I loved the appetizers (avocado spring rolls) and the king crab first course. The dessert was beautifully decorated like a piece of edible art. Having Santa Claus swing by was a nice touch.

For a fancy restaurant that's been around since 1953, with excellent service and good food, I'm…read moresurprised not more people have reviewed it (including tripadvisor.com). From the moment we walked in to when we left, everything was impeccable! The service was top notch, flawless and elegant, but not uptight like most other places. Our waitress was very attentive, even threw in a few jokes here and there, which you don't see much at any upscale restaurants, definitely made the experience more unique. They have live music EVERY NIGHT! The singer even dressed better than we did lol. This is definitely the place you want to dress up for, and not just because the dress code is actually enforced. Let's talk about the most important thing: food. Everything is cooked, prepared, and presented beautifully. The food is delicious. Even the breads and butters (3 different types of butter!) that they serve as filler before your meal are to die for! You can request as much of the bread as you want, and you should eat as much of the bread as you can since the food portions are very small. I know fancy restaurants are not the place to stuff your face and get full, but I do it anyway lol. If my meal was going to cost more than $100USD anywhere, I better walk out of there full! Overall, it was a great experience. I just wish the food portion was bigger. Compares to the other fine dining option at the Peninsula (Felix), this is a better choice if you don't mind little to no view at all.

Food here is Western Cuisine, with a very very slight touch of Hong Kong Western influence. Oops, correct me they do have a few fusion influence dishes e.g. Tofu Custard En Croûte, by the way was very creative and it actually worked! My last visit, I ordered Wagyu Ox Tail in Red Wine Sauce and it was outstanding! The meat is done to perfection without being dry and still had the bounciness and collagen intact! Overall, this is a great location to gather when you have a larger party as they do have a separate room to accommodate, parking is right outside of the restaurant and during off office hours, you can also park at the parking lot in the next building.

Ambience not the cleanest: a hole-in-wall, re-wash all your dishes place. But great dimsum that's pretty cheap - hence they are known as the most affordable Michelin Star restaurant in the world, with 1 star for good quality tasting food for price range. This location is just one of their many Tim Ho Wan branches so if this location is too far for you, there's several other branches in HK and even elsewhere in the world (e.g. NYC). Take out is an option- especially if you have children you don't want touching all the less clean surface areas. They do have high chairs and they don't exempt tea charge for toddlers. As for the dishes, our favorites were the Baked Bun with BBQ Pork and Steamed Egg Cake, which they are known for and indeed taste delicious. Hubby liked their Pan Fried Turnip Cake. We also liked the Glutinous Rice Dumpling which was 1 huge leaf wrapped steamed rice with meat (law mae gae). The Steamed Rice with Chicken Feet and Spareribs was another tasty dish. The Steamed Pork Dumpling with Shrimp (har gow) and Deep Fried Dumplings filled with Pork (ham sui gwok) were OK but was smaller than usual and didn't stand out. The Vermicelli with Beef Roll is one to avoid since the beef in it was too chewy. Overall, great tasting dishes! If looking for elevator to take you down to the lowest level of the mall where they are located, find the elevator on the 2nd floor next to Manning Kids.

Omelet with a side of bacon The all you can eat breakfast is really representative of the multicultural city that Hong Kong is. I spent most of my time in the dim sum section, but I also had an over easy egg cooked Japanese style, some American eggs and bacon, and there were also croissants and other European style breakfast dishes. The service was incredible! The staff was extremely attentive and helpful and they made us feel very pampered.

