The Best Places in Hong Kong

1. Forbes Travel Guide Forbes Five Star

A Neapolitan pizza spot tucked into Wan Chai that imports its ingredients straight from Campania, which in Hong Kong takes either conviction or stubbornness, possibly both. The menu runs classic, specialty, and folded pizzas, with starters that lean home-cooking rather than showpiece. Digestifs and sfogliatella riccia for those who want to stay in the bit. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a spot on 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific.

The charcoal grill has been burning here since the eighties, one of the first of its kind in Hong Kong, and it remains the whole point. This is a hotel steakhouse inside the Regent, with harbour views over Victoria and a beef programme that dry-ages cuts from Japan, Australia, the US, and beyond. The salad bar is a fixture regulars treat as seriously as the meat. It ranked 80th on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.

Rooms start on the fortieth floor of a Pacific Place tower, so the views come standard at this full-service Admiralty hotel. The recent refurb leaned into gold, warm wood, and Asian artwork, which reads less gaudy than it sounds. A rooftop pool, massage suites, a steam room, and a solarium give the whole thing a country-retreat feel that the city center address does nothing to suggest.

A Cantonese master and a French-trained young chef walk into a kitchen together, and somehow it works. This modern Cantonese restaurant in Central pairs a deep classical foundation with technique borrowed from fine dining, producing dishes that slide between obvious fusion and something harder to categorize. The Chinese wine list, drawing from Ningxia, Yunnan, and beyond, is the thing sommeliers here actually want to talk about.

Three MTR lines feed directly into the lobby, which tells you a lot about how this Admiralty tower hotel operates. Pacific Place, the mall it sits inside, handles the shopping and most of the hunger pangs, while the hotel's own roster of bars and restaurants covers the rest. Rooms skew toward the business traveler, but the location, a short ride from the Peak and Tai Kwun, makes leisure work just as well.

The rooms facing Victoria Harbour mean you can watch the skyline do its thing without leaving your bed. This mid-range hotel sits inside Harbour City along Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, so the Star Ferry, Ocean Terminal, and a sprawling luxury mall are all within a short walk. A courtyard pool and a lobby lounge serving afternoon tea give you reasons to stay put when the city gets to be a bit much.

The dining room on the eighth floor of the Grand Hyatt is dressed to suggest a 1930s taipan's mansion, all tall windows and balustrades with harbour views to match. It's a formal Cantonese restaurant that could easily coast on the room, but the kitchen keeps the cooking sharp: refined, classical, and updated just enough each season to give regulars a reason to open the menu.

Fifty-six floors up in the Island Shangri-La, the room announces itself before the menu does: marble columns, plush carpet, chandeliers, and Victoria Harbour laid out below like a screen saver nobody deserves. This is formal contemporary French dining, guéridon trolleys and all, with a cellar stocked deep in rare Château Pétrus. The chef circulates and introduces dishes personally, which is either charming or a lot, depending on your Friday night.

The dessert trolley alone tells you what kind of place this is: old-school, unapologetic, and not about to start plating things in smears. Sabatini is a Roman-style trattoria that has been feeding Hong Kong its lasagne bolognese and ossobuco for longer than most of its neighbors have existed, with faded murals, porcelain vases, and a live band most nights giving the room the feel of a Roman holiday that never quite ended.

A French bistro on the seventh floor of the Mandarin Oriental The Landmark, sitting quietly between two of Hong Kong's most decorated restaurants and not making a fuss about it. The wine list runs to 1,600 options, with over 50 by the glass, which explains the name. The kitchen leans neo-Parisian but cooks with enough precision to keep the room sharp without feeling stiff.

The Vivienne Tam suite on the 27th floor has an Opera Girl portrait made of Swarovski crystals and a ceiling modeled on a Chinese screen, which tells you exactly what kind of hotel this is. A roster of design names, Sir Terence Conran among them, was brought in to give every corner a point of view. The 262 rooms face Victoria Harbour, and the whole place takes its own aesthetic ambitions very seriously, in the best possible company.

A 110-foot atrium stuffed with indoor gardens sets the tone at this Tsim Sha Tsui hotel, where the design leans hard into natural light and element-inspired calm. The rooms keep that logic going with blond-wood desks and pale linen, and the rooftop pool looks improbably tropical given the financial district address. Victoria Harbour views are the other draw for anyone who isn't here to close a deal.

A dim sum and dinner restaurant tucked upstairs in Happy Valley, where the chef treats Cantonese cooking as a starting point rather than a destination. Classical flavours meet French technique, and somewhere in the middle sits a minced beef pie that nods to a British pasty while quietly ignoring both traditions. The smoked soy sauce chicken draws regulars back, and the tasting menu keeps shifting with enough imagination to make each visit feel genuinely different.

The smoked butter chicken, optionally flambéed tableside with Laphroaig, tells you a lot about what Leela is doing. This modern Indian restaurant in Lee Garden Three moves between imperial court cooking and street food, with tandoor-fired dishes and house-made breads anchoring a menu that ranges from Nagpur to Goa. The room skews polished, the sourcing skews seasonal, and the whole project lands somewhere between a serious dinner out and a genuinely fun one.

