Bresola - Kennedy Town

The Kennedy Town corner of Hong Kong is slowly growing its reputation for great restaurants among the city’s foodie fans. In what was one of the city’s sleepiest districts, a number of great restaurants have sprung up in recent years offering everything from sushi to pizza. At Bresola, on Catchick Street, there’s Italian food with splashes of other western influences to bring diners a chic, relaxed dining experience in this part of town.

Bresola is a tiny neighbourhood restaurant in Hong Kong’s Kennedy Town serving up generous plates of Italian food in this foodie corner of town. The food is classic Italian, but disposes of the pizza/pasta dichotomy in favour of a more nuanced approach, including plenty of interesting meat dishes. This Catchick Street hole­in­the­wall, moments from the coast offers a refreshing perspective on this classic cuisine for foodies in Hong Kong.

Finding a great restaurant in Kennedy Town is getting easier and easier.
