There’s no mistaking the nationality of this place—the soft green walls, hanging posters, tiled floors and placemats on the table all proudly scream “Francais.” Saint-Germain (no doubt named after the eponymous district in Paris) is opened by the same folks behind heavy-hitter Pastis on Wyndham Street, and is just as full of Parisian charm as its sister outlet.

There are two indoor playrooms at the Wong Nai Chung Complex in Happy Valley. One of the play areas caters for kids under 4, the other for 4- to 9-year-olds. The best thing about this government playroom is that it’s completely free of charge, and there is no need to schedule or register your child.
