FISH & MEAT

Fish & Meat led the pack a few years back when Hong Kong was awash with a new wave of industrially furnished dining spaces—and it continues to pull its weight when it comes to its roster of comfort food and quality cocktails. Situated on the slope of Wyndham Street, this spacious restaurant is generously decked out in a recognisable melange of concrete, wood and white brickwork that screams contemporary metropolitan dining—the terrace is often packed with happy hour revellers. Chef Russell Doctrove’s confident modern European cooking gives rise to cult favourites such as duck egg raviolo with fresh ricotta cream, black truffle and burnt sage butter, or a glorious hunk of 24-hour slow-cooked beef rib glazed with bourbon and paired with charred sweetcorn and crispy shallots. As expected for a restaurant under the Maximal Concepts umbrella, the drinks programme is solid; particularly when it comes to quirky cocktails like the Farm House Jam (vodka, homemade blueberry thyme jam, prosecco) and the well-curated wine list full of by-the-glass options. Service is genuine and upbeat.
