The highlight of the October 1 National Day holiday is undoubtedly the fireworks that light up Victoria Harbour, and Regent Hong Kong provides the perfect vantage point to view them from. Each of the hotel’s restaurants offer majestic harbour views, so take your pick according to your favoured culinary experience.

In particular, Nobu Hong Kong has a seven-course fireworks dinner menu ($1,988 per person) that serves up their unique Japanese dishes blended with Peruvian influences, such as uni croquettes, roasted lobster with pineapple wakamomo ceviche salsa, and grilled A5 Wagyu with yuzu ponzu butter. The dinner can also be paired with world-class Nobu sake, exclusively brewed for the restaurant by the renowned Hokusetsu brewery in Niigata. 

Meat lovers can also choose to dine at The Steak House – featured within the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants of 2025 – for a wide selection of prime cuts off their à la carte menu.

The Rallentare blends Campari, housemade sweet vermouth, fig leaf, and hops for a refreshing respite to the heat, while Pink Walk is a mix of Campari with Calvados brandy, melon oleo saccharum, and citrus, which leans more fruity and sweet – perfect for those who normally think a Negroni is too bitter. For the serious cocktail lovers, there’s also the Settebello, boldly combining Campari, Montelobos Espadín mezcal, Bacardí Reserva Ocho, Cinzano 1757 Rosso vermouth, Pedro Ximénez, coconut, and tonka. These three Negroni drinks are available at $170 each.

Take this opportunity to order the Vintage Negroni, as this is a rare chance to taste Campari from the 1980s, Carpano Sweet vermouth from the 60s, and R. Carmichael & Sons ‘Coldstream’ gin from the 70s. This blast from the past will set you back by $600, but every sip would be worth it.

Local bubble tea brand Silk. and Cantonese spirit-centric cocktail bar Kinsman are teaming up to combine beloved cha chaan beverages with cocktails.

Stocking, which elevates the bubble tea brand’s Smooth Latte – made with milk tea and espresso – by adding rice-aroma baijiu from Guangdong and sweet vermouth into the mix.

Hong Kong’s notoriously expensive rents, paired with a faltering economy and locals preferring to head across the border to Shenzhen for cheaper leisure activities, have meant a slew of closures in our restaurants, shops, and businesses this year. Unfortunately, here’s another one to add to the list: the Metropol Restaurant.

It is one of the few remaining restaurants in the city that serve dim sum out of traditional trolleys. Find more details about Metropol's closing by reading our blog here.
