From worldly cuisines delivered to your door, to lunches at the office, these restaurants have you covered with their gourmet takeaway offerings

The fourth wave of Covid-19 has resulted in another period of strict social distancing measures: not only are bars closed, but for two weeks from 10 December onwards restaurants will only be allowed to operate dine-in services until 6:00pm. It's a repeat of those earlier waves, when many restaurants and bars pivoted to takeaway and deliveries in order to keep surviving. In tough times like these, it's important we support the dining industry in any way we can. 

Editor's note: This story was originally published on March 30, 2020 and was updated on 10 December, 2020 following new social distancing measures by the Hong Kong government. While we aim to keep this story as updated as possible, we recommend contacting restaurants directly should you wish to order from them or arrange takeaway.
