Our five best new Hong Kong restaurants of 2017 ... so far
Some Chinese surprises, superb Scandinavian fare, classic French dishes and a Japanese crab feast – our most memorable new culinary experiences of the past half year
Restaurants open in Hong Kong at a furious pace, and some make a more memorable impression than others.
We always give new places a few months to settle down and iron out any teething problems before giving SCMP.com readers our considered opinion of what they have to offer. With the year a bit more than half over, we had a think about which newcomers have impressed us most.
Here, in no particular order, are the five best new Hong Kong restaurants we’ve tried in the first six months of 2017.
Our only complaint about this Central newcomer was that our table was too small to fit everything we wanted to eat. We tried their noodles, of course - the minced pork and shrimp roe lo mein was really delicious - and were impressed with the US bone-in short ribs cooked sous-vide for 12 hours, and the wood oven whole Peking duck, recommended by a very picky friend. Take a few friends if you want to make the most of what this restaurant has to offer.
