Figuring out what to eat in Hong Kong? Here are some extensive lists that you can refer to.

Local Hong Kong Food

For a start, here’s a list of 40 Hong Kong Food that we can’t live without. We can never have enough of barbecued pork, Hong Kong-style French toast and traditional Dim Sum. If you are up for it, give stinky tofu or snake soup a try too! If you prefer to pick restaurants by reading customers’ reviews, a great resource would be OpenRice, a popular food and restaurant guide that locals use in Hong Kong.

Fine Dining

Whether you are on the hunt for award-winning cuisines or simply looking for an upscale restaurant for a romantic dinner, we’ve got it covered in our picks of the best Hong Kong fine dining restaurants.

Hong Kong Desserts

Vegetarian Food

Meat-free meals in Hong Kong? No worries. Here are two comprehensive lists by Foodie and Happy Cow.

Gluten-Free Meals
