Hong Kong is where my family started their love of buffets. I think the buffets offered by high end hotels are among the best in the world. That is the one thing my kids looked forward to when we used to make annual trips to Hong Kong. I'll defer to others to make recommendations since I haven't been to one in several years.
I am not a breakfast person so I never go to breakfast buffet unless it's included in the price of the hotel.

Sunday Brunch buffets tend to be major events in HK - you often need to book well ahead. They can be very good value if you like your food, and especially if you can take full advantage of the free-flow champagne or sparkling that many have.
I have recently done the Intercon one for $688 including free-flow Moet&Chandon Brut NV, and the one at Top Deck at Jumbo for $388 including free-flow Veuve du Vernay. I would say that they were both about equally good value.

I've really enjoyed the buffet at Cafe TOO at the Island Shangri-La. It's simply amazing. I've been there for both breakfast and lunch, but I'm sure dinner is equally spectacular.

Has anyone done both dinner and Sunday brunch at the Harbourside? Dinner is HKD50 more. Which has a bigger spread? I suppose dinner has better views. Discovered from the hotel there are no live oysters at brunch.
Deciding between the two for my upcoming trip.
Thanks!!

with my love to italian food i much prefer the semi buffets on offer at some restaurants: zoia(elements)/Isola(IFC) comes to mind. if dessert's your thing, cova also has one. (the earlier 2 has more emphasis on anti-pasti and cova's on cakes.)
