1. Chiu Ka Banquet
Located in Sheung Wan, Chiu Ka Banquet offers a delightful journey into Chiuchow cuisine. The restaurant, which used to be a private club, now specializes in home-style cooking2. Highlights include the creamy pork tripe soup with salted mustard greens and peppercorns, and the robustly flavored braised goose in spiced soy marinade. Don’t forget to ask about the catch of the day and consider pre-ordering dried seafood like abalone and fish.
2. Juno
Nestled in the bustling Sheung Wan district, Juno is an Italian-Mediterranean restaurant that brings a touch of southern Europe to Hong Kong. Chef Jordi Vallés Claverol crafts a concise menu inspired by the sunny coasts of Spain and Italy4.

The restaurant’s calming atmosphere and convenient location make it a perfect escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.
3. Teppanyaki Mihara Goten
