The Verandah, 109 Repulse Bay Rd., Hong Kong, China; Phone: 2812-2722, $38 to $64, Repulse Bay, Contemporary. This spot is an unashamed celebration of the halcyon days of colonial rule: fans spin silently high overhead, champagne-cocktail trolleys cross the cool, granite-tile floor, and tuxedoed waiters attend to your every whim. Highlights here are the excellent Sunday brunch and daily afternoon tea. The place comes into its own at night, however, when the chef designs innovative and impressive combinations. Boston lobster with scrambled egg topped with sevruga caviar, for instance, perfectly blends the essence of each of the three ingredients. Other culinary specialties include mustard-crumbled rack of lamb, giant sea scallops with green asparagus and basil, and slowly braised Atlantic salmon with Burgundy snail ragout. For dessert, The Verandah's soufflé is a classic. AE, DC, MC, V.

Built in 1888 as a workshop for tram engineers, this colonial granite building was transformed into a café-restaurant in 1989. The outdoor dining area is a treat for alfresco enthusiasts. Favorite meals include a fragrant Thai duck curry, succulent satays, and a nightly barbecue. A tandoor turns out beautiful naan breads and various tandoori dishes. Reservations essential.
