Best restaurants offering delivery and takeaways in Hong Kong

Just as restaurants and bars tentatively reopened for business in the last two months, they are once again boarded up as a third wave of coronavirus hits Hong Kong.

The latest social distancing rules, which took effect from July 29, denote a complete ban on dine-in service for at least seven days. This is yet another blow to an industry that is already struggling to stay afloat after months of uncertainty.

In these trying times, many restaurants have pivoted to offering delivery and takeaways. We’ve rounded up some of the best deals for a five-star dining experience at home, so you can show your support to your favourite venues.

Castellana

If you’re craving for some quality Italian comfort eats at home, you’ll be pleased to know that Castellana has launched a new takeaway and delivery service, Casa Castellana, for you to enjoy while staying in. The a la carte menu includes an array of the restaurant’s signature offerings including vitello tonnato, homemade tagliatelle with sea urchin and carbonara ‘au koque’ with gin-infused egg yolk. To get the best bang for the buck, order the three-course set menu for $280 or the four-course meal for $380. Because microwaving doesn’t always warm up your food nicely, the restaurant is thoughtful enough to include detailed instructions for reheating each dish over the pan.
