Lamb Ribs – Francis
Middle Eastern signatures from St Francis Street’s Francis include these lamb ribs, chicken schnitzel and hummus. The 30-seat venue draws inspiration from Tel Aviv, the hometown of Chef Asher Goldstein, featuring organic produce, seafood, and an array of seasonal vegetables.
Ravioli Carbonara – Pici Wan Chai
The ravioli carbonara at Pici is one of our faves in all of Hong Kong and all the pasta at this down-to-earth pasta bar never lets you down . The spicy Orecchiette with Italian Sausage and Black Truffle Tagliolini are always crowd pleasers, but Pici also offer other Italian classics such as Vitello Tonnato, Burrata Cheese and Homemade Meatballs. Their Star Street branch ensures that an exceptional Italian meal is never too far away for diners in the heart of Wanchai

Just next door to Honbo, Chef Stephanie Kwong brings a unique marriage of French and Cantonese cuisine to Roots Eatery. Inspired by memories of her grandmother’s meals, the food at Roots Eatery is prepared with heart and soul, as well as creativity. This is exemplified in dishes like the Beef Tartare Yu Kwan Yick Style, the Signature Roasted French Spring Chicken with Gultinous Rice Stuffing, and Salted Egg Yolk Tart.
Pizza Carbonara – The Pizza Project
Star Street needed a pizza spot and the Pirata Group’s The Pizza Project definitely delivers. Envisioning to make pizza accessible to everyone, the pizza joint offers great doughy creations at a fair price, allowing guests to share fun experiences with friends and family. This Carbonara pizza is arguably iconic.
