ISOLA

Recently voted in HK Magazine’s Reader’s Choice Awards as having the city’s Best Set Lunch (HK$228 for choice of soup or salad and appetizer buffet, followed by a main from a list of pastas and grills, and rounded off with a twin dessert and coffee), Isola could equally have been voted as the city’s best alfresco dining spot, or as having the best view or… the list goes one. One of the city’s finest Italian restaurants located in the IFC and with panoramic harbour views, Isola boasts a cool contemporary interior with wooden floors and intricate white lattice work, an excellent bar and food that Chef Gianni Capioli describes as “common ingredients cooked uncommonly well”. Don’t miss his stone-baked whole sea bass with tomato, asparagus and black olives, and his thin-crust Trifola pizza with black truffle, mozzarella and green leaves is to die for. Sunny with a cheerful ambience by day, at night this restaurant is packed with the beautiful people so make sure you book.
