Peak Lookout

Hong Kong


This 60-year-old colonial establishment has more character than all the other Peak restaurants combined, and it's the only place to eat up here that's not inside a mall. It's looking a little shabby around the edges these days, but the food is still good – especially the western selections – and the views from the outdoor terrace are worth lingering over.
