The Best New Restaurants In Hong Kong: November, 2024

Landau’s

Named after the Landau family, who opened Jimmy’s Kitchen, this new concept carries its legacy to Wan Chai with its own modern take on European cuisine. Headed by Hong Kong-born Executive Chef Russell Doctrove, Landau comprises two distinct dining areas: the Bar & Grill for casual hangouts and the Dining Room (opening later in December) for more intimate meals. Each section will serve its own curated menu, crafted from fresh, high-quality ingredients.

Opening hours: Daily, 11:30am to 2:30pm and 6pm to 11pm (dining room); 11:30am to 11:30pm (bar & grill)

Qué Pasa Tapas y Vino

We’re always curious to see what new eateries have popped up around Tai Hang, and the latest talk of the town is Qué Pasa, a new tapas and wine bar by Deadly Rabbits Concepts. The 70-seat restaurant has plenty of room for large groups looking to sip on sangrias and share some small plates.

Sassy Tip: Drop in between 3pm and 6pm for La Siesta Hour to enjoy a wide selection of wines, beers, cocktails and $48 tapas.

Opening hours: Monday to Thursday, 11:30am to 11pm; Friday, 11:30am to midnight; Saturday, 11am to midnight; Sunday, 11am to 11pm

1862 Bar de Tapas y Vino

That’s right, we’ve got another tapas spot for you to try. This one can be found in Tai Kwun, through round arched doors. Expect a menu of modern tapas, featuring the 1862 Corn Ribs and Galician Octopus with Rioja chilli sauce, alongside more familiar classics. The cosy den-like space spans 2,000 square feet with an open kitchen where chefs can interact with the guests sitting at the bar.

Opening hours: Daily, 12pm to 10pm

Ship Kee Relocates To Hopewell Centre

The recently crowned Michelin Bib Gourmand Ship Kee has moved to a new twice-as-spacious, nautical-inspired location in Wan Chai’s Hopewell Centre where it continues to serve handcrafted Cantonese classics that pay tribute to China’s maritime heritage. New additions to the menu include the Chaoshan Seafood Claypot Congee, and Chicken Oil & Pigeon Claypot Rice (perfect for the winter months ahead. The Typhoon Shelter-Style Fried Prawns were also a hit!). Of course, when we went we still had to order a plate of Ship Kee’s signature Honey Glazed Barbecued Pork.

Opening hours: Daily, 11am to 3:45pm and 6pm to 11pm

Ship Kee, 6/F, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, 2893 9688, www.epicurean.com.hk/restaurant/ship-kee

New Restaurant Openings You Might Have Missed

Samsen Opens Third Location In Central

We’re sure you’ve heard about the opening of Samsen’s third outlet on On Lan Street. Like with the Wan Chai branch,  you’ll have to queue up for a seat, but we’re sure the wait is worth trying the new dishes at least. Try the Crispy Omelette of Baby Oysters & Spring Onions, Stir-Fried Live Flower Clams with Samsen Chili Jam, alongside new salads and desserts exclusive to the Central location. Best suited for small groups, the new venue channels the buzz of Bangkok’s Chinatown district, with the rustic shophouse-style decor that will make Samsen fans feel right at home.

Opening hours: Tuesday to Thursday, 6pm to 10pm; Friday and Saturday, 6pm to 11pm

Tsui Wah Opens In Lang Kwai Fong

The beloved cha chaan tang chain closed its iconic four-storey Wellington Street location and left Central partygoers in the lurch in 2020, around the height of the pandemic, but is making its grand return to Lan Kwai Fong this month (on the same day Samsen Central is opening)! The new branch will occupy a slightly smaller space in Silver Fortune Plaza, but we can expect all our favourite late-night cravings to be satiated once more!

Watermark

Offering 270-degree views of Victoria Harbour, the recently revamped Watermark sitting atop Central Pier 7 reopened for public dining earlier this month.

Opening hours: Daily, 12pm to 10pm

Behind the glass display, you’ll find the artisanal bakery’s famous Sourdough Egg Tarts alongside three new items exclusive to the Tung Chung branch: Milk Tea Honey Toast Danish, Tai O Umami Roll and Tiramisu Soft Serve. If you ask us that’s enough to justify the half-hour train ride from Central!
