The Peak Lookout (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★★☆

The Peak Lookout recently re-opened its doors following a month-long refurbishment. The facelift involved extensive work on a new raised terrace which would help to provide a more spacious and stylish environment for al fresco dining. 

Apart from the cosmetic makeover, the restaurant also added a "Surf n Turf" section to their reportoire. This brand new section in the menu included beef skewers as well as other grilled meat items.

We haven't been to the Peak Lookout for a while now but with all these new incentives including a re-designed terrace and enriched menu, we decided to check it out this weekend.  

This attractive restaurant at the Peak, best known for being housed under a Grade II historic architecture, is also famous for its wide selection of comfort food including fresh oyster, sushi, tandoori, curry, sandwich, burger, seafood and chargrilled meat.





Perhaps we have picked the wrong time of the year to visit as the weather was a bit windy for al fresco dining. So instead of enjoying the newly refurnished terrace, we opted for a warmer indoor table under the glass roof.

We ordered a bunch of dishes to share including the classic caesar salad with chicken tikka, spaghetti carbonara, grilled steak burger, fish and chips etc. The Spaghetti carbonara was surprisingly good. Al dente, creamy and rich in flavor. I did not expect that from a non-Italian place like the Peak Lookout. The grilled steak burger, using exclusively Australian beef, was also something to die for (a bit exaggerated perhaps!?). Very juicy beef patty served with homemade buns and fries. The only blemish was the fish and chips which tasted a bit blant at times.
