Promising ‘a modern approach to Chinese cuisine’, Mott 32 pays homage to 32 Mott Street in New York, where the city’s first Chinese convenience store opened in 1891. It is one of the best dining experiences in Hong Kong, and its dim sum is stunning. Must-tries include the Australian wagyu beef puff and the South Australian scallop, garoupa, caviar and gold leaf, and egg white dumplings.

When it comes to buffets, go big or go home! But there’s no point going big if it compromises quality. The Food Gallery at The Langham satisfies (and then some) on both fronts! It’s here you can feast on all your favourites from the sea, an array of international delicacies, and decadent desserts hand-crafted by a team of pastry chefs.

There is an often-overlooked facet of Hong Kong’s gourmet reputation — its humble street food. This is where you can find some of the richest, unforgettable food experiences. It’s difficult to pinpoint the “best” when the options are seemingly endless, but we do recommend trying Cheung fun (rice noodle rolls) at Hop Yik Tai, and egg tarts at Tai Cheong Bakery.
