Embark on a seaside getaway to Ocean Rock in Stanley. Home to some of the most loved beaches in Hong Kong, the coastal neighbourhood also boasts a slew of restaurants serving everything from Mexican bites to Spanish tapas and German pub grub. Tucked away inside the historic Murray House, a restored Victorian-era building by the Stanley Promenade, Ocean Rock offers fresh seafood and delectable tapas with front-row views of the cerulean waters.

Influenced by Thai and Indian cuisines, Chilli Lime is a pan-Asian restaurant that offers a modern menu of vegetarian and seafood dishes. Located a stone’s throw away from Tseung Kwan O’s waterfront promenade, the family-friendly restaurant offers the prime spot to enjoy a relaxing meal after a stroll or bike ride by the bay. Grab a table at the spacious outdoor dining area to wine and dine amidst lush greenery. For an unexpected fusion dish, order the yellow curry crab meat in Gol Gappa (a traditional Indian fried puffball stuffed with potato, chickpeas, and spices) from the exclusive City Combo menu. 

Overlooking the revamped Kwun Tong waterfront, Mano offers hearty Italian comfort eats with a view. The popular quayside restaurant is one of the many new eateries that have moved into the area following the refurbishment of the promenade park. Mano offers a wide selection of handmade pizza, pasta, seafood, and meat. Indulge in the spicy nduja pizza, topped generously with the spreadable fermented pork sausage from Calabria in southern Italy, and wash everything down with a glass of Italian red wine.

An acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurant in San Sebastián, Amelia made its Asian debut in Hong Kong in 2019. Occupying a sprawling 130-seater space within Tsim Sha Tsui’s Harbour City, the modern European restaurant offers front-row seats to the dazzling Victoria Harbour. Hunker down by the window or out on the al fresco patio and watch the world go by over a glass of tipple. Amelia now offers a 'Sweeter Than Bitter' dessert combo, which is named after its signature homemade Basque burnt cheesecake – a pastry that looks bitter from the outside but actually tastes sweet. The decadent dessert is paired with 2019 Ca'ed Balos Moscato D'Asti, a light and fizzy wine punctuated with sticky notes of honey, mandarin, and peaches.
