Looking for more lunch venue inspiration? Here are some of our favourites!
#1 COBO House
You might remember COBO House from our Instagram – this restaurant grows its own greens on a rooftop garden just near HKU and around the corner from the MTR. It’s got a cute outdoor area that is pet-friendly.
#2 Coconuts Thai Bar & Grill
Shake off the city and head to Deepwater Bay for a cheeky mid-week swim and some holiday vibes at Coconuts Thai Bar & Grill.
#3 Din Tai Fung
Dumpling craving? Head straight to Din Tai Fung and order some xiao long bao. Branches at Causeway Bay, Canton Road TST, Nathan Road TST and Shatin.
#4 DiVino
This Italian favourite on Wyndham Street does a good-value set lunch – perfect for business or pleasure.
#5 Dot Cod
Tucked in the basement of the Prince’s Building, this seafood restaurant offers a set lunch and is often packed with regulars. Book to be sure you get a seat.
#6 Fini’s
Another solid Italian choice, with venues in Wan Chai and Soho, Fini’s does a good buffet lunch.
#7 Frank’s
There are two levels at Frank’s on Wyndham Street: the ground floor for a quick lunch at only $98, or on the first floor for a more decadent menu.
#8 Gaylord Indian Restaurant
This is a Michelin-recommended venue that offers authentic Indian food.
#9 Gough’s on Gough
Feeling homesick? Head to Gough’s on Gough in Central for some great British fare. There’s a set lunch with a choice of two or three courses.
#10 Le Pain Quotidien
We are big fans of Le Pain Quotidien at Expat Living. The chain has a few locations across the city, including Pacific Place and TST, with a beautiful ethos and gorgeous, fresh, healthy food to match.
#11 Nood
Want to keep it healthy? Try swinging past Nood, or dining in at Pacific Place, Star Street, Kinwick Centre or Lincoln House.
#12 Octavium
This is an impressive Michelin-starred option for a business or social lunch in Central.
#13 Trattoria del Pescatore
If you’re looking for lunch down Sheung Wan way, try Trattoria del Pescatore, just off Hollywood Road. Choose from a two or three course set lunch.
#14 Veda
Lunching with a vegetarian friend? Head straight to Veda on Arbuthnot Road.
