Hong Kong är en av världens bästa matstäder
Om att äta gott står högt upp på din lista över saker att göra på resan är Hongkong en stad som du absolut inte får missa. Med mer än sju miljoner invånare, 14 000+ matställen, 93 restauranger med Michelinstjärnor och en mångfald av rätter som bara finns i en handfull städer runt om i världen, är vår rekommendation för denna livliga destination att komma hungrig och inte äta för mycket, och lämna utrymme ombord för att njuta av så många matställen som möjligt under ditt besök.
Hongkong kan lätt stå på egna ben med sitt lokala kök som främst är kantonesiskt, men influenserna från mer än ett århundrade av brittiskt kolonialstyre, plus smaker och kryddor som är Hokkien (traditionellt från Fujian-provinsen i sydöstra Kina), Shanghainese, japanska, koreanska, vietnamesiska, filippinska och från andra sydostasiatiska länder gör denna stad till en matälskares dröm som går i uppfyllelse.
För 2026 har Food & Wine Magazine utsett Hong Kong till "Top Global Food City", och en efterföljande undersökning bland mer än 400 matjournalister, kockar och kulinariska notarier höll med och utsåg staden till årets "Culinary Capital of the World". De främsta internationella reseguiderna, inklusive Michelin, har utsett över 200 restauranger i Hongkong till enastående. Men även om det finns gott om exklusiva restauranger här betyder det inte att besökare som anländer i ekonomiklass (det vill säga jag) glöms bort, eftersom stadens samling av dim sum-restauranger, cha chaan teng (kaféer i Hongkong-stil) och gatumatscenen är starkare än någonsin.

Vad är några traditionella livsmedel i Hongkong-stil?
- Dim Sum: Tänk spanska tapas i kinesisk stil, med ett brett urval av små rätter som traditionellt finns tillgängliga från en rullande vagn eller beställs från en checklista som gästerna lämnar till servitören. Vissa restauranger erbjuder ett kombinerat tillvägagångssätt där vissa rätter är tillgängliga från vagnen medan andra måste beställas. Delad familjemiddag där alla är med och äter. Många rätter serveras i ångkokare av bambu för att de ska vara fräscha och hålla värmen. Dim sum serveras normalt från sen förmiddag till tidig eftermiddag, men det kan hända att några matställen är öppna när solen går upp. Maten är fantastisk och det är även atmosfären, som känns som om lokalsamhället samlas för att prata med varandra.
- Curryfiskbullar: Kanske det mest populära gatusnackset i Hongkong. Denna lokala klassiker serveras på spett eller i små skålar med hoppfulla fiskbullar täckta av en mild till halvstark currysås med en doft som lockar dig. Ät medan du promenerar genom Mong Kok eller Causeway Bay eller slå dig ner vid ett litet bord i närheten av matståndet.
- Grillat kött: Kallas siu mei på kantonesiska och finns som fläsk, stekt anka eller gås.
- Wonton-nudlar: Äggnudlar i en smakrik buljong, vanligtvis med fläsk- och räkdumplings (wontons). Serveras också från matvagnar där du kan bygga din egen skål med nudlar, en mängd olika toppings och buljong.
- Äggtårtor: Låtsas att du är i Lissabon eller Storbritannien där dessa flingiga bakverk är fyllda med en söt och krämig vaniljsås. Jag förstår den brittiska kopplingen, men varför Portugal? Macao, som var en portugisisk koloni 1557-1999, ligger intill Hongkong och är också en särskild administrativ region (SAR) i Kina. Kombinationen av kinesisk och portugisisk kultur är unik och fascinerande om du har tid att planera ett besök.

Where To Go For The Best Hong Kong-Style Restaurants
You’ve settled into town after a potentially long flight to Hong Kong and want to grab some everyday comfort food that the locals eat. There are just too many possibilities here, so let’s try to make some sense of your options. Hong Kong cafes typically serve a lot more than what you may know as “Chinese food”, because they are influenced not only by the eight major regions of China and the rest of Asia, but also by Western cultures including French, Italian, Spanish, and so on. The culinary competition here is intense, so the quality of what you’ll discover while here will be amazingly high.
The blend of Cantonese cooking that was influenced by the British for more than a century has led to a wide variety of easy to make and quick to cook dishes. In fact, gathering the fresh ingredients often takes a lot longer than the brief time that vegetables and meats sizzle in a wok or frying pan. Surprisingly, standard offerings at Hong Kong-style tea houses and cafes include macaroni soup with ham, egg sandwiches, pineapple buns, baked pork chop rice, along with Hong Kong milk tea or coffee. This may not sound Chinese to you, but there’s also no shortage of what you were expecting with fresh vegetables and meats or tofu in spectacular sauces, served with rice, dumplings, or noodles. And do be sure to try some traditional claypot rice dishes. Mmm mmm.
Here are a few locally popular Hong Kong-style restaurants that you may want to check out:
- Tai Ping Koon, multiple locations in Tsim Sha Tsui, Western, and Causeway Bay - Known for their Swiss sauce chicken, baked pork cutlet rice, and dessert souffle.
- Kam Wah Café & Cake Shop, Mong Kok - Try the Hong Kong-style French toast, Hokkien fried rice, or a pineapple bun with pork.
- Ho Lee Fook, SoHo - Upscale Cantonese cuisine focused on traditional Hong Kong dishes. Chinese barbecue, seafood, wok-fried and claypot offerings. Dinner only with reservations recommended.
- Yong Fu, Wan Chai – Looking for someplace that the locals flock to? This is the place. Traditional Hong Kong-style cuisine with Ningbo seafood influences leading to incredible dishes such as steamed fish, shrimp in honey sauce, and unique dumplings that you won’t stop eating. Lunch and dinner set menus with 7-8 courses including appetizer, soup, and dessert.

