Neo-Neapolitan pizzeria Falcone has gone from sea to sky, opening its second location after the IFC Mall outlet, right atop The Peak. The new restaurant is decked out in the same maximalist, mid-1970s Italian decor, with a menu featuring exclusive dishes such as tuna and basil strozzapreti and salsiccia e zucca pizza, alongside crowd favourites like pacchianella, and it's all molto bene.

New to Hung Hom, this Thai eatery offers street-food-inspired grub with stunning harbour views. Led by Wijannarongk Kunchit, a Thai chef with more than 30 years of experience, the restaurant serves dishes such as Ibérico pork neck, crabmeat in egg cream curry and dry-aged Wagyu bavette with red or green curry, which are both – like much else on the menu – seasoned with the perfect amount of kick.

The cafe-eatery serves mainstays of Nordic cuisine such as Danish tebirkes pastries, Norwegian fiskesuppe, smørrebrød open-faced sandwiches and more, making it the perfect spot to sup a quick fika while people-watching.
