Landau's, Hong Kong

Brightly decorated inside, the wicker chairs and tropical atmosphere transport guests out of Central and into more balmy realms. A two-course meal costs around HK$165 and at the weekend all a la carte items are discounted. The lunchtime special, Lunch on the Run, offers money back if your food is not served within an hour, an odd suggestion since any restaurant worth its sauce should be able to meet this deadline. Try the superb swordfish with red wine risotto, wild thyme and green asparagus for HK$165. Happy Hour: 4pm-8pm (50 percent off standard drinks).
