From a tea-paired Cantonese tasting menu at Ming Court to a caviar-led buffet at Regent, discover Hong Kong’s top menus from Tatler Best Spotlight venues this August
Hong Kong’s recent weather has left us feeling grey. Luckily, the city’s dining scene is cooking up a series of experiences designed to brighten your day. This week, we turn to seafood-led summer menus and weekly dining series that put the beat back into your routine as we pray for sunnier days ahead.
Some restaurants refresh their menus according to the season, swapping ingredients for summer harvests and fresh, local catches, while one venue hone in on the potential of Chinese teas as a pairing with Cantonese plates. Expect brighter flavours, vibrant presentations and something decidedly more cheerful to hold you over until the weekend.

Regent Hong Kong’s buffet restaurant Harbourside is serving a seafood-led spread that highlights jet-fresh catches, cured delicacies and a selection of hot plates that brims with oceanic flavours. The star of the spread is Baerii caviar, a type of roe harvested from the Siberian sturgeon that is briny, savoury and bears a coppery bronze hue. Guests can savour this priced ingredient across 16 pairing dishes, from light starters such as hamachi tartare and lobster tartare tartlet to heartier plates like poached lobster in Champagne caviar sauce and caviar-topped suckling pig. The roe also finds its way onto desserts, adding a touch of umami to buffalo milk ice cream with extra virgin olive oil and chocolate tonka bean ganache tart.
The buffet is available until August 23 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for dinner from HK$1,198 per person.
