Din Tai Fung
From an Indagare insider based in Hong Kong: “Din Tai Fung, the Taiwanese chain located inside the Delay No Mall in Causeway Bay, serves seriously good soup dumplings, and the ambience feels very local.”
Destination: China: Hong Kong

China Tee Club
Weary shoppers and the occasional Hong Kong movie star seek refuge at this charming, colonial-style café, located on the Pedder Building’s first floor. The lunch menu is a Western and Asian medley with dishes like spinach and feta wontons and tempura soft shell crab while those doing afternoon tea can choose between a British set or a more traditional one where dim sum replaces scones and jam.
TIP: You can book online.
Dickens Bar
An old favorite pub, going strong after twenty years, making it a bewhiskered veteran in Hong Kong hospitality terms, is the Dickens Bar, in the basement of the Excelsior Hotel in Causeway Bay. Its menu has fish-and-chips, bangers-and-mash, shepherd’s pie and the other quintessentially English culinary staple, curry. The lunchtime curry buffet is the best in town.
Press Room
A favorite of Louise Kou.
“Press Room is a classic Parisian café in the heart of Hong Kong. I love to go here for brunch, then gallery-hopping Hollywood Road.”
