Thai Lemongrass
This quiet, discreet and very smart place serves up such treats as pomelo salad, spicy green papaya salad and mussels in red curry. It is Thai food with a lot of style and a price to match, but it is worth the bucks.

Chilli N Spice
A branch of the ever-growing chain - nine branches at last count - has found its way into Hong Kong's oldest (reconstructed) colonial building. Expect no surprises, but the venue and views are worth a ringside table.

Heichinrou
This stylish Cantonese restaurant is arguably the most elegant eatery in what makes up the four-level Food Forum (floors 10 to 13) in the Times Square shopping mall. The dim sum (around HK$16 to HK$45) is excellent.

Tomokazu
One of the longest running Japanese haunts in town, this restaurant, considering its location and well-prepared Japanese food, is a bargain. It's also the place to go for a fix of noodles or sushi in the wee hours.

Steak Expert
OK, so it's part of a chain. But the steaks are excellent value for what they serve, and this branch is in the heart of Wan Chai and keeps very long (and relatively late) hours. Just watch out for the pepper sauce.

Nang Kee Goose Restaurant
Sham Tseng has long been famous for roast goose, and this 50-year-old place is the most-visited restaurant in the area. Savour the crispy skin and succulent meat with some beer, and there can be no complaint.

Lardos Steak House
If you’re in Tseung Kwan O, this tiny steakhouse owned by a seasoned meat supplier is your best option for a meal. The succulent chunks of meat are attractively priced ($239 for a 16-oz T-bone steak).

Carrianna Chiu Chow Restaurant
For Chiu Chow food, the Carrianna still rates very high after all these years. Try the cold dishes (sliced goose with vinegar, crab claws), pork with tofu or Chiu Chow-style chicken. Enter from Tonnochy Rd.

Harbourside in the same hotel, has great pizzas, Western and Asian dishes and a popular Sunday brunch (noon to 2.30pm).

At this legendary shop, noodles are made the traditional way with a bamboo pole and served perched on a spoon placed over the bowl so they won’t go soggy. The beef brisket noodles are equally remarkable.
