hot and weren't as crispy as I would like. The chocolate sauce it came with was good and helped make up for the churro. The lemon parfait was different from what I expected. It was more like a lemon cake. It was nice and tart and the cookie crumbs it came with gave a nice sweetness and crunch to contrast the texture of the parfait. All in all I would definitely come back. At a minimum for happy hour to have some tapas and cocktails.

This review is for the rooftop only, not the restaurant itself…read more The views and happy hour were what drew me. I love rooftop bars and am on an unofficial quest to visit them all. I can say that FoFo's rooftop bar is solidly...middling. The happy hour deals were middling: 30% off house wine, beer, and sangria. I tried several reds before settling instead on a glass of prosecco which better fit the warm air. The reds were fine but nothing special. The prosecco was nice; dry and light. My buddy had the red sangria, which tasted like sweet fruit punch, almost like an Xmas drink. The views were middling: from Lan Kwai Fong sweeping east across Central and Admiralty into the hills above the Zoological and Botanical Gardens. No stunning harbour views or dizzying heights, but totally enjoyable nonetheless. Perhaps improved by the surrounding office windows which become fishbowls for observation at a certain evening hour. The atmosphere was superb! Just kidding. It too was middling. There was a nice breeze blowing across the roof, but the decor was strange - it was very dark and there were little orb lamps that just hadn't been turned on. The tables and chairs seemed to be lacking something, whether they just needed a good wipe down or their matching cushions were gone. And the whole place gave off the air of being a bit forgotten and empty, parts of the bar covered in plastic wrap and only one lonely server inattentively serving because his phone was more interesting than the clientele. Not sure if I'll be back.

Wonderful views of the harbour from the Kowloon side. Great place to watch the sun set or see the…read moreSymphony of Lights. I love bringing out-of-towners here. 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.

I wrote a lot in my check-in here recently and must say how thoroughly disappointed I am by their…read morenew "laws" on minimum spend. So: $180 for bar and $300 something for food, per person. 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.

E.g. the hamachi was good but the atlantic salmon was dry and bland. The pastas were well cooked and perhaps the best out of the tasting menu. However the desserts failed to impress. The tiramisu had no discernible coffee liqueur and the cream was heavy. The toffee ice cream in the catalan creme foam was completely melted. Ambiance is great especially if you get a balcony table which is more private. You have to spend a minimum amount though to reserve the balcony table and if the people at the balcony next to you are smoking, get ready for an entire night of succumbing to second hand smoke. Other than that we would return if they improved some of their lacking dishes and enforced a better non-smoking policy.

This is linked to Vasco upstairs by a Spanish chef - 2 private rooms, each sits 8-10 people - open bar space, good for networking event - has a tiny unofficial balcony for the smokers - very high ceiling, seems spacious - friendly staff - we ended up having a super long lunch as they didn't want to serve the main course until we are completely done with the entree - very affordable for lunch. Approx 160 for a 2 course lunch - food was good. Serves warm bread (makes a difference!) Happy to return.

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!).

In summary: - cute decor, open kitchen - not a very big place, sits about 25 people - friendly staff, speaks good English and bothers to explain to you how they cook the dish when they serve - thumbs up for garlic prawn - bell pepper salad was just okay - classic tortilla was good - lobster paella was good. They have a good selection of different paellas, and you can choose the size depending on the size of your group - huge thumbs up for their sangria. The ice was made out of sangria, nice touch!!
