The Most Romantic Restaurants In Hong Kong

by Vogue Hong Kong

While relationships come and go, only one thing is for certain: nothing beats a romantic dinner date. When the lights are dim, candles are flickering, and jazz music is playing, everything else fades away, leaving only you and your date in the moment. However, a truly magical experience depends on creating the right atmosphere. Exquisite food, a sublime setting, and a decadent dessert or fine wine are essential for an unforgettable evening. So, if you’re in a bit of a pickle in choosing the setting for the ideal date night, we’ve got you covered. Here is a list of the most romantic restaurants in town for your next Lady and the Tramp moment.

LPM

Step into La Petite Maison, and you’re no longer in Hong Kong. Welcome to the French Riviera. LPM is an expert at natural and fresh ingredients: sun-soaked artichokes, olives, courgettes, and tomatoes, the finest the Mediterranean has to offer. Order its famous escargot, rib-eye steak and yellowtail carpaccio with guacamole and citrus dressing, and the French coastline is just within your reach. To seal the deal, get drunk in love with their excellent selection of rosés and cocktails like their famous tomatini.

LALA

Everyone knows Paris is the City of Love, but not everyone is able to capture the taste of romance like LALA does. Michelin-starred Chef Franckelie Laloum curates the perfect Parisian dining experience, featuring signature dishes like their renowned roasted chicken, steak tartare and angus beef tenderloin flambé. But why limit the romance to nighttime? Their seasoned pastry chef Natalie Leung is delivering a series of classic French pastries and tarts that will bring a touch of sweetness any time of the day.

Té Bo

If Té Bo’s interiors and dinnerware aren’t enough to convince you that it’s one of the most romantic restaurants around, then let their food do the talking. Helmed by Chef Sebastian Lorenzi, this Michelin-starred gem reimagines European cuisine with bold Asian influences. Each dish is meticulously plated and decorated like a work of art, like the three yellow chicken cromesquis or the wagyu beef cheek with foie gras ravioli. Complete your meal with their expertly curated wine selection, and indulge in a truly unforgettable culinary experience.

Qura

Experience a taste of heaven at Regent Hong Kong’s restaurant bar Qura, where you can eat and drink the night away at their Art Deco inspired lounge. Delight in their flavourful red prawn spaghetti or perfectly cooked lamb rack. But the real standout is their curated selection of cocktails, each inspired by philosophy and nature. The cherry on top? A stunning view of Victoria Harbour.

Rêveri

Tucked away in a quiet corner of bustling Sheung Wan, Rêveri reimagines Japanese cuisine with French techniques.

Racines

Racines, meaning “roots” in French, is Chef Romain Dupeyre’s heartfelt homage to his hometown of Nice. Drawing from the culinary traditions of Southern France, Dupeyre finds inspiration in the cherished recipes of his grandmother. How can you get more romantic than that? Each course menu highlights and combines different flavours of French cuisine: enjoy a range of classics like lamb, pigeon and mackerel decorated with fresh Mediterranean ingredients like olives, tomatoes, basil, apricot and peaches.
