www.lecomptoir.hk/piqniq A delightful rooftop bar with a quirky vibe that’s enhanced by the signature Yayoi Kusama pumpkin centrepiece, Piqniq has become the rightful hangout for the city’s art set and social butterflies. Colourful beanbags, lush greenery and smooth decking gives the bar a slight Copacabana vibe, though it’s described by its creators as a guinguette—a reference to the lively suburban French taverns where drinks flowed freely and dancing was not uncommon. The drinks list is suitably unfussy as a result, with more beers and easydrinking wines than complicated cocktails. Here, it’s Aperol Spritz all the way—it’s even available on tap, and by the jugful. They also serve a pricy A4 Miyazaki wagyu beef katsu sando, though the piqniq baskets filled with light bites such as green mango salad and leek quiche are better bets.
