China Tang
The Landmark’s upscale Chinese restaurant has reopened its doors after a two-month renovation, blending its rich heritage with a fresh, elegant design. Inspired by his global travels, executive chef Menex Cheung introduces a new menu that marries the bold flavours of Cantonese, Sichuan and Beijing cuisines. Signature dishes include the roasted squab, prepared using the “pipa” roasting method and infused with aged tangerine peel, for a tender bite and aromatic finish.
Shop 411-413, 4/F, Landmark Atrium, 15 Queen’s Road Central
Aer
A hard-hitting DJ programme, elevated comfort food by chef Andy Mast and bar master Nikita Matveev’s inventive cocktails make this new opening a must-visit. Affordable tipples include pandan-infused classics and new recipes inspired by fashion labels, while a state-of-the-art quadraphonic sound system manned by a rotating roster of the city’s best selectors keeps the beats pumping through the week.

Lin Heung Lau
The Hong Kong teahouse has opened its first-ever branch outside Central, serving dim sum 24 hours a day in Tsim Sha Tsui. Situated across two floors on Kimberley Road near Knutsford Terrace, this venue stays true to tradition with vintage teaware and classic dim sum trolleys offering the now seldom-seen pushcart service. With the original Wellington Street location having reopened under new management in 2024, Lin Heung Lau continues to charm locals and visitors alike, now with a live DJ on nostalgic nights to dial up the classic yum cha experience.
