Dining with a big group? Here’s where to book for a crowd, including restaurants with private rooms and special set menus…

There’s nothing better than getting the gang together and heading out for a slap-up dining celebration — we’re talking anything from birthdays to baby showers and special dinners with your besties. Once you’ve found a date in the diary that works for everyone (no easy feat in Hong Kong!) the fun part is picking a place to eat at. As it can be tricky to find somewhere that accommodates larger groups, we’ve put together some stellar restaurant selections for you and your squad to celebrate all kinds of milestones.
