Soho is one of the best areas in Hong Kong for lunch and dinner, packed with restaurants, bars and cafes. Less rowdy than nearby Lan Kwai Fong, restaurants in Soho handle the glove from budget bites to credit card meltdown parties, with most mid-range and cheaper menus. While you can hunt down almost any cuisine in the world along the streets here, there is a large concentration of European and Western restaurants, and it is a good refuge, if you have had enough of Dim Sum and rice.
Most of the restaurants are clustered around the mid-level escalator between Queen’s Road Central and Hollywood Road. Soho actually means south of Hollywood Road, rather than having red light connotations. The heart of the district is Staunton Road and Elgin Road at the intersections with the mid-level escalator, where you will find several dozen knotted restaurants.
Keep an eye out for Happy Hours from around 5pm to 8pm, when bars drop the price of their drinks, and ‘tea sets’, which are essentially meal deals usually offered after lunch, in between 2 pm and 5 pm
