Hugo’s

A Hong Kong institution that originally opened in 1969, this classic European restaurant in the Hyatt Regency earned its reputation as a favorite of Western expatriates and visiting business travelers. Devotees return often to take advantage of the well priced three-course executive lunch Monday through Friday, or to celebrate a professional milestone with exceptional sips from the 400-plus label cellar. The French chef commands his open kitchen while the dapper, knowledgeable wait staff silently prepare dishes from tableside trolleys. Start with a selection of Brittany rosé and Irish oysters and continue with mains that cater to carnivores like the organic Welsh lamb loin, peppered steak or roast Australian Black Angus rib. Hugo’s is famous for its old-school desserts, particularly the crêpe Suzette and chocolate bonbons, served with a theatrical flourish on billowing dry ice.
