Like I said here, my mom and I went to Hong Kong and Macau for her birthday. To be honest, what I looked forward to the most in our itinerary was her surprise birthday dinner because I did my research and booked a window table waaay in advance. The anticipation killed me, bro. Haha! Here’s why: Cafe Gray Deluxe. It’s one of the top rated Hong Kong restaurants on TripAdvisor and upon looking at the photos and the reviews, one would expect it would cost a tooth and an arm to dine at such a posh restaurant. Fortunately for this working girl’s budget, they offer a 3-course Early Supper Menu which was significantly less pricier than dinner (HK$355++ vs HK$725++). Early supper begins at 6pm and you must turn over the table by 730pm. The “time limit” may seem daunting but believe me, I did not at all feel rushed and we had more than enough time to enjoy our meal – coffee and chitchat included. Best of all, you get to see the harbor in both its daylight and night time glory. 🙂
The food was alright (looove my dessert!), but more than anything, I think it’s the experience you pay for. The stunning view together with the excellent service makes this restaurant top notch. The wait staff was very attentive and they really took care of the diners, ensuring every detail was carefully attended to. When the manager came to check how our meal was, my mom gushed and enquired about the dipping sauce for the bread. She was already pleased with knowing what the ingredients were, only to be delighted further when the waiter brought over an additional serving. The chocolates at the end of the meal was also a nice touch, perfect ending for meal that was deluxe indeed. Will definitely go back the next time I’m in Hong Kong. 🙂
Cafe Gray Deluxe is located at Level 49, The Upper House, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Hong Kong
