Temptation

Found just off Jordan road near Austin MTR (but only a short walk from Yau Ma Tei), Temptation boasts an elegant but casual atmosphere wherein to enjoy a superb blend of European dishes and Asian flavours. The restaurant welcomes you with a cellar of fine wine and craft beers on display, so you know there’s plenty of choices for a tipple, but the food is the real star here on Wai Ching Street. Go straight for a tomato mozzarella salad or mushroom risotto with black truffle if you long for some Italian sustenance, or get one of the best protein-for-dollar deals in Hong Kong with Temptation’s fantastic German pork knuckle. With lots of different pastas, salads, soups and other European options alongside some Asian staples like Thai beef salad, Temptation is a safe choice for group meals in Kowloon.
