It’s hard to keep track of restaurants in Sai Ying Pun, but Flying Pig Bistro on High Street is one that you don’t want to miss. It should be at the top of the pile, actually, as the love child of founder Christopher Przemyski. The sensational food here is no surprise, nor are the buzzing crowds, but a few characteristic twists set Flying Pig Bistro apart, mostly on the plate – where specially imported European products as well as fresh local produce and some Asian flavourings are put to use. Przemyski’s menu is something special, from Sunday roast and boozy brunches to fresh pastas, bright salads (try the quinoa salad with lime & honey dressing) and suckling pig. See under Further Information for Flying Pig Bistro’s special menus!

If Sai Ying Pun is Hong Kong’s new sexy district, blossoming into a foodie paradise thanks to the new MTR station and a general dawning awareness of the Western District’s hidden riches, then La Paloma (Spanish for pigeon) is certainly the area’s most sexy Spanish tapas restaurant.

Book a spot at La Paloma’s Queen’s Road West premises (on the corner of Li Sing Street) and witness El Willy’s Andalusian magic at work. 假如西營盤是香港的新寵美食區，La Paloma（即鴿子）想必是該區最得寵的西班牙小食餐廳。坐擁3500呎的空間，位於皇后大道西的餐廳把El Willy集團的魔力發揮得淋灕盡緻。
