"Step into another era here with antique fans, champagne-cocktail trolleys, cool, granite-tile floors and palm trees waving through the arched teak windows. Tuxedoed waiters attend to your every whim at this unashamed celebration of the halcyon days of colonial rule, which also serves an excellent Sunday brunch and daily afternoon tea."
N/A, Fodor's - March 2007 |
"...For a touch of real luxury, though, the black truffle and champagne fondue is made with Emmental and Tilsiter cheeses, though mustard heads will more likely go for Gruyere and Emmental with pommery, Dijon and English mustards. A bread of your choice from sourdough, French or rye accompanies all fondues during dinner hours. If you want to indulge that sweet tooth, try the Lindt chocolate fondue served with brioche, berries, fruits and marshmallows. The chocolate fondue is available from afternoon tea onwards...."

"Faux colonial splendour and the perfect drop-in if you're way down south in Stanley. There's also a great sunday brunch, but book ahead."
Luxe Hong Kong & Macau, Luxe Asia Limit - January 2007 |
"A $70 taxi ride away from the din of the city, relax with soft piano music, candelabras and slow fans in this celegant faux-colonial restaurant overlooking the sea...The Verandah's outstanding reputation rests on its traditional menu of fine culinary classic prepared by its French executive chef..."
Hong Kong Tatler, Hong Kong's Best Restaurants 2007 - October 2006 |
"A superb romantic setting inside the landmark Repulse Bay Hotel, with lazy overhead fans and stately decor, the Verandah is a blast from the colonial past. The view of bay is sublime, the food classic and the list of wines and digests extensive."
Lesley McCave, Time Out Guides Hong Kong - December 2005 |
"Follow the sweeping drive through the well-tended tropical gardens and enter the delightful art deco dining room, with gorgeous views out across the South China Sea. The menu offers serious, highly professional European fine dining. It's expensive, but curious travellers could drop in for tea or drinks on the way to Stanley."
Roger Cave, Insight Guide Hong Kong - December 2005 |
“Unless you like beaches (there's a popular one here at Repulse Bay), this wonderful, veranda-like restaurant is the only reason to venture to this destination on Hong Kong Island's south side, though you do pass it by on your way to Stanley. In any case, with its excellent service, great food, and wonderful ambience, this is a very civilized place; you'll want to linger.”
Beth Reiber, Frommer's Hong Kong - December 2005 |
"It features Hong Kong's most famous Sunday spread, with main courses like eggs Benedict from a menu, a carving of the day, pasta cooked to order, sushi, dim sum, and more. If ever there were a place that inspired champagne for breakfast, this is it."
