Hong Kong
Run by British celebrity chef Jason Atherton, trendy Aberdeen St Social is really two restaurants in one. Downstairs is an all-day cafe where hip Sheung Wan dwellers eat avocado toast and fancy fish and chips on the patio. Upstairs is pricey, avant-garde dining (think smoked eel with foie gras). Its lunch deal is a snip compared with usual prices: HK$298 for three courses.
Happy hour runs 5pm to 8pm Sunday to Friday.
