: ) any more nice places? i have a budget of around 500 per person thanks! |
Mandarin Oriental's set dinner for 2 was fine, tiny neat, beautifully displayed, precious-looking morsels served on great white flying saucers for plates. But when we were there on a weekday, boyyy... was the place near empty! Think the roaring price for a bottle of red there had something to do with it (dunno as didn't set eyes on the tab).
Don't go up there that often, but for something a little less refined / rarefied (?), maybe 'Cafe Deco', up on The Peak, will do. It may be over-popular, so crowded and a touch noisy, with lots of tourists, so NOT exactly 'romantic'... BUT if you book a little table on the balcony/verandah, you'll have a nice, longish view out... Err, that is, if that blurry 'haze', shadowing HK, isn't hovering so close (like it tends to do most of the damp season).
Anyways, Cafe Deco's sorta high ceilinged airy, vibe: OK-stylish, food's reasonably proportioned, well-presented, AND, most importantly, the reds flow aplenty for not-TOO-outrageous a price... And with the recent reduction in alc. duty, may be even better now... (fingers crossed)
