The rise of the private kitchen has been one of the most exciting things to happen to Hong Kong’s dining landscape over the past few years. Stymied by high rents and tough government restrictions on restaurants, talented chefs have rented commercial units, transformed them into home-like spaces and run them as private clubs, offering top-quality and reasonably priced food to delighted diners. But if you’ve already been to the well-known favorites, such as Magnolia in Sheung Wan and Le Blanc in Wan Chai, take a look at these up-and-comers. Their talented founders have brought their culture and their foodie expertise to the private-kitchen scene, enriching it for the better. Whether you’re looking for French home-style comfort food, rustic Italian or even Turkish-Indonesian, you’ll find it here.
