Summer Palace

HK$850 per person

There’s no shortage of Chinese restaurants in the city, so it can be difficult for an establishment to stand out. So you’ll be pleasantly surprised at Summer Palace, where you’ll find Chinese classics from a deep-fried spring roll with a hint of truffle pesto (crisped to perfection) to a steamed garoupa fillet with a flavourful black bean sauce, all served in smart portions and with exceptional ingredients. It’s usually especially difficult to taste more than a few dishes at Chinese restaurants where portions are made for sharing, so the set dinner of six dishes provides a great way to taste the signatures without feeling too stuffed post-meal. You’ll also rarely have difficulty booking a table and can expect nothing short of five-star service by a discreet and professional waitstaff. With a grand dining hall, complete with gilded ceilings and carved wooden double-doors, it’s also a great place for families looking for an upscale yet still casual setting to celebrate a special occasion or to bring friends from overseas to experience local cuisine at its finest.
