Central Eating

As for dining in and around Central, there are so many choices I almost don’t know where to start.

Both Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo provide Hong Kong’s most concentrated areas of bars and restaurants, and part of the fun is wandering around before settling on a place to park.

Otherwise, for lunch, two great atmospheric Cantonese restaurants are City Hall Maxim’s Palace and Lin Heung Tea House, both of which still offer dim sum the old-fashioned way, on wheeled trolleys.

For a special occasion, I’m partial to Watermark, located at the Central Ferry Piers with outstanding views of the harbor and specializing in steaks and seafood, and Duddell’s, a classy and hip Cantonese restaurant. Yung Kee is renowned for its roast goose.

And if you’re simply looking for a great place for a cocktail, I love the outdoor terrace at Sevva, up on the 25th floor and offering great panoramic views day and night.
