Brunching with Baby: Where to Eat in Hong Kong When You Have Taste (and a Toddler)

[Updated: 19 May 2026] When I became a parent, I didn’t suddenly lose my love for good food - I just gained a new (often loud and wriggly) dining companion. So when it comes to finding brunch spots in Hong Kong that are baby-friendly, I have a non-negotiable rule: the food has to actually be worth it!


Here’s my tried-and-tested list of restaurants in Hong Kong where you can brunch with your little one without compromising your own enjoyment:


Gia Trattoria Italiana Wan Chai

  • Pros: Bustling, high chairs, dog-friendly on the patio.

  • Cons: I didn't check the bathrooms for baby-changing, but I don't think there would be any.

Parent Tip: The pizzas are incredibly light and crisp and tasty, and the calamari is lightly batter-fried and not too salty - those will always be a win with the kiddos!


The Continental Admiralty

  • Pros: A high-quality menu with great lunch set and a designated kids' menu. Parking available, and easy drop-off if in an Uber. This is one of the best spots for baby brunch for sure!

  • Cons: No baby-changing in the bathroom, and some tables are not ideal for toddlers so let the restaurant beforehand if you're bringing kids.

Parent Tip: Easily customise dishes on the kids menu, like removing salt or seasonings.


Duddell’s Salon (4/F) — Central

  • Pros: Michelin-awarded dim sum in a leafy, art-gallery-meets-lounge setting. The terrace is a dream for active toddlers, and high chairs are available.

  • Cons: No kids’ menu or kids’ activities. Parking is also a headache.

Parent Tip: Request the terrace for their all-you-can-eat dim sum brunch. It’s relaxed and elegant without feeling stiff.


Tozzo (Tai Kwun) — Central

  • Pros: Proper kids' menu, gelato bar, and casual terrace dining. Spacious enough to manoeuvre with a stroller, and they’re very welcoming.

  • Cons: Tai Kwun itself is not the most stroller-friendly venue (lots of stairs and cobbles). Also, no easy parking nearby.

Parent Tip: Let your kids know that if they behave through the meal, they can have a scoop or two of award-winning Chef Fabio Bardi's homemade gelato as a reward.



Oolaa — Various Locations

  • Pros: Customisable kids’ menu with healthy options, high chairs, and brunchy favourites that won’t disappoint.

  • Cons: The Central branch is tight on space for strollers. I also dislike getting dropped off because of the hectic street. For a more relaxed visit, I recommend the Tung Chung location inside Citygate shopping mall, roomier and with convenient parking, even if it’s a trek.

Parent Tip: Their smoothies are great for sneaking in fruit if your toddler is in a picky phase.



Madame Fù — Tai Kwun

  • Pros: Pretty interiors, high chairs available, and refined Chinese food and dim sum. It's an ideal spot for a fancier family dim sum brunch.

  • Cons: No parking. No kids’ menu. This is best for babies who are content in a high chair — not toddlers in tornado mode.

Parent Tip: Order their har gow and truffle fried rice - baby might surprise you.



The Peak Lookout — The Peak

  • Pros: Wide-ranging international menu, stroller space, parking available, and super attentive service.

  • Cons: No in-restaurant bathroom — you’ll need to head into the Galleria.

Parent Tip: Ideal post-park or hiking meal. Bring your own changing mat just in case. Order a Babyccino!


Spices (The Repulse Bay) — Southside

  • Pros: A tropical terrace, crayons for kids, and a menu that spans Southeast Asia. Parking and a supermarket are right next door.

  • Cons: Food can be hit-or-miss. Weekends are chaotic, and there are far too many birds trying to steal your naan.

Parent Tip: Go on a weekday if you can. The vibe is much more peaceful.


Rajasthan Rifles  — The Peak

  • Pros: Elevated Indian fare with Black Sheep hospitality. High chairs available, and it’s near a kid-friendly hiking trail.

  • Cons: No kids’ menu and a spice-forward selection may not suit younger tastebuds.

Parent Tip: Ask the kitchen for mild options. They’re happy to accommodate.


Falcone (IFC) — Central

  • Pros: Friendly staff, solid pizza and pasta, high chairs, and mall convenience (hello, car park and baby changing facilities).

  • Cons: Not the healthiest, no official kids’ menu, and the bathroom is outside the restaurant.

Parent Tip: Order a pizza and ask for no chili oil. Easy, quick, and baby-approved.


BluHouse (Rosewood Hong Kong) — TST

  • Pros: Possibly the best service in town for families. Italian-Mediterranean food that feels indulgent but clean. Homemade gelato, kid-friendly staff, and casual-chic energy.

  • Cons: Valet parking can be pricey. No kids’ menu, but sharing works well here.

Parent Tip: The freshly brewed coffees here are a must-order.


La Vache! (Pacific Place) — Admiralty

  • Pros: Steak frites for you, coloring pencils for your little one, and fries can be made baby-safe (no salt). Mall setting makes logistics a breeze.

  • Cons: Menu is fixed (salad, steak, fries), so bring your baby’s own food if they’re not into that.

Parent Tip: This is a great place to satisfy a parent craving while still feeling relaxed about the baby situation.


Summer Palace (Island Shangri-La) — Admiralty

  • Pros: Possibly my favourite on this list. Michelin-starred Cantonese cuisine that’s consistently delicious, plus it’s loud and spacious enough that you don’t feel self-conscious bringing a baby into a white-tablecloth setting. High chairs available, super accommodating staff, and free parking with your meal.

  • Cons: Despite being baby-welcoming, it’s still a "formal" Chinese restaurant with no kids’ menu, so you’ll need to get creative with ordering.

Parent Tip: Their dim sum is delicate but not fussy — order congee, soft steamed buns or rice rolls for little ones.


Ombra — Wong Chuk Hang, The Southside

  • Pros: High chair, great tasting Italian food, bustley vibe so you don't feel self conscious with a loud child.

  • Cons: No designated kids' menu.

Parent Tip: Grab a fro-yo next door for dessert. Kenzo always requests dessert after Ombra!


Salisterra at The Upper House — Admiralty

  • Pros: Gorgeous views, slick service, and delicious food. High chairs, silicone plates, and kid's menu available.

  • Cons: Still feels *slightly* too refined for loud toddlers.

Parent Tip: The salmon main was quite large, and our two 3 year old toddlers finished half each, so I would recommend sharing one plate between two!
