If you plan to visit popular restaurants, it’s best to book your table in advance. Many pubs and wineries are located in Tsim Sha Tsui and Central, but if you want to taste more local cuisines or try to eat street food at a Dai Pai Dong, the Temple Street Night Market is also a great place to explore.

Extending the cultural ambience to dinner is also viable! Here is a list of the best restaurants in town with exquisite artworks on walls that rival local galleries, as recommended by Time Out Hong Kong.

Other than that, nearly everywhere in Hong Kong has countless dining options—Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and regional Chinese cuisines… The only advice we give is not to make your decision too quickly! There might be another restaurant you’ll discover right around the corner. Click here to see the full dining guide provided by the Hong Kong Tourism Board.

Most restaurants add a 10-percent service charge to the bill, and usually accept credit card payments. To be safe, you always can check with the waiter before being seated.

After a day of exciting programmes and rewarding conversations, what else do you need other than a big comfy bed? HKPAX has formed partnership with a series of hotels with different ranges of discounted rates for you to choose. Please book your accommodation through the hotels’ respective reservation links.
