New Hong Kong Restaurants and Cafés to Visit this December
Hong Kong’s dining and café scene never sleeps; every week brings something new, something bold, something worth wandering for. From Seoul-style cafés to New York pizza slices and Mediterranean soul food, here’s what’s catching our eye this month. From cozy new cafés to refined restaurants and casual slice shops, Hong Kong’s F&B scene is as dynamic as ever. Whether you’re looking for your next coffee spot, a glass of wine with friends, or a perfect weekday lunch, these openings prove there’s always something new, and delicious, waiting to be discovered.
Moonary Coffee
For those who crave quiet moments over caffeine, Moonary Coffee is your new go-to hideaway. Tucked along Aberdeen Street, this minimalist café is all about stillness and simplicity; a space where you can pause, breathe, and sip slowly. The drinks keep it classic: expertly brewed espressos, smooth lattes, and hand-drip coffees that remind you what good coffee should taste like.
Address: G/F, 25 Aberdeen Street, Central
Hours: Monday to Sunday: 9AM – 7PM
Carmela
From the team behind FRANCIS and FRANCIS West, Carmela brings Southern Mediterranean warmth to Sheung Wan. It’s an elegant yet easygoing restaurant where rustic pasta, grilled seafood, and fresh bread meet great wine and even better company. The vibe is relaxed, sunlit, and effortlessly stylish — the kind of spot that makes you want to linger over one more glass.
Address: Shop G06, Nan Fung Place, 173 Des Voeux Road Central, Central

Peak Pizza
Slice lovers, rejoice, Peak Pizza has arrived at Exchange Square, right next to La Vache!.

Haus Coffee Club
Playful, trendy, and distinctly Korean, Haus Coffee Club is the kind of café that makes an impression from the first sip. Their drinks are cheeky but crafted — from the Butter Cream Latte and Banana Bread Latte to the Honey Latte, each cup is part treat, part conversation starter. With good food, chill vibes, and a wink of humour, it’s the kind of spot that makes a simple coffee run feel like a mood.
