2 Best Restaurants in Hong Kong, China

FINDS

$$$ | Tsim Sha Tsui

The name stands for Finland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, and these Nordic countries are from where the restaurant draws its inspiration. Finnish chef Jaakko Sorsa explores the flavors of his home country with dishes such as house-smoked salmon and wild game pâté served with rowanberry jelly. The menu expands from there to cover other parts of Scandinavia; be sure to try the Danish smørrebrød open-faced sandwiches and the Daim parfait—a crunchy, sticky, layered dessert based on a popular Swedish chocolate bar. Another reason to love FINDS? The restaurant is a firm supporter of eco-conscious eating, and you'll find seafood specials on the menu that have been sustainably sourced.

NUR

$$$$ | Central

Head chef Nurdin Topham has made it his mission to bring what he calls "nourishing gastronomy" to Hong Kong. His food—which is heavily influenced by Scandinavian cooking techniques—places emphasis on taste, nutrition, and sustainable eating. Ingredients are sourced from local farms whenever possible and are used in the restaurant’s two tasting menus. Dishes are tweaked regularly to reflect the season’s freshest produce, but dishes like heirloom tomatoes with king crab or Taiyouran egg with whole grains and shiitake mushrooms have become house favorites.
