Peak Lookout

This restaurant sits at the top of the Peak atop Hong Kong’s most famous mountain. Peak Lookout occupies a modest stone cottage and stands out like a beacon of historic nostalgia. Decorated with sepia-toned photographs and other mementos arrayed around the thick stone walls, it also has a lovely outside patio, with splendid views over the Aberdeen Channel. It’s touristy to be sure, and bustling, and the menu includes everything from a raw bar to American BBQ, but the ambience and setting make this a special evening. On some nights, there’s a jazz band. Reservations are a must.
