Came here a dinner, friends recommended this place, so we went there as a group of 4. Located is hidden in an alley, for me, it’s not quite easy to find and this is full of car modeling shops around. You can easily spot this café as this is the only one have people waiting for seats outside. They do not accept any reservations so my friend went there early to try to get a seat. She waited for 15 mins and we got in. Décor is amazing. This is about the owner love to travel so open a shop with all the décor of post card, books and souvenirs all around the world. They do not have a wide selection of menu but all the price are very reasonable. For $ 100, you can have a soup and main. And all the dishes there is around $ 100 and the portion is very big enough for 2 people. We ordered 2 sets(fish and fries & Roasted rice with cream sauce), and 2 al carte from the menu(snacks platter & assorted steak). Definitely recommend the fish and fries, the fish are fried perfectly, and size are at least 20 cm by 10 cm! We are all impressed with this great deal! And the snack flatter are in great portion(at least 20 pieces of everything) and we got all very excited. Even though it’s all sausages, potatoes fedges, onion rings, deep fried curry, stuffed Crab Claw and it’s out of my healthy rating, this is just very nicely plated and great taste. I saved some space for dessert and ordered waffle with green tea ice-cream, waffle are freshly made and yes, I do love it. The bill is only $ 750 for 4 and I am so full after all!

Service is complete shit. The waiters just stand around and are useless. Had to get up and ask the manager after 30 min if someone could take my order and just left $ on table o pay as no one would bring me a bill.

This is a nice little British style restaurant. If you’re visiting Hong Kong but just need a little taste of Western food this is a great place with some awesome salmon based meals. Great tea selection too! The tea has its own multi paged menu. Went there twice on my trip and would go back if I ever travel to Hong Kong again.

It is a really good place to go, although may kind of crowded because of the large population in HK. Tasty food and good beer.

One of my favourite places in Kowloon. The Alchemist is my fix away from the office away from the office in Australia. Fantastic coffee. Brilliant food. Mostly western style food but they do it so well unlike most of Hong Kong. Decent portion sizes. Free wifi. Great service.

I love the interior here. It has a travel theme to it, and word has it you can also trade travel stuff here for a discount. The café also makes decent priced cocktails(protip: The cocktails are actually better value than the beer). If you’re also traveling or want to meet new friends also, the weekly couchsurfing party is hosted here every Saturday where there is at least 20 – 30 people some local and some travelers passing through.
