Feed your cravings with everything from street eats to Michelin menus

There’s no better place to discover diverse, delicious food than Hong Kong. As a melting pot of traditional recipes, fresh flavours and pioneering cuisines, you’ll find a bite to excite every taste bud in the city, with everything from small-dish dim sum to succulent sweet and sour pork on the menu.

Try a cha chaan teng

A cornerstone of Hong Kong’s culinary culture since the 1950s, cha chaan tengs are low-cost tea restaurants that celebrate Canto-Western cuisine with heaping menus of eclectic comfort food. From famous Hong Kong-style milk tea to fresh-baked egg tarts, buttery French toast, and fluffy pineapple buns, you’re sure to find your flavour in one of these iconic, back-to-basics eateries.

Dine at dai pai dongs

There’s no foodie experience in Hong Kong quite as authentic as dai pai dong dining. These no-frills food stalls have been serving hungry patrons since the late 19th century and are famous for their folding tables, canopied seating and generous portions. Expect to sample tasty local favourites like wonton noodles, pork knuckle, chicken rice, squid stir-fry and more.

Make Michelin-star memories

With 77 Michelin-starred restaurants to its name, Hong Kong is no stranger to fine dining. Whether you’re seeking innovative Cantonese cuisine at Lung King Heen, subtle Japanese flavours at Sushi Saito or contemporary French flair at Amber, there’s no shortage of high-end options boasting a constellation of hard-earned stars. For something more casual, but equally acclaimed, try Kam’s Roast Goose.

Sample street food favourites

No food-lover’s visit to Hong Kong is complete without sampling the city’s street food. Throw on some comfy shoes, pack your appetite and hit the pathways to enjoy the Asian eateries of Shau Kei Wan, the bountiful bites of Dundas Street and the late-night snacks of the Tai On Building. Satisfy your cravings with everything from cart noodles and oyster omelettes to egg waffles and tofu pudding.

Drink in rooftop views

After enjoying all the fine food and tasty treats Hong Kong has to offer, end your day on a high by visiting one of the city’s picture-perfect rooftop bars. If you’re shopping in Tsim Sha Tsui, visit Eyebar or Hutong for clear views across the harbour to Hong Kong Island.
