Look beyond the plate and enjoy great food with glorious vistas of the city

Hong Kong, with its juxtaposition of a modern cityscape and age-old traditions, offers a diverse range of experiences that leave an indelible mark. There is, however, a unique category that pairs the city's gourmet offerings with stunning views.

From the twinkling lights of Victoria Harbour to the expansive mountain, sea or urban landscape, these dining spots—often perched high above or strategically positioned along the harbour—offer the best of both worlds.

Ahead, we share some of Hong Kong's top restaurants that serve up both visual and culinary feasts.
