A view from the bar

Hello,

Just like that, 2023 is almost over—and what a year it's been in the world of food and drink. From countless new restaurants and bars opening up, as well as too many farewells to much-loved institutions, with a few groundbreaking culinary festivals and crossovers sprinkled here and there, it's safe to say that there's much to digest when it comes to the jam-packed year that we've had. And what better place to look back from the beautiful vantage point that Hong Kong's best rooftop bars provide, especially when it comes to catching a glimpse of the New Year's fireworks in Victoria Harbour? Don't miss our roundup here.
