Buffet/Brunch Suggestions?
 

Will be in HK in a few weeks and wanted to try a lunch or dinner buffet. Looking for any buffets that might specialize in the seafood dept. Thanks for any suggestions!

I stayed at the JW Marriott 3 years ago over the Easter holidays and enjoyed a spectacular Sunday brunch in the hotel's restaurant. There was a very good selection of seafood dishes, both eastern and western. Actually, pretty much everything on this special buffet was very good, especially the desserts. :)

cafe TOO at the Island Shangri-la at Pacific Place has a great buffet with lots of seafood and all sorts of other dishes. Both lunch and dinner. Enjoy.

Sunday Brunch at the Intercon - execellent value (about HK$400) includes as much Moet as you can get them to pour for you. Book by phone well in advance. Great views as well.

I'd strongly second Chapel Hill Guy's suggestion of Café Too at the Island Shangri-La. An amazing assortment of many, many different types of food, and each dish seems better than the next. Among Pacific Place eateries, the Shang buffet is heads and shoulders above the Marriott. I also understand that the sister hotel, the Kowloon Shangri-La, has a new restaurant that pretty much creates the same buffet.

additional comment on

IC and TOTT and other locations

remember the HSBC Plat discount.

Great information! I think I will have to try the buffets at both Cafe TOO & IC.

ToTT's, JW Marriott, Cafe Too
 

Marriott buffet and Cafe Too are terrific, but if you want view plus good food, definitely go to ToTT's. It's in Causeway Bay and overlooks the Harbour. Beautiful.

Ask one of the hotel staff which dim sum restaurant they would recommend, one that locals frequent, not a hotel version. Get it written down in Cantonese, and have a cab take you there. Remember to also take something indicating your hotel address for the return trip. Even with language issues, you'll have an interesting meal. No menus - order little plates of various nibbles from carts as they wheel by. Might have to work a bit harder to order a good shark fin, bird's nest, or winter melon soup though. Meqal can go on for a good long while. Great meal to linger nad visit with new/old friends. Dim Sum is the hongkers equivalent of entertaining friends - they do it at restaurants instead of in their homes.

A taxi driver and my aunt who lives in Central both recommend me to have dim sum at:

There's no English one the website. In Cantonese, it's pronounced "may-SUM." There's one at HKIA.
