Frommer's Review

With a name that translates loosely as an "elegant dining establishment to enjoy the beautiful view," this great restaurant envelopes diners in a sophisticated, hushed environment, with large windows treating diners to a view of famous Victoria Harbour. The decor emphasizes the beauty of stark simplicity, with bonsai trees and flower arrangements that change with the lunar calendar; the restaurant is famous for its beautiful jade table settings (each setting is valued at approximately HK$8,000/US$1,039/£519!). Dishes are traditional Cantonese, as well as imaginative creations that border on Chinese nouvelle cuisine. The menu changes with each lunar month but always includes seafood, the restaurant's signature barbecued suckling pig, Peking duck (HK$660/US$86/£43; advance orders required), Lung Kong chicken, and sautéed prawns with XO chili sauce. The restaurant is also known for its dim sum. Since most diners follow the Chinese custom of ordering several dishes and then sharing, the average dinner bill without wine here is HK$1,200 (US$156/£78) for two.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
