The Diplomat
Accessed through a discreet doorway, this speakeasy balances understated playfulness with a sharp, American-leaning food and cocktail programme. The not-so-classic wagyu patty cheeseburger, served with pickles, is a safe bet for a first visit, while the much-loved fish sando – built around a whole sole fillet – rewards the more adventurous. Drinks riff on historical figures too, including the Tarling, a revived 20th-century cocktail starring pandan-infused gin and coconut water.

Morty’s Delicatessen
With its red-tiled façade and retro furnishings, Morty’s channels a New York deli sensibility, where skinny fries and generously filled sandwiches pull no punches. The classic pastrami is hard to resist – house-smoked meat piled high between mustard-slicked slices of the deli’s own sourdough. Skip plain fries in favour of tangy coleslaw or a poutine, slicked with gravy and melting cheese curds. There are add-ons of smoked meat and fish too, from bacon and turkey to salmon, best paired with a craft beer tasting flight.

Jade
An import from The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, Jade leans into its Cantonese roots, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that look out across Hong Kong’s southern coast, once dotted with fishing villages. That heritage carries through the menu, with sustainably sourced seafood and a refined dim sum selection, from black-truffle vegetable dumplings to crab-filled spring rolls and steamed buns with Chinese preserved sausage. A dedicated halal menu features dishes such as hot-and-sour soup with fish maw and deep-fried spotted garoupa.

Cafe Lagoon
The outdoor barbecue stations are the undisputed draw at this buffet restaurant inside the Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel, where lamb racks, crisp-skinned suckling pig, tiger prawns and corn on the cob are grilled. Beyond the al fresco action, you’ll also find buffet staples – from cut-to-order sashimi and iced shellfish to cooked seafood, curries, salads, breads and a tempting lineup of bite-sized cakes. With modern interiors and palms swaying overhead, the mood stays easy, breezy and refreshingly unpretentious.
