The Restaurant at Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong

"World-class restaurants Petrus and Nadaman serve French and Japanese cuisine respectively, and a delightful daily buffet is laid on at the humbler Too café"

"The restaurants are heavily patronised by local gourmets – always a good sign"

"The marble baths have bidets, magnifying mirrors, and scales (best avoided after indulging in chef Frederic Chabbert’s fabulous French cuisine at the top-floor Restaurant Petrus)"

"The intimate Restaurant Petrus, widely regarded as one of the best French restaurants in Hong Kong, boasts a wine list of premium Petrus selections and 2,000 other celebrated vintages and is definitely the place to indulge in a lavish meal of foie gras and truffles"

"Petrus and Summer Palace rank among the best restaurants in town, but if those are too plush, pig out at Café TOO’s buffet or lounge in the porcelain blue-colored chairs for a Sunday brunch at the Lobster Bar and Grill"

"They loosen their ties at Café TOO (the hotel’s hallmark dining venue that features show kitchens cooking up various cuisines), or tuck in their shirts for a more formal affair at the Lobster Bar and Grill or Restaurant Petrus"

"In short, with its views, artwork, restaurants (Café TOO and Petrus are standouts), and other facilities, the Shangri-La epitomizes the best of Hong Kong"

"The small Island Gourmet tea and cake shop by the walk-through to the public shopping mall, and a poolside al fresco restaurant called the Waterside Terrace serving Thai and poolside specialties, complete the dining options"
