One Harbour Road

Frommer's Review

For elegant Chinese dining in Wan Chai, head to the lobby of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, where a glass bubble elevator will deliver you directly to this eighth-floor restaurant. Designed to resemble the terrace of an elegant 1930s taipan mansion, it's bright and airy, with split-level dining offering views of the harbor. A profusion of plants, a large lotus pond, and the sound of running water give the illusion of outdoor dining; tables spread far apart provide privacy. The extensive menu offers straightforward, traditional Cantonese fare, with no nouvelle nuances or foreign influences. There's the usual shark's-fin specialties, abalone, bird's nest, Peking duck (order in advance), beggar's chicken (order in advance), and roast goose (which costs substantially more than the prices given). Specialties include stir-fried prawns in spicy sauce, crispy chicken, and simmered garoupa with hot chile and vegetables. There are also fixed-price lunch and dinner menus, which, unfortunately for lone diners, require a minimum order for two people.
