This week’s Garage Hacks is a bit different, as we’re hacking your lunch break! On days when you have one meeting lined after another, a quick and convenient lunch is a must. Here are our favourite places that are within a 5 – 10 minute walk from Garage DVR, Garage QRC, and our new location in Sai Ying Pun Garage Collective. Have your own favourites? Be sure to comment below!
Shop 322, 3/F, Landmark Atrium A great place for tried and tested lunch classics, Urban is best known for its cult favourite croissant sandwiches. Their salads are also super unique!
61 Wellington St, Central Kasa does traditional Hong Kong food with a modern twist. Everything comes in small dishes, so you can try and test your favourites. The menu is also very vegetarian friendly.
Shop G01-101, Nexxus Building, 77 Des Voeux Road Central It doesn’t get earthier than this, guys. Reminiscent of Mana! Fast Slow Food for its emphasis on sustainability, Home is best known for its Earth Bowls and seriously detoxifying juices.
28 Li Yuen St W, Central This place is also relatively new, but we’re already obsessed with it. Bagels are the things on the menu, and we’re perfectly happy with that. They also serve Allpress Coffee!
Shop 1041-1049, 1/F, IFC Mall Yep, you heard us right. IFC’s premade food selection is actually impressive, and delish! They have a wide selection of lunch foods, spanning Eastern and Western cuisine.
Hillier Building, 33 Hillier St Already a Garager favourite, La Rotisserie is a Sheung Wan staple for their traditional French-style roast chicken.
Hillier Building, 33 Hillier St Right next door to La Rotisserie, Donburi Kings is also on its way to cult status with its wide selection of every type of don your little heart desires. Note that this place is mainly for takeaway.
6A Bonham Strand Another classic Sheung Wan eatery, K-Roll offers all your favourite Korean dishes, fuss-free. We love the quaint shop as well!
Shop B2, G/F, Centre Mark II, 305-313 Queen's Road Central Everyone loves poke bowls, so you can imagine our elation when Pololi opened up their second location quite literally downstairs at Garage QRC.
2/F-3/F, 46-50 Des Voeux Road West Simply put, this is hands down one of the best char siu places in Hong Kong. You know what they say: when in Hong Kong…you eat Char Siu.
Coming Soon! Our new location in Sai Ying Pun, Garage Collective, will have its own F&B offerings. Be sure to follow us on Facebook or Instagram to keep up to date as we reveal all the exciting features of the space!
