From the group that brought you Duddell’s and Chachawan, Old Bailey sets new standards in Jiangsu dining in Hong Kong. Nestled in the JC Contemporary building in Tai Kwun, Old Bailey’s modern space – designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron – has views of Central from its floor-to-ceiling windows.

The presentation of dishes such as the Longjing tea-smoked pigeon is gorgeous. The dish comes covered in a dramatic copper birdcage lid; plumes of smoke are released when the lid is lifted. Mala Iberico pork xiaolongbao is a delicious combination of Sichuan spices and superior broth from Iberico pork, all encased in a dumpling.
