Best Tasting Menus Under $200 in Hong Kong 2026

Tasting menus under $200 · Hong Kong · 7 menus ranked · Updated May 2026

Compiled by the Restaurants for Kings editorial team · Published March 18, 2026 · Updated May 21, 2026

Seven tasting menus in Hong Kong, none over HK$1,560 a head before drinks, every one cooked by a kitchen the Michelin inspectors already know. The city wears a reputation for HK$3,000 dinners, and most of the marquee rooms earn it, but the better value sits a floor below the headline names: a Simon Rogan import in Causeway Bay, a Venezuelan one-star in Central, a Korean counter that charges less at lunch than most bistros. We capped this list at roughly two hundred US dollars per person, food only, and ranked on what the money buys rather than on stars alone. These are the menus to book for fine-dining cooking without the four-figure cheque.

1.Hansik Goo

Contemporary Korean · Central · One MICHELIN star

Mingoo Kang's one-star Korean counter, dinner tasting at HK$1,480; the most refined value in Central. Book it for a quiet splurge.

Hansik Goo is chef Mingoo Kang's first restaurant outside Korea, a sibling to his two-Michelin-star Mingles in Seoul, and it holds one Michelin star of its own at The Wellington on Wellington Street in Central. The dinner tasting runs HK$1,480, around US$190, and the set lunch drops to HK$588, which is the real steal. The cooking is contemporary Korean built on jang, the aged fermented pastes, with the abalone-wrapped dumpling and the pyeonyuk pressed beef among the courses that recur. Book the Wednesday-to-Friday lunch for the kitchen's range at the lowest price, and reserve a week out for a weekend dinner.

Book on the Hansik Goo site; lunch is the value play.

2.Roganic

Farm-to-table · Causeway Bay · One MICHELIN star + Green Star

Simon Rogan's sustainable one-star, full tasting HK$1,380; a HK$520 three-course lunch undercuts the whole field. Try it for the produce.

Roganic is British chef Simon Rogan's Hong Kong import, run day to day by executive chef Oli Marlow, and it moved in 2025 to a larger room at Lee Garden One in Causeway Bay. It carries one Michelin star and a Michelin Green Star for a zero-waste, locally sourced kitchen. The lunch and dinner tasting menu is HK$1,380, about US$177, while the three-course set lunch at HK$520 is one of the best fine-dining bargains in the city. Expect a run of snacks, a starter, an intermediate course, a main and two desserts, all built on Hong Kong farms and the restaurant's own preservation larder. Book the weekday lunch for the lowest entry price, and ask for a counter seat.

3.Mono

Latin American · Central · One MICHELIN star

Ricardo Chaneton's Latin American counter, dinner tasting HK$1,280, the first Michelin star ever won for Venezuela. Book it once.

Mono is chef Ricardo Chaneton's Central restaurant, and when it earned its Michelin star in 2022 it became the first star awarded to a Venezuelan chef. Chaneton cooked previously as executive chef of Petrus in Hong Kong and spent years as the longest-serving cook at Mauro Colagreco's three-star Mirazur. The dinner tasting is HK$1,280, around US$164, for eight to ten courses, with a seven-course lunch at HK$1,080, both anchored on South American ingredients and French technique and often themed around single elements like the cacao dessert. The thirty-seat room is built around a chef's counter, so dinner doubles as a chef's-table night. Book the counter two to three weeks ahead and sit where you can watch the pass.

Book on the Mono site; request the counter.

4.Estro

Italian · Central · One MICHELIN star

Antimo Merone's one-star Italian, set lunch from HK$680; Amalfi cooking at a fraction of the dinner cheque. Pencil it in for lunch.

Estro is chef Antimo Maria Merone's first restaurant, opened with JIA Group and holding one Michelin star at 1 Duddell Street in Central. Merone cooks the food of his native Campania and the Amalfi coast, and while the dinner tasting climbs to HK$1,580 and beyond, the set lunch is the value entry: three courses at HK$680, four at HK$780, five at HK$980, each built around his pasta. There is also a private chef's-table Music Room for groups. Book a Tuesday-to-Saturday lunch, take the five-course option for the fullest read on the kitchen, and ask which pasta is running that day.

Book lunch on the Estro site.

5.Above & Beyond

Cantonese · Tsim Sha Tsui East · MICHELIN-recommended

Chi Ki Wong's Cantonese set with a whole Peking duck at HK$828; skyline Chinese dining for under half the marquee price. Book it for value.

Above & Beyond sits on the twenty-eighth floor of Hotel ICON in Tsim Sha Tsui East, a Michelin-recommended Cantonese room that has held its place in the city's Chinese fine-dining tier for more than a decade. Executive chef Chi Ki Wong builds a series of generous tasting sets, and the value pick is the Peking duck set at HK$828, about US$106, where a lacquered whole bird anchors a run of refined Cantonese courses. The harbour-and-skyline view does as much for the evening as the cooking, and this is the list's gentlest cheque by some distance. Book a window table near sunset, and order the duck set rather than going a la carte.

Book the Peking duck set through Hotel ICON dining.

