A
Verandah
A meal in the grand Verandah, run by the prestigious Peninsula, is a special occasion indeed. The large restaurant features a recently restored and refurbished interior that is literally dripping with colonial nostalgia, what with the grand piano at the entrance, the wooden fans dangling from the ceiling, and the marble staircases with wooden banisters. The Sunday brunch is famous (book ahead), and the afternoon tea the best this side of Hong Kong Island.

China Tee Club
This civilised tea house-cum-restaurant serving both Asian and Western favourites is perfect for a meal or a cuppa after finishing your shopping at Shanghai Tang or Blanc de Chine below. The food is only passable but you can't beat sipping tea or diving into laksa or Hainan chicken rice in an ambience that makes you feel like you had travelled back to 19th-century Hong Kong. Pasta and vegetarian dishes are around HK$90 to HK$105.

Post 97
Since its renovation, this all-day brasserie and café above the Fong has lost a little of that bohemian charm and become a little nondescript, but it still offers a view of the bustling Lan Kwai Fong. The all-day breakfast items such as egg benedict are still there, and new items such as detox salad are welcome additions. Weekend brunch (around HK$150) with bottomless coffee and pick-me-ups such as bloody Mary is a draw.

Towngas Avenue
This is an odd concept in a Hong Kong restaurant, where the cook is usually to be heard and not seen. This restaurant, operated by a Hong Kong gas utility, allows you to watch chefs at work through a glass screen. You get to keep the recipe of the dish(es) you order and you may even spot the cooker or fridge of your heart's desire: it's also a kitchenware showroom.

Gogo Café
East meets West for spaghetti with mentaiko (fish roe) or linguine with Chinese clams and bacon at this gentle little café-restaurant. The theme here is part Japanese teahouse, part cool café, and the light meals and home-made desserts (!) make Gogo a good place to re-energise between lunch and dinner.

Windsurfing Water Sports Centre & Café
A favourite hangout of windsurfers and divers, this place is owned by Lai Gun, uncle of the champion windsurfer Lee Lai-shan who won Olympic gold for Hong Kong in Atlanta. On a balmy afternoon, this cafe is a great spot to relax over fries ($25), fish steak ($65) and a bottle of wine ($180).

Cafe Deco
With its spectacular views and art deco– inspired furnishings, this restaurant need not have made too much effort with the menu. Yet the bistro dishes, sushi and sashimi plates, and oyster bar are above average. Brunch ($328) is served from 9.30am to noon on Sunday.

Top Deck
The weekend brunch with free-flowing champagne is the drawcard at Top Deck. The theatrical decor, resort-style awnings, and the garish Chinese pagoda on the rooftop may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it has a sun-kissed deck and the harbour views are gorgeous.

Steak House
At this first-rate steakhouse, imported beef exhilarates even without the trimmings (exotic salts and mustards, gourmet steak knives), and the salad bar ($300 per person) is a garden of delight. Harbourside in the same hotel, has great pizzas, Western and Asian dishes and a popular Sunday brunch (noon to 2.30pm).

Boathouse
All aboard for nautical overload. Salads, bruschetta and Med-inspired mains make up the bulk of the Boathouse's fleet. Steer for sea views; a table on the roof garden is something to covet.

Sauce International
This very stylish restaurant on a narrow pedestrian path in the centre of Sai Kung town has outside seating. There is a range of pasta dishes and the sticky toffee pudding is divine.

In Mo Tat Wan, a relatively remote corner of Lamma there’s a slightly upmarket Western restaurant, the Bay.
