Fine dining at home: The best food delivery and takeaway options in Hong Kong

Thanks to COVID-19, we’re no longer allowed to dine at Hong Kong restaurants from 6pm onwards for the next week or so, but that doesn’t mean that you’ve got to slave away in the kitchen. To help you bring fine dining home, here are #legend’s picks on the top Hong Kong food delivery and takeaway options to try this week and beyond.

Four Seasons, Hong Kong

Staying at home doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in a full dining experience. From exquisite three-course lunch and dinner sets, cheese and ham platters, family-sized grilled meat dishes, a classic three-tier afternoon tea set, to an expansive à la carte menu and more, Four Seasons Hong Kong has just about everything that you are craving for. What’s more, apart from pick-up at the hotel, delivery service is also available at a premium. 

We tried its wagyu beef ribs with truffle sauce (pictured above), which comes with two side dishes of your choice –­ one starch and one vegetable. Still warm and perfectly mouthwatering upon arrival, the sumptuous set can easily feed a party of four.

Available: For both pickup at The Lounge for lunch/ at Concierge desk for dinner, and delivery at a premium (HK$200 for Hong Kong Island, HK$300 for Kowloon and HK$500 for New Territories)

The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong: Tin Lung Heen & Tosca di Angelo

Known for its unobstructed view of the Hong Kong skyline from the 102th floor of The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, Tin Lung Heen doesn’t lose its appeal even without the view. The two-Michelin-star Chinese restaurant is now offering lunch and dinner pick up service from 12:30pm to 2:30pm and from 6:30pm to 9pm respectively from Monday to Sunday.

While its signature dim sum dishes, such as baked Middle East Yoshihama abalone puff and steamed shrimp dumpling with bamboo shoot are only served during lunch, its double-steamed soups, meat, seafood and vegetarian dishes are available all day long.

Another Michelin-starred restaurant in The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong offering takeaway is Tosca di Angelo, where you can choose from two seasonal menus, each incorporating the finest local produce and the best of what Italy has to offer, with all dishes cooked on the spot by the restaurant’s chefs.

The Peninsula, Hong Kong: Gaddi’s & Spring Moon
