Our top picks for fine dining restaurants in Hong Kong

Affordable favourites: Value-for-money fine dining

1. 1111 Ones Restaurant & Lounge

Tucked away in an unassuming high-rise in Central is 1111 Ones, a fine dining restaurant specialising in Chinese-French cuisine. Offering incredible value for money, Chef Chris Chan dishes out stunning creations that highlight bold flavours and masterful culinary techniques. Its lunch, dinner, and seasonal menus are all ingredient-led, promising its guests the highest-quality produce. We thoroughly enjoyed dining in the cosy yet contemporary interiors of 1111 (which resembles the rustic majesty of the Arizona Desert’s Antelope Canyon), but we wish we’d reserved a space on the eight-seater counter, with prime views into the open kitchen where the magic happens.

Must-try dishes: Pigeon Wellington, Seared Duck Breast, Blood Bird’s Nest
Price range: $488 and up

2. Clarence

French cuisine gets a contemporary twist at Clarence, the stunning fine dining restaurant from Chef Olivier Elzer of L’Envol. Clarence playfully celebrates French classics using lighter Asian cooking techniques like charcoal grilling, steaming, and teppan. Your dining experience at Clarence will be lively, classy and, above all, comfortable. Its cosy interiors exude elegance and charm without coming off as pretentious, and we love popping into its adjoining speakeasy bar, La Suite, for a cocktail or two to round off the night.

Must-try dishes: Skate Wing with Endive Comte Salad, Tuna with Two Spices, Avocado Puree and Shallot Dressing, Pistachio Cream, Raspberry Coulis and Roasted Pistachios
Price range: $400 and up

3. Hansik Goo

We had our first taste of Korean fine dining in Hong Kong at Hansik Goo, a Michelin-starred establishment helmed by Chef Mingoo. We love the restaurant’s unpretentious ambience, with simplistic but elegant interiors enhanced by warm wood. The menus at Hansik Goo change seasonally, but they always stay true to authentic ingredients and techniques. In addition to the main tasting menu, you have the option to add on dishes and wine pairings. For those of you who drink, we strongly recommend you to try Chungju. This clear, refined rice wine is a rare find in Hong Kong and believe us when we say we can’t go back to soju after this!

Must-try dishes: Hweh Bibimbap, Hanwoo and Siraegi Rice, Heukyimja
Price range: $588 and up

The offerings also demonstrate a high level of commitment to using local and seasonal ingredients. Offering an exciting tasting menu, your tastebuds will never be bored as Chef Barry regularly switches it up with innovative additions. One more thing that can always be counted on at Whey is the house-made bread. Its Mi-Pau with cultured butter is almost always on the menu for good reason!

We found China Tang’s ambience incredibly immersive, with the hand-painted and hand-embroidered wallpaper, paintings, antique books, and other decorative accents elevating the overall elegance and charm of our dining experience without losing sight of authenticity. Moreover, thanks to China Tang’s strict “ingredients first” philosophy, all the dishes here are made with natural ingredients, putting the spotlight on local produce, seasonal items, and quality imports.

10. T’ang Court, The Langham Hong Kong

It’s truly a feat for T’ang Court at The Langham to be able to retain its three Michelin stars for over a decade – but it also comes as no surprise. This restaurant pays homage to the Tang Dynasty, the golden age of ancient China, not only with its lavish furnishings, but also with its deliciously authentic Cantonese dishes.

An array of eclectic flavours make up Ando’s dynamic tasting menus, which are available for lunch and dinner. Paying careful attention to sourcing the highest-quality ingredients, Ando’s team crafts their dishes with respect for tradition while pushing for innovation.

With original recipes created by the duo, they introduce you to innovative twists on classic French fare in Racines’ cosy space. We enjoyed being taken on a journey of Southern French gastronomy across six courses, and you bet we’ll return for the lunch menu next time, with options of three, four, or five courses!

Price range: $888 and up

Racines, 22 Upper Station Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, p. 5742 6539

15. Mono

When it comes time to make a reservation, long-time fans may mourn that Mono is no longer a “hidden gem” in Hong Kong ever since it has earned itself a Michelin star in 2022. That said, the certified outstanding quality of Mono is all the more reason for you to pay this intimate 30-seater a visit. Led by Chef Ricardo Chaneton, Mono offers inventive Latin American cuisine crafted with sustainably sourced or local ingredients. Groove to some Latin vinyl music while enjoying the seasonal “Soul” or “Journey” tasting menu at Mono, and check out Chef Ricardo’s Spotify playlist to keep the party going after your meal. Psst – Mono’s Signature Homemade Sourdough filled us up quickly, so be sure to save space during the meal and only buy a loaf (or two) at the Mono Boutique to take home afterwards!

While Petrus does lunch menus that fall under more accessible price ranges, we think it’s worth splurging on its full dinner tasting menus. Boasting incredible scenic views of Victoria Harbour from atop Island Shangri-La, Restaurant Petrus presents a refreshing interpretation of contemporary French cuisine. Home to over 12,000 bottles of fine vino, Restaurant Petrus’ impressive collection of wines has been honoured on its own as one of the most outstanding restaurant wine lists in the world.

Roganic is one of our firm favourites when it comes to fine dining in Hong Kong. With a focus on local and sustainable ingredients, this restaurant presents a city-centric take on a farm-to-table dining experience, offering contemporary British cooking. In 2020, Roganic Hong Kong was awarded a Michelin Green star less than 10 months after opening (impressive, we know!) as an acknowledgement of the restaurant’s efforts towards sustainability. In addition to the Green star, Roganic has also earned and maintained a Michelin star since 2022. As Chef Simon Rogan assimilates his cooking style with the local scene, it’s no surprise to see his innovative dishes bear influences of Hong Kong flavours.
