Having doled out, as the Danish name suggests, Scandinavian 'cosiness' since 2022 in Tseung Kwan O, this comfortable cafe-restaurant has now opened a larger second location, in Tai Kok Tsui. Settled into its calming interiors, diners can expect Hygge's signature crêpes and pizzas, as well as baked herring en papillote, pan-fried gnocchi in green sauce and even a Chiuchow abalone risotto. The coffee and dessert menus round out the warming experience for soul as much as stomach.

Inspired by childhood summers spent with their nonna, brothers Roberto and Riccardo Trento bring the flavours of Italy's Dolomites to Hong Kong with this new eatery located just off the upper reaches of the Mid-Levels escalator. The diner's warm wooden interior and rustic decor conjure a charming alpine farmhouse, setting the scene for hearty pastas and polenta, all served up with a side of
warm Italian hospitality
