Calle Ocho
We know Hong Kong loves a good-value set menu, but sometimes, we just want to go with our whimsies. Luckily, Spanish eatery Calle Ocho has come up with a flexible five-bowls system. For just HK$328 per person, you’ll get a credit for five bowls that can be used for dishes of your choice, be it a table of tapas or a mix of mains. The patatas bravas here is a classic and the broken eggs dish sees semi-fried eggs and ham mixed atop a nest of crispy potatoes. For mains, we are big fans of the slow-cooked rice dishes, such as the arroz con mariscos, which packs a real oceanic umami punch with cuttlefish, baby squid, mussels, king prawns and rich lobster stock.
