The Verandah

Unless you're planning a trip to the beach, this wonderful, veranda-like restaurant is the only reason to venture to this destination on Hong Kong Island's south side, though you do pass it by on your way to Stanley when coming from Central. A throwback to Hong Kong's colonial days in a setting reminiscent of an exclusive private club, the Verandah boasts a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere, with tall ceilings and whirling fans, starched tablecloths and flowers, and windows open to a manicured lawn and palm trees. If you can, book a table more than a month in advance and arrive starving at its famous Sunday brunch, complete with a jazz band. Otherwise, from the regular menu, you might wish to start with the Verandah's famous Caesar salad, prepared tableside and topped with a choice of parma ham, grilled prawns, or home-smoked salmon, followed perhaps by lobster bisque. For a main course, you might choose a lobster dish or the filet of U.S. prime beef tenderloin. With its excellent service, great food, and wonderful ambience, this is a very civilized place where you'll want to linger. A piano player serenades in the evening.
