Best Restaurants Open Monday in Hong Kong 2026

Why a Monday list works in Hong Kong's favour

The city's dining map is built differently from most. Its grandest Cantonese rooms sit inside the Four Seasons, the Langham and the big hotels, and those kitchens serve seven days because the hotels demand it. The independent tasting rooms tend to rest Sunday rather than Monday, so the start of the working week is a strong night to book. The one significant Monday closure at the top is Caprice, the French three-star, which runs Tuesday to Saturday.

The order below leads with the three-star Italian room, then the two three-star Cantonese kitchens, the two-star French room and the pair of one-star Cantonese tables in Central. Every hour was checked against each restaurant's published schedule in June 2026, and the Caprice closure was confirmed too. Each name links to its full review with the score. For the wider week, start with the Hong Kong dining guide, and for the weekend see restaurants open on Sunday in Hong Kong.

The Monday list

8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana

Italian · Central, Hong Kong · HK$2,000+ per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:00–14:30 & 18:30–22:30 (closed Sun)

8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana is the only Italian restaurant outside Italy to hold three Michelin stars, the Central room run by chef Umberto Bombana. The kitchen turns on handmade pasta, the tagliolini and the white Alba truffle in season the orders, with a meal well above HK$2,000 a head. It rests Sunday and opens Monday for both lunch and dinner, which makes it the marquee Monday tasting in the city. It is the pick for a Monday that wants the highest end without the formality of the hotel dining rooms. Book the counter or a corner table a week out and take the truffle menu when it runs.

Lung King Heen

Cantonese · Central (Four Seasons), Hong Kong · HK$700–1,800 per head

Monday hours: Monday, lunch 12:00–14:30 & dinner 18:00–22:00

Lung King Heen, on the fourth floor of the Four Seasons with the harbour at the window, was the first Chinese restaurant in the world to earn three Michelin stars, the kitchen led by chef Chan Yan Tak. The baked abalone puffs with diced chicken and the barbecued Iberico pork are the signatures, with lunch around HK$700 and dinner well above. The dim sum menu runs at weekday lunch, so Monday is the day to come for it. It is the pick for a classic three-star Cantonese lunch with a view of Victoria Harbour, and a fine room to entertain in.

T'ang Court

Cantonese · Tsim Sha Tsui (Langham), Hong Kong · HK$1,000–2,000 per head

Monday hours: Monday, lunch 12:00–15:00 & dinner 18:00–23:00

T'ang Court holds three Michelin stars across two floors of the Langham in Tsim Sha Tsui, the kitchen run by chef Kwong Wai Keung in a silk-draped room. The wok-fried prawns with crispy pork, the double-boiled soups and the sweet-and-sour pork are the orders, with a meal around HK$1,000 to HK$2,000 a head. It opens Monday for lunch and dinner. It is the pick for three-star Cantonese on the Kowloon side, a more intimate room than the harbour giants and the easier of the two three-star Cantonese tables to book on a Monday.

Amber

French · Central (Landmark Mandarin), Hong Kong · HK$2,000+ per head

Monday hours: Monday, lunch 12:00–14:00 & dinner from 18:00

Amber holds two Michelin stars on the seventh floor of the Landmark Mandarin Oriental, where chef Richard Ekkebus cooks a French tasting built without butter or cream, a reinvention he made years ago and never reversed. The sea urchin in lobster jelly with caviar is the dish the room is known for, with a meal above HK$2,000 a head. It opens Monday for lunch and dinner, the French answer on a day when Caprice is closed. It is the pick for a Monday that wants modern French at the highest level in Central, and the wine list is among the city's deepest.

The Chairman

Modern Cantonese · Central, Hong Kong · HK$900–1,400 per head

Monday hours: Monday, lunch 12:00–15:00 & dinner 18:00–23:00

The Chairman, a one-star modern Cantonese room on Wellington Street in Central, once topped Asia's 50 Best and built its name on sourcing from small Hong Kong farms and boats. The steamed flowery crab with aged Shaoxing wine and flat rice noodles is the signature, the free-range chicken and the smoked pigeon close behind, with a meal around HK$900 to HK$1,400 a head. It opens seven days, Monday included. It is the pick for a Monday that wants the city's most thoughtful Cantonese cooking rather than a hotel dining room, and it books out well ahead.

Ying Jee Club

Cantonese · Central, Hong Kong · HK$600–1,200 per head

Monday hours: Monday, lunch 11:30–15:00 & dinner 18:00–23:00

Ying Jee Club is a one-star Cantonese room on Connaught Road in Central, run by chef Siu Hin Chi, a kitchen known for refined Guangdong stir-fries and roast meats. The crispy chicken, the barbecued pork and the claypot rice are the orders, with a meal around HK$600 to HK$1,200 a head, gentler than the three-star rooms. It opens Monday for lunch and dinner. It is the value pick of this list and the easiest star to book at short notice on a Monday, a polished Central room for a working lunch or an unfussy dinner.

How to book a Monday table in Hong Kong

Because Monday is a genuine service night here rather than a dead one, the top rooms fill, so book ahead. 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana is the marquee Monday tasting and the one to reserve first, a week or more out for the counter. Lung King Heen and T'ang Court both serve Monday lunch and dinner, with the dim sum at Lung King Heen running only at weekday lunch, so Monday midday is the move there. Amber is the French pick on a day Caprice is closed. The Chairman and Ying Jee Club take Monday bookings readily, though The Chairman books out further. For a solo Monday, the counter at Otto e Mezzo and a single seat at Ying Jee Club are the easiest and a fine solo-dining move. Entertaining a client? Lung King Heen is the room to impress a client in Hong Kong; for a group, T'ang Court seats a crowd for a Hong Kong team dinner.