UURO located in the Causeway Bay area in Hong Kong serves up Italian fusion classics in a casual…read moreand intimate setting. Vibes are moody and dark with dim lighting and dark wood throughout - located in the basement level of a mall complex the restaurant is quite spacious as well. In terms of accessibility, there are escalators going up and down that directly take you to the restaurant. In addition to brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, the restaurant also sells bagels that you can purchase throughout the day. My party of 5 and I decided to dine at Uuro on a Friday night for dinner. We arrived at around 7pm and had to wait about 40 min to be seated (you are given a number upon arrival when you check in with the hostess). This place does get super busy during peak hours so best to go earlier. Once we were seated we were given physical menus as well as asked to scan the QR code to order via QR code. The menu is extensive, where you can get sharable appetizers, pastas, paella, meats, salads, soups, drinks and desserts. In terms of food, there is a mix between Italian and Spanish food, a bit of everything. The prices are actually quite reasonable! My party ordered the following: - Burrata and tomato salad - $58 - Kurobuta bacon skewer (1 piece) - $28 - Yakitori skewer (1 piece) - $28 - Escargot - $58 - Garlic white wine Australian live mussels - $68 - Lardon carbonara - $85 - Tomahawk steak (16 oz) -$208 - Grilled lamb chop (3 pieces) - $178 - Seafood paella - $108 - Smashed wagyu beef burger topped with pico de gallo - $95 - Lime mintea (drink) - $35 Food came pretty quickly once you submitted your order via QR code. The Tomahawk steak was great for sharing and the burrata and tomato salad was fresh. The carbonara was also rich and filling - delicious! The mussels, skewers, and paella were decent where I've had better. The drink options are great where my lime mintea was refreshing. Overall, a great place for European food in the Causeway Bay area. The restaurant is the perfect place to share items with friends and family. Service didn't feel rushed and we were never asked to leave after finishing our food. A great affordable option in this area if you are craving European food!

Lunch is much more affordable and if it's your first visit, I'd recommend trying lunch first. FOOD Everything was nicely presented and satisfying. I enjoyed everything. ART Well there is definitely enough art to satisfy most cravings. This is good news since I'm sure that the art display is the main draw for Bibo. You can also expect an occasional rotation of the art. LOCATION It's not that obvious where their entrance is. My best tip is that there should be a nicely dressed guy standing outside.

Anything less than a SIX star would be unfair…read more Ok I knew there was some sort of French restaurant down the Ladder Street (of course they didn't have a proper sign there). I knew there's a restaurant on Hollywood Road that my friends had been recommending to me. I didn't put two and two together, which was a nice surprise when I was there. Stood at the front door for 30 seconds figuring out how to open the door, we found the button 5 seconds before it was too embarrassing. Pretty neat by the way, blended well with the rest of the street. Greeted by the staff leading down the stairs, "Obey the Giant" was there staring at you making you feel very excited already. Oh and there was a mini sculpture from Koons, a skull by Hirst, a wall print of Le Fifre by Manet (which I suspected to be from Banksy), a graffiti by André, and the Princess Peach by The Invader. A few calligraphy graffiti by Tsang Tsou Choi 曾灶財 even. If you love arts, you will fall in love with this place already. You'd have noticed how the restaurant and the menu were inspired by La Compagnie Generale Francaise de Tramway, the original company resided at this very same address at 1930s. They didn't oversell it though, so it was a nice touch to have. We had a 5 course dinner menu to share and a daily special. Foie gras, slow-cooked eggs with crab cake, red snapper, etc. They were all way too good but as they keep rotating the dishes, it wouldn't be the most helpful telling you how they tasted anyway. Trust your servers' recommendations, if anything helps. (Looking back I don't even think I've ever rated any restaurant six stars just because of the food). What was worth the extra start was service here, which was top notch to say the least. Both myself and my partner noted that they had two different servers to recommend to us the food and the wine respectively, and each of the dishes was served by a different server. We kept looking at the arts around us during the dinner, and a server came by and offered to give us a short intro to each of the arts (which we eventually didn't have the time, but that's beyond the point). We also casually chatted up with the last server who served us the dessert. He asked if it's any occasion we chose to have a dinner here, and we answered, "Yeah, not a biggie but just a cheeky celebration of [something personal]." He later, as a surprise, gave us extra set of sweeties with a candle and the "Happy [something personal]!" written on the dish. We went over the moon. Will definitely come back, maybe to try their branch some time. (And if the manager sees this review, please let me know if Le Fifre was Banksy's work!)

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.

Need an all-day dining option? This is a good spot!…read more They have good happy hour deals on weekdays starting at 3 pm. Select cocktails and beer can go as low as $35HKD! They also have a good wine list that's affordable by the glass. We were a bit peckish one Sunday afternoon so we stopped by and ordered their tasting platter, which had 30 g each of serrano, lomo, chorizo, and salchichon iberico. It was served with some hearty bread slices and gherkins. I wish they could add some cheeses, but after all they are named "Iberico" so I guess I'll let it slide, haha. As it's along the escalators, it's a nice spot to chill over drinks and small plates while you people watch. If you're lucky, you might even witness some tourists who trip and fall at the end of the escalator because they were clearly not paying attention while taking selfies! (Yes, I've seen this happen before and it is schadenfreude at it's finest!)
