Oolaa Central – Set lunch & burger set lunch menu

Hong Kong is home to many a dexterous brisk-walker, multitasker and working-luncher. So, when the rare opportunity arises for a slower, lingering lunch, there’s all the more reason to relish it! Oolaa’s sprawling dining space on Stanley Street, encased in floor-to-ceiling glass windows, makes for a comfortable venue for that coveted leisurely lunch. With two-course and three-course options on offer, the menu leans pan-European with vegetarian options.

Sassy Tip: The Central branch also offers a burger set lunch for $175, which includes an Oolaa Burger with either a starter or dessert. Did we mention that there is no service charge on the burger set and lunch sets?

Set lunch price: $205 for three courses; $175 for two courses