Dario Cecchini, the famously theatrical Tuscan butcher, brings his nose-to-tail philosophy 39 floors above Tsim Sha Tsui in this Italian steakhouse inside the Mondrian. Dry-aged cuts from Italy, Australia, and the US go over charcoal, and the kitchen works the whole animal rather than just the obvious luxury parts. Harbour views, a strong cocktail program, and service that feels festive rather than formal round things out. It ranks among the World's Best Steak Restaurants.

Tea room aesthetics anchor a regional Chinese restaurant that works its way through all eight of China's great culinary traditions, from Sichuan heat to Cantonese dim sum. The chef de cuisine grew up in Sichuan and brings four decades to a menu that moves between market seafood, banquet dishes, and barbecue, plated with the kind of care that makes the dining room feel slightly more serious than your neighborhood spot.

A full page of shark's fin options should tell you something about the room's ambitions. This is an old-school Cantonese fine-dining restaurant occupying a genuinely generous footprint on the eighth floor of the Convention Centre, which turns out to be an unlikely address for such an opulent interior. The menu runs deep into upscale traditional territory: congee, drunken abalone, char siu, and wok-fried crabmeat with crab roe, the kind of spread where the table next to you has probably ordered differently.

Inside the Four Seasons, Noi runs a seasonal tasting menu where the kitchen keeps one foot firmly in Japan and the other in Italy, a combination that sounds like a dare and eats like it was inevitable. Prime Japanese seafood turns up alongside handmade pasta and silky egg custards, the whole thing choreographed with a precision that stops just short of ceremony. The room draws the kind of crowd that books months out and still acts surprised to be there.

Every morning, Takashi Saito walks Toyosu Market in Tokyo selecting fish that lands in Hong Kong the same day. The omakase counter on the 45th floor of the Four Seasons is his Hong Kong outpost, run by protégés trained to his exacting standard while Saito handles the sourcing himself. The setup means you're eating his eye for quality, even if he's not the one pressing the rice.

A 10-seat hinoki counter and a single, seasonal omakase menu, no choices and no gimmicks. This is a classical Edomae sushi counter where the chef trained under two of Japan's most respected sushi masters, and the fish flies in from Japan daily. The room is quiet and simply lit, each piece explained as it arrives. Hong Kong has no shortage of omakase options, but few are this committed to leaving everything unnecessary off the plate.

Forty-four floors above Central, this yakitori counter takes its guiding idea straight from the Japanese: one skewer, one lifetime. The chef trained under a Tokyo master, and the focus stays narrow, binchotan grill, precise cuts, seasonal vegetables, nothing asking for more attention than it should. Lunch runs to oyakodon and broth noodles; dinner is omakase. The prices, given the address and the altitude, will surprise you.

An Italian fine dining room in Wan Chai that takes the premise seriously enough to land at #12 on 50 Top Italy's global list. The room is elegant without being stiff, designed so you slow down and notice what's around you. The kitchen leans into clean, direct flavors rather than showy technique, and the wine list runs deep on both major labels and small producers the staff can actually talk you through.

Eight seats at a counter on the 16th floor, where the chef runs a seasonal French-Japanese tasting menu shaped by stints at Zest by Konishi and Écriture. The terrace outside offers a more relaxed mood, with Wagyu sando and steak frites for those who prefer their French-Japanese fusion without the ceremony. Two rooms, two tempos, one kitchen holding both together without visible effort.

Hunan cuisine gets less airtime in Hong Kong than Cantonese or Sichuan, and Fu Rong Wu Shuang is quietly making that case in Central. It's a polished, sit-down Chinese restaurant from the Xin Rong Ji group, with interiors by André Fu Studio, so the room is easy on the eyes. The menu leans into Hunanese classics with a lighter touch, and the stinky tofu, fermented with squid ink and black mushrooms before frying, tends to stop the table.

The oxblood banquettes curve through what was once an actual courtroom, which sets a high bar for atmosphere before the food arrives. This is a proper British dining room inside Tai Kwun's restored Central Magistracy, where the vaulted wood-panelled ceiling does most of the heavy lifting on décor. The menu runs roast beef, dressed crab, and soufflé Arnold Bennett, all delivered with the kind of precision that keeps regulars coming back without needing much convincing.

The menu has grown more ambitious since opening, with seafood dishes now leading the charge. A Michelin Selected Restaurant that reads the room without losing the plot.

The name comes from the annatto plant used to give mimolette its orange rind, which tells you exactly how seriously this eight-seat omakase counter takes cheese. The chef worked the cheese program at Caprice before building a menu around ten to twelve courses where French and Japanese technique take turns with the same ingredient, baked, braised, foamed, or tucked into rice. The bar does casual cheeseboards if commitment feels like a lot.

A French-Korean tasting menu restaurant on Lyndhurst Terrace where the kitchen trained across three-Michelin-starred kitchens in Seoul and Singapore, and it shows. The team takes Korean classics and works them through a French technique, so a steamed egg arrives with mushroom sabayon, and a ginseng chicken soup becomes a multi-course arc. Desserts lean into Korean grains in ways that feel considered rather than gimmicky.

Jazz plays softly at this 12-seat cypress Edomae sushi counter in Tsim Sha Tsui, where the mood is warmer than the typical hushed reverence the format usually demands. The chef trained for over a decade under a Japanese sushi master and now nudges tradition with Hong Kong instincts, using dual vinegars on the rice to suit each fish. Toyosu fish arrives daily. Sake is on the menu, and so are tequila highballs, which tells you something about the room.
