Whether you’re looking for a fun cooking class<\/a>, celebratory meal under the stars, or just a unique dining experience<\/a> in a laid-back hideaway, the best private kitchens in Hong Kong have you covered.<\/p>\n

Secret’s out! We\u2019ve found Hong Kong’s best private kitchens<\/h2>\n

1. Le Chefeteria<\/h3>\n

Crowned the “Favourite Private Kitchen” by Hong Kong Restaurant Week for two editions in a row, Le Chefeteria is one of the best known secrets in Hong Kong. Led by French-trained Balinese Chef Azmi Arialda, this private kitchen has earned rave reviews for its bold flavours, showcased in a menu that celebrates local ingredients and multicultural influences. We especially admire Le Chefeteria’s “slow food” philosophy: not only does the team create breads and stocks from scratch, they also try to deliver healthier dishes without sacrificing taste. By substituting butter, cream, and cheese with avocado, milk, and coconut milk, on top of using plentiful Southeast Asian herbs and spices (especially the lemon), Chef Azmi’s artisanal recipes always give a distinct tropical tang that make us crave for more. While the menus change from time to time, do check if the signature Duck Leg Confit Risotto; Coconut Husk Smoked Beef Tenderloin; and our favourite Lobster Bisque are available. Finally, note that in order to dine at this private kitchen, you first need to become a member \u2013 simply fill out a membership application form upon entry. Easy!<\/p>\n
