Lobster Bar

Seafood   |   $ $ $ $   |   Admiralty

Well-executed seafood dishes, extensive wine options and a bar that makes some of the best cocktails in town

 

For a lobster Thermidor with a liberal dollop of nostalgia, head to Lobster Bar at Island Shangri-La. The elegant, Gatsby-esque dining room is redolent of Hong Kong’s pre-Handover days without feeling particularly dated. The menu, while finely executed, is nothing novel, resorting to British and American classics like prawn cocktail, shepherd’s pie, and roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. The wine menu offers more variety, with the sommeliers drawing upon the hotel’s vast cellar to offer a truly formidable selection of wines by the glass, carafe, decanter or bottle. The restaurant makes it easy to come at any time of day, with strong brunch and cocktail offerings alike.

Signature Dishes

Tatler Tip

If you can, book the cosy banquette tables by the wall. Not only do they make for good people-watching, but they also come with an up-close view of the aquarium behind.
