After stints in the Lan Kwai Fong Tower, the World Trade Centre and Miramar Shopping Centre, Tony Roma’s Times Square branch is the last man standing. A departure from previous endeavors, this branch glows with sophistication and style. Curved sofa booths line up neatly on one side and in the...

Entering this restaurant is an impressive experience: walking down the majestically designed hallway adorned with exquisite glasswork and a subtle, flowing fountain, you know you are in a five-star restaurant. Like neighboring Lumiere, Cuisine Cuisine belongs to the Miramar Hotel group. The menu is...

Judging by the hanging sign with Chinese characters traced out in fluorescent tubing, one imagines Flower Trump to offer traditional Chinese banquet dining. Step inside, however, and you’ll find a modern, minimalist haven with gray sofas and streamlined, dark-wood tables. The menu offers...

For once, the name of a restaurant is spot on: King’s Palace really does serve food fit for a king. There’s nothing elaborate on the menu, just traditional noodles and congee, and roast dishes served with rice or noodles. Although serving “grassroots food,” it provides a...

The funky decor and offbeat lighting that met us at the door had us wondering if this is indeed a restaurant or something more.

Designed by local Tan Diep as a bar, cafe and fine dining spot, Illy overlooks the hustle and bustle of Lan Kwai Fong.

There are branches of this panini bar in Milan - where it serves some of the city's most famous grilled sandwiches - and New York, where it's a foodies' favorite.

Situated on Tai Koo Shing's waterfront, Ryo-Italia has splendid views of the harbor and east Kowloon. Decked out in Italy's national colors and featuring a blackboard menu and landscape paintings, the restaurant feel athenticaly Italian. On closer inspection, more international elements emerge; the...

On first impression this seems like any other mall-style Korean restaurant, with its traditional wall paintings and patterns adorning the walls and glass side panels, but don't be fooled. The food is excellent and the service couldn't be more eager and on-the-spot without being intrusive. Hidden...
