10 of The Best Tiramisu in Hong Kong (2026)

It has been nearly 10 years since I last wrote about my favorite Italian dessert and where to get them in Hong Kong. A lot of these places have come and gone in the past decade so I thought I should refresh this list to reflect my top 10 tiramisu in Hong Kong now.



1) Tosca
Tosca has always got one of the best traditional tiramisu in town with the picture perfect texture. The fact that they've added limoncello, a lemon-flavored Italian liqueur, has made this even more refreshing and irresistible.

A recent review of my meal at Tosca can be found here.

2) Grissini
The signature Tiramisu All'Amaretto at Grissini in the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong is widely regarded as one of the best in the city. Celebrated for its traditional preparation and intense flavor profile, it delivers a truly memorable experience.

A generous splash of Amaretto, combined with super fluffy sabayon and rich, creamy Galbani mascarpone, creates a delightful harmony of flavors. Adding to the elegance of the experience, the tiramisu is served tableside, elegantly scooped from a large ceramic bowl.

3) Carna by Dario Cecchini
The Tiramisù di Casa at Carna by Dario Cecchini is one of the restaurant's most celebrated signature dishes and has quickly became one of my recent favorites in town. Renowned for its impressive presentation and traditional Italian flavors, it is frequently hailed by diners as one of the best in Hong Kong.

The dessert features thick, velvety mascarpone cream and Savoiardi biscuits soaked in aromatic coffee, all combined with chocolate for a decadent finish. With its generous portion, it can easily be shared among three to four people.

Address: 39/F, Mondrian Hotel, 8A Hart Avenue, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong

4) Cannubi Enoteca Cucina
The Classic Tiramisu at Cannubi Enoteca Cucina in K11 Musea is a signature dessert that exemplifies the culinary expertise of 3-Michelin-starred chef Umberto Bombana.

The exquisite dish features a lavish combination of silky mascarpone, a home-blend coffee and traditional ladyfingers. The result is a beautifully balanced dessert, highlighting the satisfying interplay of coffee and cream.


Address: Shop 113A, 1/F, K11 Musea, Victoria Dockside, 18 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
Tel: +852 2133-4903



5) BluHouse
BluHouse at Rosewood Hong Kong is widely celebrated for its tiramisu, presenting an authentic and thoughtfully crafted interpretation of this classic Italian dessert.

The recipe features traditional ladyfingers, espresso, and dark cocoa, but what sets it apart is the unique twist of "Eggnog" Zabaione. Known for its slightly firmer texture rather than a light and airy consistency, this dessert guarantees a creamy, indulgent, and thoroughly satisfying experience.

A recent review of my meal at BluHouse can be found here.

Address: G/F, Rosewood Hong Kong, 18 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
Tel: +852 3891-8732




6) Pici
The tiramisu at Pici, a popular pasta bar by the Pirata Group in Hong Kong, is billed as a "unfussy" dessert served in a simple, rustic glass.

This classic Italian recipe features layers of creamy mascarpone, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and a dusting of cocoa powder, offering a delightful experience that embodies a "less-is-more" ethos.

A recent review of my meal at Pici can be found here.

Address: Shop G03, G/F, D2 Place TWO, 15 Cheung Shun Street, Lai Chi Kok, Hong Kong
Tel: +852 2557-7009



7) Ask for Alonzo
Alonzo’s signature tiramisu is a staple dessert at Ask for Alonzo, a popular modern Italian trattoria with multiple locations in Hong Kong.

The dessert features a relatively light mascarpone mousse, espresso-kissed savoiardi biscuits, and a subtle touch of Marsala wine, creating a delicate balance between sweetness and bitterness. Its texture is ideal for those who prefer a custardy consistency over a fluffy, foamy one.

A recent review of my meal at Ask for Alonzo can be found here.

Address: Shop 19, G/F, Hang Fung Mansion, 17-19 Wong Nai Chung Road, Happy Valley, Hong Kong
Tel: +852 2891-2236



8) Zozzona
The Japanese-Italian fusion bistro offers a "Tokyo counter-style" tiramisu that stands apart from those typically found in traditional pastry shops. Like the one at Grissini, it is served tableside and scooped directly onto guests' plates.

The recipe here features a creamy mascarpone and rich Marsala sabayon, all finished with a delicate dusting of cocoa powder. While it may be considered slightly moist, it evokes memories of some of the best tiramisu I've tasted on the streets of Rome.


Address: Flat A, G/F, 29-31 Hillwood Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
Tel: +852 7073-8825



9) Check In Taipei (臺北棧)
Taro-misu (芋泥提拉米蘇) is a signature creative fusion dessert at Check-In Taipei, a modern Taiwanese restaurant with locations in Harbour City (Tsim Sha Tsui), Causeway Bay, and Central.

