Tatler Dining Guide - Hong Kong
LIMEWOOD
If you’re looking for a satisfying bite after a day at the beach on Repulse Bay, Limewood is a popular destination, serving up contemporary fare inspired by island nations around the world. The main dining area includes a variety of comfortable seating options, although guests may visit the bar next door for more casual nibbles and drinks; the coveted tables are the ones out front at the large open windows, particularly desirable when the weather is good, and best for enjoying the beachside view at sunset. Come with an appetite—the 48-hour charred beef ribs are fulfilling with forktender meat expertly marinated with a mango-infused barbecue sauce; and the whole roasted freerange jerked chicken is also a crowd favourite, with its meat remaining tender and juicy. The refreshing compressed watermelon suits a hot summer’s day, tossed with
Thai basil, toasted peanuts, mint, cherry tomato and radish. The wine selection is concise with a good variety available by the glass, carafe, and bottle, while the cocktail menu is filled with tropical libations. Friendly servers reflect an equally casual demeanour to the restaurant’s beachside locale, and while they are able to provide recommendations when prompted, it is sometimes difficult to get their attention.
