Crown Wine Cellars
The WWII bunkers on the hill have been transformed into a top-notch wine cellar, with a colonial-style glasshouse restaurant surrounded by towering trees. You can tour the site and have a meal there by subscribing to the one-time ‘silver’ membership free of charge. Take minibus 5 on Lockhart Rd, right behind Sogo department store in Causeway Bay, and make a stop at the top of Deep Water Bay Dr.

Press Room
Occupying the former address of Hong Kong’s longest-running newspaper, Hua Qiao Daily, this bistro serves decent food that, unfortunately, is accompanied by impersonal service and mediocre acoustics. We prefer its sibling next door, Classified the Cheese Room (108 Hollywood Rd), where you can sample over 20 kinds of fromage in a state-of-the-art ageing room (cheese platter from $150) before deciding which go best with your red.

Sens & Bund
It probably won't make your list if you're in town for no more than a couple of days, but this outpost of the celebrated Pourcel twins' culinary empire is popular with visiting businessmen and moneyed locals. French chefs Jacques and Laurent remain true to form in Shanghai, combining local ingredients with time-tested southern French techniques. The seared foie gras and turbot with vanilla scented potato and baby artichokes will hit the spot.

Red Tavern
The former chef of Pierrot at the Mandarin Oriental is serving up set meals of fine European fare for a third of the price and a fraction of the stuffiness at this atmospheric little place. There’s no corkage and the range of stemware is impressive. Get a table by the door for maximum ceiling height.

Vineyard Cafe
Famed for its full-on English breakfasts and excellent pizza, this popular and relaxing hútòng cafe is perfect for lunch after seeing the nearby Lama Temple or as a civilised choice for dinner or drinks.

Mosto
Patronised by the staff from nearby embassies and the ladies-who-lunch crowd, Mosto serves up solid, well-presented dishes with a vaguely Mediterranean theme. There’s a good wine list, excellent desserts and attractive set-lunch deals.

Wilber's
Hidden away on the edge of Yuèxiù district, Wilber's gets top marks for atmosphere and the food is not far behind. It's housed in an elegantly restored colonial villa with whitewashed walls and a leafy patio. Beautiful urbanites love having an alfresco lunch or sundowners here, and Wilber's sometimes turns into an indoor, gay-friendly drinking den.
