5R

Mention of French cuisine evokes a certain level of quality, particular presentation and ostentatious indulgence, a reputation for excellence that largely holds true wherever you may find it – be that a fine-dining restaurant in New York, a bistro on the Seine’s Left Bank, or hidden on the fourth floor of a building wedged between the towering blocks of Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay. 5R is an exclusive eatery showcasing everything for which French haute cuisine garnered its reputation: elegance, refined techniques, faultless presentation and rich tastes. This semi-secret hideaway on Lockhart Road is a must for French food lovers, but its limited capacity means you should book well in advance to get your lips around a lobster thermidor, fried foie gras, tangy lemon tart, wafer thin crepes or one of many other French classics on offer at 5R.
