Frommer's Very Highly Recommended
Lan Kwai Fong isn't exactly known for sophisticated dining, but this alluring venue rises above it -- literally. Located on the top two floors of the Hotel LKF, it offers striking views of the city from its lofty perch. On the 29th floor is a casual bar with a pool table and free canapés daily from 5:30 to 8:30pm, while a white, winding staircase gives dramatic entrance to the tall-ceilinged restaurant one floor up, decorated in cool blue colors accented by deep-blue water goblets on all the tables. The menu is an innovative twist on classic European cuisine, with artfully presented dishes. You might wish to start with the six-layer blue crab salad, with its layers of avocado, smoked salmon, crispy pancetta, tomato, mesculun greens, and Dijon vinaigrette, followed by the rack of lamb, marinated in soy sauce and Dijon and then roasted. With its gorgeous views, dramatic setting, and great food, this newcomer makes a trip to Lan Kwai Fong worth it even for those who those have no intention of joining the nightly party scene below.
