    There are a LOT of al fresco bars and restaurants in this post. So to make it easier we’ve broken it down by area and you can click these links to jump straight to the area you’re interested in. A lot of these restaurants will be happy to serve you just a drink and many of the bars serve snacks or sharing plates.

    Al Fresco Eats – Hong Kong Island Central & Western

    Arcane

    outdoor area at Arcane, Hong Kong
    Arcane

    Lush greenery surrounds you as you sit in Arcane’s beautiful English-style outdoor terrace, tucked away in a surprisingly quiet part of Central. Modern European cuisine is served under the helm of multi-award winning Australian chef Shane Osborn, who uses 30 different varieties of herbs, fruits and vegetables grown in the outdoor garden you’re sitting in.

    Where:   3/F, 18 On Lan Street, Central

    Book:     2728 0178

    ON Dining Kitchen & Lounge

    Terrace at ON Dining, Hong Kong
    ON Dining

    This outdoor lounge high on the 29th floor above Central reminds us of Don Draper’s living room – sleek wooden coffee tables, cushy leather stools and brightly coloured cushions with dark oranges and reds that hark back to the 1960s. They’re known for their modern Mediterranean food (snack menu on the terrace), large selection of cheese and an extensive wine list, so you may be there a while, which is no problem as the wraparound sofa is very inviting.

    Where:   29/F, 18 On Lan Street, Central

    Book:      2174 8100 or [email protected]

    Brick Lane

    brick-lane-admiralty_terrace_1
    Brick Lane

    If you want harbour views, al fresco seating and little taste of England, then head to the Admiralty branch of Brick Lane. Expect all day breakfasts, comfort food and good coffee all in a relaxed and bright setting.  The terrace is huge and as well as being a great place for dinner, it’s also perfect for afternoon or after work drinks.

    Where:    Shop 404, 4/F, CITIC Tower, 1 Tim Mei Avenue, Tamar Site, Admiralty

    Book:      2363 2500, or

    Cassio

    al fresco seating at cassio
    Cassio

    Hangout with the cool kids, sink into the comfy sofas on Cassio’s terrace above LKF and listen to music from old school hip-hop to Latin jazz and disco to salsa. The contemporary Spanish tapas menu was inspired by famous London restaurant Barrafina and there’s a creative cocktail list too.

    Where:    2/F LKF Tower, 33 Wyndham Street, Central

    Book:      3792 0129
