Another elegant restaurant is Harbor Road housed in a re-created Taipan Mansion of the 1930s. The terrace offers magnificent views of Hong Kong. The chef specializes in Cantonese delicacies like fried birds’ nest on eggs, shark fin and abalone with oyster mélange.

Yu at the Regent Hotel is very recommended too- ideal for fresh seafood. Large fish tanks adorn the restaurant. These fish tanks contain large ocean reef specimens. It’s a must see. Don’t miss the Boston lobster in Cuban style bean sauce or the mussels flown in from New Zealand.

At the top of the new Peninsula Hotel tower you’ll find another gem of fine dining. It’s the acclaimed Felix. Asian-Pacific rim gastronomy is the flavor of this unique place. The décor boasts a stylish zinc cylinder that houses a decadent wine bar. The Salmon in miso sauce is a favorite. Tip: You can dine at Felix without paying the high prices. Just make reservations for anytime before 7:00 p.m. and you’ll enjoy a great meal for less.

No self-respecting food critic should miss Café Deco at the Peak. Its cuisine is varied to say the least. You’ll find Indian as well as Japanese and Mexican dishes on the menu. However, everything you taste is fabulous. Try the Curry flavored duck.

A must for all visitors is Hutong. Its panoramic vistas make the long wait for a table worthwhile. The best of the house include soft shell crabs and pig’s throat prepared in a cilantro mix. It sounds somewhat non-appetizing but it’s the rave of everyone who’s tried it.

For fabulous Chinese cuisine, visit Palate. They’re known for the fresh salmon cooked in miso sauce.

And of course, you can’t enjoy dining in Hong Kong without sampling the best dim sum at Maxim’s Place.

Thai Basil offers a combination of both Vietnamese and Thai dishes as well as home-style cooking. The Vietnamese style noodle soup is top on the list of preferred dishes.
