TRAVEL GUIDE HONG KONG

FROM MON & PAU BY GANNET

HONG KONG

An insider’s guide to the city’s rhythm — where to eat, wander, and pause.
Hong Kong balances contrasts beautifully: mirrored towers and quiet courtyards, coastal trails and world-class art.
It’s a city to explore slowly — one thoughtful meal, gallery, or cup of tea at a time.
 
This November, Mon & Pau joins the city’s creative pulse — 4th & 5th of November in Hong Kong — bringing timeless craftsmanship to one of Asia’s most inspiring crossroads.

UNWIND

Asaya at Rosewood
The spa at the Rosewood. Holistic treatments, ocean views, and refined calm — the city’s most chic place to recover from a transpacific flight or just unwind 

EAT & DRINK

Duddell’s
Modern Cantonese with art-world polish. Refined, lively, always relevant.

Luk Yu Tea House
White-jacketed waiters, carved wood, and classic dim sum — old Hong Kong, unchanged.

China Club
Lacquered  beautiful rooms and very distinguished, they serve the best Peking duck in the city (Ask the concierge — it remains a private club.)

Always Joy
Kaiseki from the beloved  Yardbird team — one of 2025’s most anticipated openings. Minimal, seasonal, faultless.

LPM Restaurant & Bar
French-Mediterranean with fabulous food and drinks, the spot for a proper Côte d’Azur fix.

Parabolica Café
Design-driven café in Repulse Bay. Light-filled, elegant, with excellent coffee and a calm tempo.

The Upper House Bar
Skyline views, low light, perfect martinis and very stylish crowds

Arabica & Blue Bottle Coffee
Both have several locations across the city — consistently good espresso drinks and sleek spaces for a mid-day caffeine fix.

SEE

PMQ
Studios, design shops, and creative energy in a restored heritage block.

Kapok
Wan Chai’s concept store. A precise edit of fashion, scent, and home.

Tai Kwun
Courtyards, galleries, good coffee — Central’s most graceful pause.

David Zwirner & Gagosian
Global galleries, museum-quality shows, and Hong Kong’s sharpest crowd.

M+ Museum
Modern Asia in architecture, design, and moving image.

Palace Museum
Imperial art reframed with contemporary clarity.

EXPLORE

Dragon’s Back
Hong Kong’s most scenic hike. Gentle ridges, ocean views, and a reminder of how close nature sits to the city.

Sheung Wan / Tai Ping Shan
Antiques, galleries, slow cafés — the city’s creative old soul.

Star Street Precinct
Boutiques, florists, and natural wine. Small-scale, walkable, quietly European.

With love,
Mon&Pau and Gannet
