Gu Hwei One of Hong Kong's newest "upstairs restaurants," or dining rooms in private homes. The owners expertly prepare modern Shanghainese and Cantonese dishes for a maximum of 14 people. (Make reservations in advance. It's best to visit Gu Hwei with a Cantonese-speaking friend, as the restaurant's staff doesn't always speak English.)

Isola A trendy new modern-Italian restaurant with an open kitchen serving dishes like chargrilled beef tagliata with anchovy sauce, and stone-baked pizzas with such toppings as cannellini beans and prawns. DETAILS Level 3, IFC Mall 2; 011-852-2383-8765.
