Top 10 Restaurants that will seal the business deal.

Description:

On a business trip, attending a conference or visiting exhibitions and conventions? Real smart business people know where to take their clients out to lunch or dinner during their stay. After a hefty round of negotiation and presentations it is important in Hong Kong to take each other out to seal the deal over dinner. Real conversations happen outside the office and over dinner tables and drinks and seldom in the office. These 6 restaurants have just the right ambiance and amount of food for real conversations to start. Hong Kong has earned itself its well deserved title of 'Gourmet Paradise Heaven' so why not be tempted and taste some good food whilst you are here on a business trip.

Day Note:

Hong Kong is a Gourmet Paradise not just because of local Chinese flavours but also because Western cuisine is equally celebrated and exemplary. It won't matter that you are unfamiliar with Hong Kong on your first day. Light Cantonese Lunch at Yung Kee with business clients will be a sure ice breaker and conversation starter. Sample great Chinese tea too. Situated right at the very centre of the business district in Hong Kong M at the Fringe Club in Central...read more

    Description:

    Popular for decades, Yung Kee started out in 1942 as a small shop selling roast goose, which did so well that it soon expanded into a very successful Cantonese enterprise. Through the years, it has won numerous food awards and is the only restaurant in Hong Kong ever to be included in Fortune magazine's top 15 restaurants of the world (although, it must be added, the award was back in 1968). Its specialty is still roast goose with plum sauce, cooked to perfection with tender meat on the inside and crispy skin on the outside; a half bird, enough for five or six people, costs HK$210 (US$27/£14), while a smaller portion for two people costs HK$120 (US$16/£7.80; note that goose is pulled from the menu any time there's an avian flu scare). Other specialties include thousand-year-old eggs and any of the fresh seafood, like braised garoupa tail. Dining is on one of the upper three floors, but if all you want is a bowl of congee or takeout, join the office workers who pour in for a quick meal on the informal ground floor.

    Drinks- a wine cellar with over 2000 bottles and sake like you've never tasted before.

    Description:

    A Sunday favourite, this Japanese Sunday brunch includes starters and a choice of main with unlimited champagne or sake (lethal) and a dessert platter to share at the end of the meal.
    Meeting an old friend in Hong Kong and catching up is what ladies do on a Sunday afternoon brunch, Zuma has great sake to wash down all the five different kinds of fish, softshell crab sushi and tofu. The service is impeccable and the waiters speak fluent English. Grilled veggie skewers and the homemade desserts are a real treat.

    Description:

    As you'd expect from a restaurant in The Peninsula, this is a very refined and civilized place for the humble dim sum, with an English menu that lists more than a dozen mouthwatering choices that change with the seasons. Dim sum connoisseurs believe the morsels served here are among the best in town, with past examples including steamed pork dumpling with shark's fin, and pan-fried minced beef and onion cakes. Spring Moon is also famous for its more than two dozen varieties of Chinese teas and even employs professionally trained tea masters. The restaurant is decorated in an Art Deco style reminiscent of how the restaurant would have looked in 1928, the year The Peninsula opened, with stained glass, wood paneling, and Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired highlights.

    Signature dishes: tomato jelly with prawns, scallops, sprouts, salad, fruit and black salt, pappardelle with duck ragout, roast pigeon with aple, spinach and red onion jam, fruits de mer with light polenta and mushrooms

    Description:

    Domani has an very interesting, innovative Italian menu using traditional seasonal local and italian ingredients. The menu is prepared by Michelin starred chef Mauro Uliassi. People love the Sardinian gnochetti with lamb ragout, Marche style fruit of the sea, simmered and served in an albanella jar, The black hole prawns, potato fondant and black truffle.

    Diners can feast on Italian classics like vedure e chantilly al limone a succulent combination of turbot, Jerusalem artichoke, vegetables and lemon chantilly or the filetto di manzo a succueltn beef tenderloin with red wine and garlic sauce, topped with roasted potatoes, taggiasche olives and red bell peppers. The ambience is lively with a fun bustling open kitchen and lots and lots of glass windows designed by Thomas Heatherwick. At the same time, the best thing is that the tables outside are more fun in nice HK winter weather.

    Description:

    An old favorite with expatriates, especially the British, Jimmy's has been established for more than 70 years. The wider choice of Asian dishes has been attracting a more cosmopolitan crowd over recent years. Comfortable and private, the booths provide seclusion without destroying the slightly old fashioned atmosphere. Just about everything on the menu works, from the heavy European fare, such as borscht, roasts, goulash and bangers and mash, to the more esoteric Asian dishes. Meatless options mean vegetarians will not go hungry and the children's menu is extensive.
