If you are a coffee lover, don't try finding another coffee shop, you simply need to go there. They also have a great brunch & breakfast menu. From eggs benedict, to muesli, muffins and even more.
The dishes are great but big, don't bite off more than you can chew!



Lunch & Dinner:
Tim Ho Wan - Various locations

If you end up going to Hong Kong and not trying the fabulous Dim Sum, you missed something. Tim Ho Wan happened to be the cheapest Michelin starred restaurant in the world and nonetheless amazing. You may have to queue a long time if you are at the front door during the peak hours. However the food worths the wait. Try out the BBQ pork buns (around 5$ for 3 buns) and the Har Gow. For the rest, go with your intuition!



Drinks & Dinner:
Brickhouse, 20A d'Aguilar Street via Brick Lane Central

Hidden behind the craziness of Lan Kwai Fong, this tiny mexican place is the hot spot of the expats.

Enjoy a well balanced margarita accompanied by some tacos. The guacamole is hand made, and the beef is tender as you can imagine.
On top of everything, they play some good music for the happiness of your ears!
They don't take any reservations, show up earlier than the crowd!



Dinner:
Yardbird, 33 Bridges Street, Centre Stage - Soho

Located in the lovely district of Soho, this yakitori restaurant serves small plates with taste. I would recommend to order various dishes and share them among the persons at your table. The sweet corn tempura is their specialty, and the liver mousse, served with milk bread is delightful. You may ask the waitress for advise. Don't be scared by the weird looking menu, everything's meant to liven up your taste buds!
