9 Best Romantic Restaurants in Hong Kong

Pierre is a 2-Michelin-starred restaurant on the 25th floor of  Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong. It has all the requirements of a romantic restaurant, thanks to views over Victoria Harbour and reimagined French cuisine by renowned Chef Pierre Gagnaire. 

A meal at Pierre is one of the most remarkable dining experiences money can buy. The chef's signature style intensifies the flavours and textures of traditional French dishes. While he's not in the kitchen on a daily basis, his vision is as strong as ever, with seasonal menus to reflect the freshest ingredients and Hong Kong’s seasons. 

Amber at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental is an award-winning restaurant in Central Hong Kong. With renowned Dutch chef Richard Ekkebus leading its culinary team, expect an extensive menu of fantastically plated dishes using high-quality ingredients and minimal seasoning.

The restaurant offers an ala carte menu that’s usually popular with regulars, but opt for the degustation menus (prices start from HK$1,788) if you’re here for the first time.

208 Duecento Otto has been a mainstay of the Shueng Wan dining scene for many years. With a downstairs bar and a cosy-yet-cool upstairs bistro, the restaurant is known for its fantastic Neapolitan pizzas, along with a range of classic and signature recipes.

The intriguing appetisers and light bites are also outstanding – cured meats and Italian cheeses are prominently featured on the menu. You can also enjoy a roasted lamb rack or slow-braised ossobuco if you want the complete Italian dining experience.

Tin Lung Heen at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong serves excellent dim sum from 102 floors above the ground. In fact, for the cost of a few drinks at the hotel’s adjacent Ozone bar, you can enjoy a fantastic lunch. This restaurant was awarded 2 Michelin stars for the exquisite balancing of flavours.

Dinner at Tin Lung Heen is a sophisticated (and pricey) affair – its Michelin Degustation Menu costs HK$1,928 per person. You can also order from an a la carte menu, which consists of delicacies like baked cod fish with cheese, braised superior bird’s nest, and pan-fried Kurobuta pork with foie gras and onion. 

The Pawn Hong Kong occupies a late-1880s building in Wan Chai, with a restaurant and bar concept across 2 floors. The al fresco dining space is one of the best spots to enjoy views of Hong Kong Island.

The food menu covers a good range of rustic-style dishes – appetisers include homemade sourdough rosetta, sashimi, and Hokkaido squid, while mains range from pasta, USDA steaks, and seafood dishes. After dinner, head downstairs with your date to enjoy some fine cocktails or speciality gins at The Pawn Botanicals Bar. 

One Harbour Road at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong takes classic Cantonese dishes and delivers them in a home-cooked style. Expect world-class delicacies including crab claw, wagyu beef and abalone. 

The idea is to allow the inherent flavours to shine through. This means you won’t find molecular foam or dry ice steaming off the plate. Set lunches at One Harbour Road start from HK$600, while the signature dinner set menu costs around HK$1,068 (additional HK$550 with wine pairing).

Rooftop views and prime Aussie steaks make Wooloomooloo Steakhouse a sure-fire success. The dining room is decked out in leather and dark wood, while the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows can only be topped by taking a digestif out on the Wooloomooloo Steakhouse Rooftop Lounge.

Enjoy a huge range of premium cuts on the a la carte menu, or opt for the 2-course deal (HK$138–HK$168) on weekdays. You can find the second outlet of Wooloomooo Steakhouse on the waterfront promenade of Tsim Sha Tsui East.

Yardbird is an award-winning restaurant run by a group of talented young chefs from North America. The menu consists of creative western/Japanese yakitori presented in stylish inventive portions. 

A full range of chicken cuts are available and all heavily seasoned, but done with a skill for fantastic results. Located in SoHo, Yardbird is about 350 metres west of the Sheung Wan MRT station. Thanks to its izakaya-style setting, it's popular among couples looking to enjoy a casual date in Hong Kong. 

Mott 32 is an upmarket restaurant that specialises in Peking duck, barbecue pork, and roast goose. The dining room is very stylish and modern, featuring a custom-designed duck oven in the centre, so you can be assured of the quality and succulence.

A convenient point about the menu at Mott 32 is that the dim sum menu is available in the evening, not just for breakfast or lunch (as is the norm in Hong Kong). If you're planning to have the Peking duck at Mott 32, you need book a table in advance as the process of preparing the dish takes 48 hours.
