“The first al fresco restaurant I visited in Hong Kong before moving here in April was Sevva. It’s currently closed for renovations, and I can’t wait to see what they’ve done to the space when it reopens.”—Danica Lo, Chief Content Director

“I love Duddell’s leafy terrace for its lush tropical plants, mismatched lawn furniture and great cocktails. Not to mention their weekend brunch—which includes free-flowing premium dim sum and champagne—is one of the best in Hong Kong.”—Coco Marett, Digital Editor

“I love Limewood, I always feel like I’m on a mini holiday when I’m there. Their pina coladas are served in a young coconut and they also do this barbecued pineapple mojito that tastes like summer in a glass—when I’m having them along with the fish tacos, while facing the beach, it’s the best way to spend an afternoon.”—Jacqueline Kot, Special Projects Editor

“Currently I’m a big fan of the lounge terrace at Old Bailey in Tai Kwun, which is great for happy hour drinks or afternoon tea and cake. It gets a light breeze and is bathed in golden hour sunlight come 6pm, and is still relatively quiet before the dinner crowd pours in.”—Charmaine Mok, Editorial Director, Food & Wine

“Sugar is my favourite chill-out spot for happy hour drinks and late-night gatherings. Located at the top of East Hotel in Taikoo, it has a different vibe than those in bustling districts like Central and Tsim Sha Tsui. I love the spacious terrace, where I can enjoy unique harbour views from the eastern side of Hong Kong.”—Helen Yu, Digital Editorial Assistant