Dim Sum in Hong Kong
Enjoying dim sum in Hong Kong can be a casual experience with a bustling diner atmosphere, or an opportunity for a more refined meal known as “yum cha” where the dishes are more complex and colorful, similar in ways to omakase sushi, where skilled chefs present astonishing food. Whichever you prefer, or perhaps you’ll try both while here, the food is guaranteed to curb any hunger pangs you may be experiencing. Both dim sum styles are so popular and respected that the Michelin guide for Hong Kong features both in their listings. Hear are some highly regarded dim sum/yum cha restaurants that are regularly recommended on multiple Hong Kong dining websites:
Luk Yu Tea House, Central – This is one of Hong Kong’s most revered tea houses with old-world charm and traditional Cantonese dishes. Ranks right up there for an authentic Hong Kong dim sum experience.
Tim Ho Wan, multiple locations including Tsim Sha Tsui and Central – Inexpensive and wonderful with more than 20 dim sum styles offered. Casual, so come as you are. The signature immensely popular dish is the flakey char siu bun but try as many different items (BBQ pork buns!) as you can as the value can’t be beat. This may just be the least expensive Michelin-starred restaurant on the planet.
Mott 32, Central – One of the most awarded Chinese restaurants worldwide, serving dim sum and a full menu featuring Cantonese dishes, as well as those from Shanghai, and Beijing. Elegant and creative cuisine, foodies looking for an upscale modern dining experience will do nicely here.
Tai Wing Wah, Central – A Michelin Bib Gourmand recognized establishment which serves moderately priced dim sum dishes known as “wai tau choi”, meaning walled village food, noticeably different from Cantonese. The walled villages honor the cuisine of the New Territory areas that built walls to prevent attacks from marauding pirates and wild animals. The festive red and gold atmosphere is an ideal ambiance for trying their dim sun, and specialty dishes such as roast duck and steamed sponge cake.
One Dim Sum, Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui locations – Affordably priced, casual, and incredibly delicious Cantonese dim sum. From the steamed buns to the steamed dumplings, rice, and rice rolls, you can’t go wrong here. And the restaurant’s crispy garlic shrimp spring rolls and pan fried raddish cake keeps their patrons coming back.
Of course, there are hundreds of places to find dim sum in this fascinating city. Grab some at a street market, a casual storefront, or in the elegant dining room of a five-star hotel. No matter what style you prefer and what your budget will allow, incredible dim sum is located within walking distance or possibly within your hotel.

What Does Michelin Have To Say About Dining in Hong Kong?
It’s a common misconception that in order to receive a Michelin star or Bib Gourmand recognition a restaurant has to be extremely expensive, opulently decorated, offer elaborate dishes, an extensive wine list, white glove service, and be impossible to garner a reservation at. Nothing could be further from the truth, as Michelin anonymously visits thousands of restaurants around the world each year that range from hole-in-the-wall barbecue joints to the fanciest digs you can imagine, knowing that looks can certainly be deceiving. As one of the world’s great food cities, Hong Kong and neighboring Macau do, at this time have 93 Michelin-star rated restaurants, 72 dining spots that they consider “notable”, and another 70 Bib Gourmand recognized places that offer excellent value and a superb dining experience. A future article about Hong Kong’s dining scene will focus solely on Michelin’s awards in this culinary mecca.

Make Plans For That Once In A Lifetime Trip to Hong Kong
Believe me when I tell you that shortly after you set foot in Hong Kong you’ll be wondering what took you so long to come here. Thankfully my first visit was early in my career, making multiple return trips to this incredible city very possible. The energy that this city exudes, much like New York, Tokyo, London, Rio de Janeiro, and Barcelona, is palpable. The bustling harbor, view from Victoria Peak, Central financial district, SoHo’s dining and creative scene, the endless nightlife in Lan Kwai Fong (LKF), Mong Kok’s food stalls and urban energy, and the shopping and harbor views of Kowloon’s Tsim Sha Tsui, are each in their own way fascinating and energetic neighborhoods that shouldn’t be missed.
Part of the reason to come here is for the diverse culinary opportunities that you may never experience again. All eight cuisines of China are well represented here, from the local Hong Kong/Cantonese (Guangdong) offerings to Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong and beyond. And whether you’re eating on a limited budget or want to explore the fine dining scene, you are assured of out-of-this-world flavors that will simply astound you.
