LANTAU

The lion’s share of Lantau’s restaurants is in Mui Wo (Silvermine Bay), but you certainly won’t starve in places further afield, such as the settlements along South Lantau Rd, on the Ngong Ping Plateau and in Tai O. Discovery Bay has its own line-up of eateries around Discovery Bay Plaza ( Map).

Mui Wo

You’ll find a slew of restaurants, noodle shops and bars to the southwest of the ferry pier. There are also some restaurants on the way to Silvermine Bay Beach and on the beach itself. There’s a ferry service from Pier 6 in front of Exchange Square.

Bahçe Map Turkish $

‘The Garden’ might be a somewhat ambitious name for this small eatery, but it has all our Turkish favourites, including sigara böreǧi (filo parcels filled with cheese) and yaprak dolmasi (stuffed vine leaves).

Chun Chun Map Chinese, Vietnamese $

294 7727; 35 Rural Committee Rd; meals under $40; 8.30am-5.30pm

Lantau residents have been coming for years to this modest joint for its excellent Vietnamese-style noodles flavoured with lemon grass. They’re best consumed with ice-cold bottled Coke.

Mui Wo Cooked Food Centre Map Chinese $

Just off the Mui Wo ferry pier to your right, there’s a cooked food centre with a couple of stalls selling dim dum from 6am till late afternoon, where you need to get your own food from the kitchen counter. There are also a few seafood restaurants that open from afternoon till midnight with tables facing the sea.

Tak Chai Kee Map Dai Pai Dong, Seafood $

2984 1265; 1 Chung Hou Rd; 11am-10pm

At this family-run eatery, you can munch on fresh, affordable seafood (from $55) while being entertained by the felines-in-residence.

Discovery Bay

The restaurants in the circular plaza opposite the ferry pier at Discovery Bay ( Map) offer a wide variety of cuisines. There’s a ferry service from Pier 3 in front of Exchange Square.

2987 8855; www.hemingwaysdb.com; Shop G09, D Deck, Discovery Bay Plaza; 2pm-1am Mon-Fri, 10am-2am Sat & Sun; Discovery Bay

It may not feel exactly like Havana here, but when the weather is clear, this beachfront restaurant makes for a great escape. You can even see the fireworks going off in Disneyland every evening from 8.30pm. Try the signature burger ($105) and the mojito ($72).

South Lantau Road

Cheung Sha and Tung Fuk, two of the villages along South Lantau Rd, Lantau’s main east–west thoroughfare, have decent restaurants from which to choose.
