1 Nacasa Café & Bar
Blink and you’ll miss it—this eclectic little café is hidden down a slight alleyway in Sheung Wan, a perfect gem for those on the hunt for a quiet place to while away the afternoon. Nacasa Café & Bar takes its décor inspiration from the mood-lit retreats of Morocco and beyond, replete with hanging mosaic lamps, patterned tapestries, and string lights, creating an atmosphere that’s refreshing to behold (after the barrage of Scandi minimalist or Japanese zen interiors of your usual Hong Kong cafés).
Its food offerings, however, are distinctly Western, with all-day brunch dishes, sourdough toasts, burgers, pasta, and pizzas dominating the menu. Popular options include the spaghetti alla carbonara ($108) and the all-day breakfast ($148) with sausage, barbecued pulled pork, hash brown, scrambled eggs, grilled tomato, and sourdough toast. Lunch sets, served with tea or coffee, are available as well, featuring dishes like the Wagyu beef burger with fries ($128) and gnocchi Wagyu Bolognese ($128). Pair it off with a caramel caffè latte (starting from $42), a rose caffè latte (starting from $42), or even an indulgent mint chocolate smoothie ($55) to complete the experience.
Seats by the front door and in the loft closest to the windows are in high demand (for Instagram purposes, of course) but you can call ahead or message Nacasa Café & Bar on Instagram to make a reservation.
