At Butter Bar, the butter gets top billing. The new Sai Kung café is set for a soft opening on 16 November, with a counter displaying eight varieties to pair with toast.
The menu moves between familiar combinations and less expected ones, from honey and mustard to matcha and nori. Beyond the spreads, there are toasted sandwiches, pastries and coffee. The space has a long communal table and window-side seating, with panes looking out towards the trees around Dock 1A.
Butter is the headline act here, and the line-up isn’t fixed. The house version has a gentle applewood smokiness. Alongside it, seven flavours are listed: honey and mustard, spicy fuyu made with fermented beancurd, matcha and nori, nai jeung toast, mocha, lava custard, and lemon and basil. The seasonal selection changes, so the exact choice may vary.
The toast options keep ordering simple:
- HK$35 – House butter with toast
- HK$45 – Seasonal butter with toast
- HK$78 – Butter Flight with three chosen butters and thick-cut sourdough
- HK$18 – Extra butter
If you’re after a bigger bite, the sandwich menu includes mushroom and garlic with provolone and parsley (HK$88), smoked salmon and egg with lemon and basil butter (HK$118), and mortadella and provolone with honey and mustard butter (HK$118).
The pastry selection features plain croissants (HK$25), pain au chocolat (HK$28), cinnamon rolls with house butter glaze (HK$55) and banana bread with house butter (HK$48).
Drinks include espresso (HK$20), hot or iced matcha lattes (HK$35 and HK$38), and Hong Kong-style milk tea and lemon tea on tap (HK$25 each). Drinks made at the bar are available with dairy or oat milk at no extra charge.
