Best Restaurants in Hong Kong (2026)

Eating well in Hong Kong does not have to be expensive. Some of the city's best-known dishes come from small specialists: roast goose at Kam's Roast Goose in Wan Chai and Yat Lok in Central, both holders of a Michelin star, wonton noodles at Mak's Noodle on Wellington Street and beef brisket noodles at Kau Kee on Gough Street. Tim Ho Wan in Sham Shui Po serves inexpensive dim sum from early morning, while City Hall Maxim's Palace offers the classic experience of a large dim sum hall with harbour views.

At the top end, The Chairman is one of the most celebrated Cantonese restaurants in Asia, and tables are booked months ahead. Mott 32 is known for its applewood-roasted Peking duck in a dramatic basement setting, Ho Lee Fook brings playful Cantonese cooking to Elgin Street, and Yardbird in Sheung Wan grills local chicken over charcoal. Small specialist shops often have queues and some accept only cash, so go early or mid-afternoon and carry small notes. For popular dinner restaurants, book as far ahead as you can, and remember that many restaurants add a service charge to the bill.
