Hong Kong Travel - Romantic rstaurants in Asia's World City

With its chaotic jungle of neon signs, fairly ugly residential skyscrapers, and the ever increasing problem of smog coming from neighboring China, Hong Kong is probably not the first thing that comes to your mind when thinking about a romantic destination... However, the city's mountainous terrain and its world-famous metropolitan skyline, set a perfect background for some of Asia's most romantic spots.

This article will take you through 10 restaurants and nightspots in Hong Kong that are surely to melt your lover's heart.

• Aqua Spirit From its prime position, on the 30th floor of a Tsim sha Tsui tower, this contemporary bar provides some of the best views you can get from Kowloon's side. Together with its stylish and fairly comfortable ambience, it is one of the best spots in Tsim sha Tsui for a sunset cocktail or an after dinner drink.

• Caprice, Four Seasons Hotel Located in the swanky Four Seasons, Caprice serves fine French cuisine with a lighter touch, in a marvelous atmosphere... Beautiful classic-contemporary decor, lovely harbour views, perfect table settings and an open kitchen that allows the appetizing cooking aromas to flow to the dining area, are all setting the background for a memorable romantic dinner.

• Chesa Chesa may not provide the stunning harbour views of some of its counterparts, but what it lacks in panoramic views, it makes up for in delicious food and lovely, cozy ambience. Specializing in Swiss and central European cuisine, the restaurant features a romantic European decor, with plenty of wood, and elegant table settings... Cheese fondue, Swiss chocolate-rich desserts and a decent choice of wines make it a popular destination for loving couples.

• One - thirty one Nestled on the shores of one of Hong Kong's most picturesque and romantic coves, this rustic French boutique restaurant occupies a converted village house, with beamed ceiling, polished wood floor, and large windows through which you can admire the views of the mountains-surrounded bay.

• Restaurant Petrus Perched on the 56th floor of The Island Shangri-la hotel in Wanchai, this ultra-elegant French restaurant really sets the standard for romantic fine dining in Hong Kong. Stunning harbour views and lavish decor, with heavy chandeliers and glamorous table settings, create the right backdrop for an unforgettable dinner, dominated by the classics of French cuisine, and some of the world's top wines.

• Gaddi's Located in the world's famous Peninsula Hotel, Gaddi's is another Hong Kong culinary icon, and although it doesn't provide any panoramic views or a lovely alfresco courtyard, it boasts a marvelous and opulent interior decor that helps to create the romantic atmosphere for which this French restaurant is so much known.

• The "Terrace" at Sevva Perched at the penthouse level of Prince's Building, in Central, Sevva is a stylish and contemporary restaurant-lounge, with a fantastic outdoor terrace where you can unwind on a comfy couch and enjoy a sundowner against the beautiful backdrop of Victoria Harbour. It's also an excellent spot to watch the "Symphony of Lights" show from...

• Tuscany by H Tuscany by H serves superb Tuscan cuisine, with a slight modern twist, in a refined and elegant ambiance that stands in complete contrast to the hustle and bustle of surrounding Lan Kwai Fong... Created by Hong Kong's celebrity-chef, Harlan Goldstein, the restaurant uses top quality Italian ingredients to produce some superb culinary creations.

• The Verandah Restaurant - Repulse Bay Hotel Facing Hong Kong Island's southern shore, this fantastic restaurant revives the elegance and charm of bygone colonial days... Beautiful Ocean views, tuxedoed waiters, crisp white table cloths, candles on the tables and, above all, fantastic European-French food... Who can ask for anything else?

• Le Marron This small private kitchen restaurant is one of Wanchai's best kept secrets. Tacked on the 12th floor of an ordinary commercial building, you can't really know anything about Le Marron until the door is open and you find yourself stepping into a small piece of classic France, right in the middle of one of Hong Kong's busiest districts...  Fine lace curtains, antiques, heavy furniture and Parisian bric-a-brac set the tone in this tiny restaurant and create the right ambiance for a sensational French dinner of Escargot, Foie Gras, Duck Confit and other favorites.
