Where do we book when we want to spoil ourselves with an expertly curated, multi-course tasting menu but don’t have a lot of cash to splash?
With many fine-dining tasting menus in Hong Kong clocking in regularly at upwards of HKD2K a head, it can be tricky unearthing top-notch yet affordable options. But, dear readers, you’re in luck – we’ve taken the guesswork out with our list of the top tasting menus in Hong Kong that won’t break the bank, with each featured restaurant offering a tasting menu priced at under HKD1,400 per diner (and most are less than HKD1K).
The best affordable tasting menus in Hong Kong
1. Rêveri
Translating to “to dream” in French, Rêveri is truly the dream of a lifetime for the husband-and-wife founders, John Law and Jessica Kesumo. At this contemporary East-meets-West fine-diner, John is the head chef, whilst Jessica graciously manages the front of house. Chef John’s dinner tasting menus (from HKD888 pp) are rooted in classic French cuisine, but it’s the chef’s pan-Asian flair, particularly through the use of seasonal Japanese ingredients, that stands out in Hong Kong. The truffle brioche is one of our favourite-ever bites, topped with lightly seared scallop, aged Cheddar, and a drizzle of scallion oil.

2. Roganic
Celebrating more than half a decade of success in Hong Kong, we think Roganic, British chef Simon Rogan’s Michelin-starred import, is the city’s best sustainable fine-dining restaurant, yet again bagging a Michelin Green Star this year for its commitment to using locally sourced ingredients. In 2025, the farm-to-table eatery made the move to a stunning new space at Lee Garden One in Causeway Bay. Executive chef Oli Marlow, head chef Adam Catterall, and senior sous-chef Mark Catchpole’s approachable menus have been designed with zero-waste principles in mind. The lunch and dinner tasting menu (HKD1,380 pp) includes an assortment of snacks, starter, intermediate course, main, two desserts, and extra sweet treats, whilst the three-course lunch menu (HKD520 pp) is a true fine-dining steal.

3. Leela
Our favourite Indian chef Manav Tuli departed CHAAT at Rosewood Hong Kong to open Leela in partnership with JIA Group in 2023, charming diners with his inventive tributes to the rich and diverse culinary traditions of India. The restaurant’s tasting menu (HKD888 pp) is the ideal way to sample the breadth of the chef’s finesse at a very reasonable price point, especially considering the quality of the local vegetables, seafood, and meat showcased. Currently wowing on the six-course tasting menu are the likes of the baked Chettinadu duck samosa, coconut sea bass, honey-sesame pork ribs, and smoked butter chicken.

4. Zoku Restaurant & The Terrace
The Hari hotel’s snazzy Japanese restaurant Zoku offers a wide range of enticing menus, from brunch and lunch, to happy hour, to a bar snacks menu, but it’s the eatery’s beautifully presented Discovering Zoku six-course tasting menu (HKD888 pp), available Sunday through Thursday, that stands out. It kicks off with a selection of otoshi (similar to one-bite amuse-bouche) the likes of the Wagyu with crispy rice and quail egg, followed by a cold kaishi dish. Sushi is up next, with a warm otsumami dish such as the chicken karaage ensuing. Then it’s time to select a main course and dessert (the chargrilled eel and matcha cake are both winners). Zoku also deserves a shout-out for its uber-polished service, which makes all the difference when enjoying a leisurely tasting menu.

5. Above & Beyond
Michelin-recommended Above & Beyond, located on the top floor of Hotel ICON, has been standing sky-high (literally) in Hong Kong’s Cantonese fine-dining sphere for over a decade. For a blowout Chinese meal with a modest price tag, executive chef Chi Ki Wong has put his heart and soul into a series of generous tasting menus. We suggest the braised South African abalone with Peking duck set (HKD1,388 pp), where the gleaming, lacquered Peking duck plays a starring role alongside a bevy of premium under-the-sea delights.

6. Clarence
At Olivier Elzer’s contemporary French restaurant Clarence, head chef Christophe Schmitt takes a lighter, Asian-inspired approach to Gallic cuisine, offering a fresh perspective. The set dinner menu (HKD788 pp) allows diners to customise their own bill of fare, selecting two cold starters, two hot starters, a main, and dessert or cheese course from a large range of choices. For classic French flavours, you can’t go wrong with the beef tartare, snails cooked in pot, and skate wing with spiced brown butter. The eatery’s relaxed, convivial ambience is another reason we head back to Clarence again and again.

7. SOMM
An abbreviation for “sommelier,” SOMM is a cosy restaurant at Mandarin Oriental The Landmark serving up French neo-bistro delights to the clink of over 1,600 bottles of champagne, wine, and sake. We think all the eatery’s menus, from brunch onwards, are worthy, but our pick of the lot is the SOMMallset menu (from HKD718 pp) for dinner. This bespoke experience allows diners to customise a selection of creative, comforting seasonal dishes the likes of the French onion soup to start, roasted striploin and braised short rib main, and, for dessert, this luscious Abinao chocolate soufflé (+HKD30). The portions are ample, and even the most basic three-course menu includes a glass of sommelier-selected wine.

8. Yong Fu
Boasting accolades up the wazoo, including a glittering Michelin star, Yong Fu’s Hong Kong outpost is an extension of the original in Shanghai, a restaurant presenting the unique opportunity for diners to savour the subtle coastal flavours of Ningbo in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang. The season-driven set lunch menu (HKD498 pp) crafted by chef Liu Zhen showcases 10 bright and fresh dishes that are characteristic of Ningbo cuisine, including a selection of appetisers, soup course, deep-fried dish, seafood course, stir-fried dish, seasonal vegetable of the day, staple recipes, and dessert. You can choose to up the ante with Yong Fu’s set dinner menu (HKD1,398 pp).
