    This tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant is exactly the kind of pizza place you’d find in the streets of Italy and serves Neapolitan-style pizzas. This casual Sheung Wan restaurant is named after its founder, native Italian Jacobo Maximilano, who found the love of his life in Hong Kong. Pizzas come in fusion flavours like the Mexico x Sicilia with guacamole and nduja or the Ikura storm with premium ikura (red caviar) and lemon zest, and are offered at 12 inches (ranging from HK$168 to HK$208) which can be paired with a variety of traditional Italian starters, beers, and cocktails. All ingredients are sourced from Italy, making it one of the most authentic Neapolitan-style pizzerias in Hong Kong.

    Bonheur — French

    It is no secret that French restaurants in Hong Kong can be a little pricey. Hidden in Sheung Wan, this little gem serves French cuisine at relatively affordable prices. A prix-fixe three or four-course dinner menu (HK$658 and HK$718 respectively) includes appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The Iberico pork, lobster pasta, sea bass, and mango mille-feuille are popular among diners. Whether you’re planning a romantic date night or a party, feel free to bring your favourite bottle of wine along as they don’t charge any corkage fee.

    Dragon State Kitchen Restaurant — BBQ meats

    Famed for its “char siu”, or honey-glazed BBQ pork, this Sheung Wan eatery serves some of Hong Kong’s most iconic local dishes. Dragon State Kitchen serves up a wide selection of crispy pork, roast goose, and other Hong Kong-style BBQ meats ranging from HK$55 to HK$67 for one to two kinds of meat. Whether you are looking to try some classic BBQ dishes or aromatic innards, stop by this Chinese BBQ restaurant for some of the best authentic Hong Kong food in Sheung Wan.
