β β β β β a year agoNestled atop the Hong Kong Maritime Museum at Central Pier 8, this hidden gem offers stunning Victoria Harbour views, including the Ferris wheel and Convention Centre, from its bright, airy rooftop space with floor-to-ceiling windows and inviting outdoor seating. As a non-profit social enterprise, it empowers diverse employees with warm, professional service. The menu features affordable Western-style dishes like rich mushroom soup, hearty beef lasagna, and fresh chicken avocado wraps, paired with velvety cappuccino.Perfect for a guilt-free, scenic lunch blending harbor breezes, quality bites, and meaningful community support. A rare Central waterfront find worth visiting!

β β β β β a year agoAfter a wonderful experience at the Maritime museum it was time for some food. Beautiful cafe overlooking the Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong Observation Wheel. Ordered a mocha for us and chocolate muffins for the kids. The food looked mouthwatering but the sad part was whatever we wanted to see wasn't available. The staff were kind and helpful π.