6.Rêveri

Contemporary French · Sheung Wan · East-meets-West

John Law's husband-and-wife room, dinner tasting from HK$888; French technique with a Japanese hand. Reserve it for a low-key date.

Rêveri is the project of husband-and-wife founders John Law and Jessica Kesumo, with John on the stove and Jessica running the floor, on Mercer Street in Sheung Wan. The dinner tasting menus start at HK$888, around US$114, rooted in classic French cooking but turned by Law's pan-Asian instinct and his use of seasonal Japanese produce. The signature truffle brioche, topped with lightly seared scallop, aged Cheddar and scallion oil, is the dish regulars come back for. The room is small and personal, the kind of place that suits a relationship dinner more than a business one. Book a corner two-top, and go on a weeknight when the pace is easiest.

Book on the Rêveri site.

7.Leela

Modern Indian · Causeway Bay · JIA Group

Manav Tuli's modern Indian tasting at HK$888, the city's best-value fine-dining curry; try it for the spice.

Leela opened in 2023 when chef Manav Tuli left CHAAT at Rosewood Hong Kong to start his own room with JIA Group at Lee Garden Three in Causeway Bay. His six-course tasting is HK$888, around US$114, a tour through regional India that moves from a baked Chettinad duck samosa to coconut sea bass, honey-sesame pork and a smoked butter chicken that has become the kitchen's calling card. The quality of the local seafood and vegetables on the plate is what makes the price look almost low. Book through SevenRooms a week ahead, and take the full tasting rather than a la carte to see the chef's range.

Book on SevenRooms.

Over the line, this time

Great rooms, wrong budget

VEA. Vicky Cheng's counter on the 30th floor of The Wellington is one of the best in Hong Kong, but its tasting menus run HK$1,880 to HK$2,280, which puts it over our cap. Save it for the night you are not counting, and meet it on the chef's-table list instead.

Caprice and Amber. The Central three-star French rooms are superb and beside the point here: both run well past HK$2,500 for the tasting. Book them for the wine and the occasion, not the value. They lead our Hong Kong wine-list ranking for a reason.

8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana. Umberto Bombana's three-star Italian is closed for renovation through 2026, and even open its menus sit far above two hundred dollars. Not a value option, and not a live one right now.

How to book a value tasting in Hong Kong

The cheat code in Hong Kong is lunch. Almost every kitchen on this list charges far less at midday than at night for cooking from the same brigade, so Roganic's HK$520 set, Estro's HK$680 lunch and Hansik Goo's HK$588 lunch are the lowest doors into a Michelin kitchen in the city. Book weekday lunches, which are easier to land and cheaper than weekends, and reserve on the restaurants' own sites or through SevenRooms and inline.app rather than by phone; two weeks of lead time covers all but the counters.

For the counters at Mono and Roganic, ask for a seat at the pass when you book. Drinks are where a bill escapes a budget, so if you are holding to two hundred dollars a head, decide on wine by the glass or a single bottle before you sit. Service is a flat ten percent on the cheque, and nothing more is expected on top.

Frequently asked

What is the best-value tasting menu in Hong Kong?

Roganic's three-course set lunch at HK$520 is the single best fine-dining bargain in the city, a Michelin-starred and Green-Star kitchen for the price of a casual bistro. For a full tasting under two hundred US dollars, Mono's HK$1,280 dinner and Hansik Goo's HK$1,480 dinner are the picks. At lunch, Hansik Goo drops to HK$588 and Estro to HK$680, both from one-star kitchens.

Are there Michelin-starred tasting menus under HK$1,000 in Hong Kong?

Yes, mostly at lunch. Roganic's three-course set lunch is HK$520 and Hansik Goo's set lunch is HK$588, both from one-Michelin-star kitchens, and Estro's set lunch starts at HK$680. At dinner the starred rooms climb above HK$1,000, so the sub-HK$1,000 deals are a midday play. Above & Beyond's HK$828 Peking duck set is the cheapest full Chinese tasting on this list.

How much does a tasting menu cost in Hong Kong?

Headline fine-dining tasting menus in Hong Kong regularly run HK$2,000 to HK$3,500 a head before drinks. The value tier this ranking covers sits under HK$1,560, roughly two hundred US dollars: Mono at HK$1,280, Roganic at HK$1,380 and Hansik Goo at HK$1,480 for dinner, plus a clutch of set lunches between HK$520 and HK$980. Drinks and the ten percent service charge are extra.

Which Hong Kong tasting menu is cheapest for dinner?

Above & Beyond's Peking duck set at HK$828 is the cheapest full tasting here at dinner, followed by Rêveri and Leela at HK$888 each. Among the Michelin-starred dinner tastings, Mono is the lowest at HK$1,280. All sit comfortably under two hundred US dollars a head before wine and service.

Do you need to book Hong Kong tasting menus in advance?

Two weeks of lead time covers almost everything on this list, and weekday lunches can often be had with a few days' notice. The counters at Mono and Roganic are the exception, since their best seats go first, so request the pass when you reserve. Most rooms book on their own websites or through SevenRooms and inline.app rather than by phone.
