If you like craft beer and pub food, this is not a bad place to hang out on High Street. They have got some good local brews – we recommend beers by Hong Kong Beer Co, Gweilo and Hong Master (but you can ask the barman/woman for their recommendations.)

Yummy Thai food that is worth the hype and the price. You usually have to wait, but can go have a drink somewhere else nearby and they'll call you.
You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but if you have at least 3 people and some time to wait, get the whole fish.

A great little hidden treasure, for breakfast, lunch, nice coffee or a local beer. Set up like an old Cantonese style cafe but with the hip charm that our neighborhood is becoming known for. One of our new favourites!