This dessert puts a Taiwanese twist on the classic Italian tiramisu by substituting traditional flavors with creamy, vanilla-like, mildly earthy taro. It features a thick, velvety layer of homemade taro purée placed directly over the ladyfingers, offering a dense, natural sweetness and an "extra kick" of taro flavor.

While it retains classic tiramisu components like mascarpone cream, ladyfingers, and Marsala wine, Taro-misu truly stands out with its vibrant purple hue, achieved by replacing cocoa powder with vivid purple taro powder.

A recent review of my meal at Check In Taipei can be found here.

Address: Shop 2204-6, 2/F, Harbour City, Gateway Arcade, 5 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
Tel: +852 3595-0995



10) Minimal (迷你毛)
A hidden gem in Sham Shui Po, Minimal presents its "non-traditional" tiramisu with a unique presentation and flavor profile. Often referred to by patrons as a "Tiramisu Ball" due to its spherical shape, this dessert offers a fresh take on the classic.

While retaining many of the traditional tiramisu ingredients, this version delivers a more pronounced coffee and Amaretto flavor, with a texture reminiscent of frosty ice cream.


Address: G/F, 121-123 Apliu Street, Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong

Yung Kee 容記小菜王 (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

It’s been two weeks since I last met up with mom so I decided to ring her up to check up on her this afternoon. When I reached her, she was home doing nothing special. A late lunch together perhaps? Since she’s a fan of traditional dim sum, I immediately knew where to meet up, this old Chinese restaurant near her place  Yung Kee (容記小菜王).


This is an area that I know fairly well from my childhood days. My grandma used to live just a stone’s throw away, and so did my aunt and uncles. Every time I stopped by, it felt like a walk down memory lane.



Steamed rice rolls (軟滑白腸粉) — The picture looked really nice on the menu but it arrived in a slightly disappointing state without the sauce. It took a while but we finally got our condiments.


Pan-fried turnip cake (香煎蘿蔔糕) — The texture was quite nice, but it could have used more Chinese sausage and mushrooms to elevate the dish.


Steamed shrimp dumpling (太子蝦餃皇) — This was decent. For a traditional dim sum place, I expected it to be packed with coriander, but it came with diced shrimp, shrimp mousse, and crunchy bamboo shoots only. 


Steamed shrimp dumpling with spinach (鮮蝦菜苗餃) — Mom wanted some veggies and of course, I am happy to oblige with this dish.


Steamed chicken with mushroom and fish maw (北菇棉花雞) — OK.


Catching up with my mom was wonderful, and it felt even better to revisit a neighborhood that used to be so significant to my childhood. Perhaps, I should come here more often.

Zozzona (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★★☆

Inspired by Tokyo's neighborhood pasta bars, Zozzona is a recently opened Japanese-Italian pasta joint nestled between Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui that has quickly gained popularity among the younger generation of diners. This modern bistro specializes in fresh, handmade pasta, served in a casual vibe perfect for sharing among larger groups.


Zozzona opens at 5:00pm for dinner service, and I wasted no time getting the first seating to satisfy my craving for handcrafted pasta dishes. Not surprisingly, I was the first to arrive.


The industrial-vibe space blends elements of a Japanese izakaya and an Italian bistro harmoniously. It serves a daily omakase menu as well as an à la carte menu. Interestingly, the starters, like Kagoshima hiramasa crudo and Akami tuna tataki, caught my eye before I even glanced at the pasta dishes.


Pappardelle wagyu beef ragù ($178) — It was a little early for a full dinner (starter + pasta or main), so I faced a dilemma in choosing between a simple pasta and a starter. In the end, I realized that it was inevitable for me to choose a pasta dish while visiting a pasta bar for the first time.


The pappardelle wasn't bad, but it didn't have the same freshness as the handmade pasta from my neighborhood pasta bar, Pici. That said, I did enjoy the generous portion of wagyu beef, the lone bright spot of the dish.


Tiramisu ($78) — After slurping up the flat white tiramisu at Page Common Coffee House less than an hour ago, it was time to check in on another tiramisu. This one was made with a more classic recipe.

Zozzona's tiramisu was supposed to be scooped from a ceramic container onto guests' plate but since I ordered it to go, I had to recreate the scene on my plate. I really enjoyed the larger proportion of creamy mascarpone and rich Marsala sabayon here with a smaller portion of ladyfinger biscuits. It was light, fluffy and full of flavors reminding me of some of the best tiramisu I've tasted on the streets of Rome (There was this place in Rome called Ristorante Alla Rampa that had the perfect "Lift Me Up").
