We know the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, so when the eatery in question is also aesthetically pleasing with an intimate ambience, well, it can only mean extra points in your favour. Valentine’s Day is coming up fast, so if you have yet to make a reservation anywhere, then you need to refer to our list of Hong Kong’s most romantic restaurants.
As a foodie paradise, Hong Kong is full of top-notch restaurants and eateries, many of which are lovely spots that will set your pulse racing as you gaze across the table at your partner. From fine-dining Nordic fusion to contemporary Cantonese, there will be plenty to suit all palates. Read on to see our picks of lovey-dovey eateries, sorted by alphabetical order rather than preference.
We love two-Michelin-starred restaurant Arbor for its blush-hued interiors and curved arches that lead up to high ceilings. The whole botanic-themed, Nordic-Japanese venue is so aesthetically pleasing that pretty much all of it makes for a nice photo backdrop. Arbor’s warm tones and balcony that opens out onto Hong Kong’s cityscape all lend to its romantic vibe.
For a more cosy atmosphere, book a table at Madame Fù Grand Café Chinois – whether you’re snuggled up on one of their booth seats inside or looking down onto Tai Kwun’s main square from the verandah, the intimate ambience here is sure you get you in the mood for love. If it’s privacy and exclusivity you’re after, then you can’t go wrong with One Thirty One, a rosy-hued country home out in Sai Kung that only houses four tables inside.
Meanwhile, the one-Michelin-starred Petrus offers a lovely view of Victoria Harbour from its perch atop the Island Shangri-La, and if on the off chance the view isn’t doing it for you, then the classically opulent interior design should. Finally, you can’t talk about romantic views without mentioning the Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong in the ICC skyscraper, and our pick among its restaurants is Tosca di Angelo. The dramatic space features a fountain and large chandeliers, set against the gorgeous city skyline of Hong Kong Island right outside its floor-to-ceiling windows.
