A fantastic combination of harbourside views, innovative Asian cuisine, colourful counters and abstract art await at the bright and airy Café on the 1st, which sits on the first floor of The Excelsior Hotel. Diners can choose from a variety of options, be it a big buffet or an afternoon tea, a lingering lunch or a quick coffee. Putting an Asian spin on most of the international dishes, you can find classics like Hainan chicken rice alongside nasi goreng and miso cod with bonito flakes. Café on the 1st bakes at least 20 different desserts fresh every single day, so do your best to try them all – particularly the raspberry chocolate truffle cake.
