Healthy eating isn’t limited to bland salads or carb-free meals—increasing research and understanding of different diets has led to a wealth of possibilities. Fine dining is no exception, with restaurants taking on new approaches to cuisine with healthier alternatives. Recent years have brought Hong Kong’s catalogue of healthy eating spots to new highs, from Michelin-starred eats to sustainable-driven cuisine. Here are some of the best healthy upscale restaurants to try—some old, some new—for a guilt-free indulgent experience.
Asaya Kitchen
Nestled within urban wellness sanctuary Rosewood Hong Kong, Asaya Kitchen showcases sustainably-sourced seafood and seasonal local produce to nourish and nurture its guests. The menu is mostly plant-based, with some pescatarian options, and can cater for vegan diets upon request. Taking an elevated approach to healthy dining, Asaya Kitchen is the go-to destination for nutritional cuisine, perhaps combined with a holistic pre- or post-meal treatment at the in-house spa.

Amber
Offering an innovative approach to French cuisine, Culinary Director Richard Ekkebus has set the bar for sustainable fine dining in the city thanks to his nourishing menu at Amber. The evolution of the Michelin-starred eatery at Landmark Mandarin Oriental led to a range of French and Asian-inspired dishes which stray from butter and saturated fats, and focus on milk alternatives and non-saturated plant-based oils. Gourmands can try the set lunch or dinner menus curated by expert chefs who have passion for teaching the public the importance of “green eating”.

Sevva
Popular for its stunning rooftop views, Sevva is a sophisticated gem perched atop LANDMARK shopping mall. Although the venue is frequented by cocktail seekers, the food menu is just as noteworthy—and it’s got a selection of healthy dishes to choose from. Guests can opt for some of the classics, from the hearty Caprese Salad SEVVA Style to the Vegetable Nub Nub, comprising ten varieties of vegetables and pickles served in a refreshing lettuce wrap.

Club Rangoon
Hong Kong’s first Burmese restaurant Club Rangoon is the latest addition to Soho’s diverse dining scene. Opening last year, the modern restaurant is helmed by Brazilian chef Karisa Cheque and founder Nelson Htoo who looks to his childhood for inspiration in the menu. Serving clean, seasonal dishes, the menu is a tribute to authentic Myanmar cuisine in an upscale setting—the tea leaf salad is a must.
