On Hong Kong Island, City Hall Maxim’s Palace is a favourite place for locals and visitors alike to find trolley-service dim sum (one of the few – and the best) eateries to still offer the service.
Showcasing traditional Cantonese cuisine and dim sum, with the stunning Victoria Harbour as a backdrop, there is no more quintessential Hong Kong experience than this.
Cococabana will put clients in a Mediterranean mood, albeit with views of the South China Sea and surrounded by the hills of Shek O Country Park. The restaurant maintains a friendly village feeling and offers simple, fresh seafood dishes such as grilled sea bream, peri-peri prawns and bouillabaisse.
It is worth recommending Kennedy Town to clients who enjoy a fresh sea breeze – this collection of small independent restaurants and shops is at one end of a modern waterfront walkway that extends 10 kilometres across Hong Kong Island all the way to Tin Hau. A popular highlight is Fish & Chick, specialising in British-style beer battered fish and French-style rotisserie chicken – this can be eaten in or taken to the nearby sitting-out area for even more seaside vibes.
Stanley, on the southern peninsula of Hong Kong Island, is a popular place to have a relaxed day on the beach. It is also home to Pane e Latta, an Italian bakery, café and gelateria. Here visitors can choose a gelato sundae, macchiato or one of the carefully crafted in-house pastries.
