Central is part of the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. The north shore of Hong Kong Island is one of the densest business areas in the city: the MTR Island Line runs from Kennedy Town to Chai Wan, the trams ("ding dings") between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, and many businesses trade from upper floors of office blocks and older tenement buildings. The south side is known for beaches, trails and fishing harbours such as Repulse Bay, Stanley and the Aberdeen typhoon shelter, which get busy at weekends and on public holidays. Central is Hong Kong's financial and business heart; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links the streets up the hill, Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo come alive at night, and the Central piers serve the Outlying Islands.

We had a four-course lunch menu, and the portions were generous. Loved the main and middle courses! Looking forward to seeing improved appetizers and desserts next time. The servers all had brilliant smiles and provided excellent service. The weather was lovely when we visited, but it might get a bit too sunny on a scorching day.

Of the many events we host in Hong Kong, this was our first time working with the team at Popinjays. At The Ortus Club, we coordinate numerous bespoke corporate functions annually, and we found The Aviary Room to be a fantastic space for an executive luncheon. The floor-to-ceiling windows filled the room with natural light, making our session feel more awake, which was a great change of pace for our guests. The food presentation was excellent and definitely added a touch of prestige, ensuring the professional atmosphere was maintained throughout the meal. We often plan events for finance and legal sector clients who often go to and from their offices to secluded function rooms, so our team at Ortus found that having exclusive access to the Aviary terrace was a standout feature, offering a sophisticated backdrop and the privacy our guests truly appreciate. One honest bit of feedback for those planning C-suite meetings in Central: since the room is situated right beside the main dining area, a fair amount of noise does bleed through; something to note for those who require a completely silent private room for sensitive discussions. Another suggestion would be to have a bit more pre

Wonderful view, delicious food, professional staff. A lovely place for weekend brunch or a drink at night.

We came here for a Birthday brunch. It's a nicely set up restaurant with great views over HK. The food was very good, especially the oysters, caviar and the cod. Service in general was excellent, though it could be a little slow with the drink refills and they did manage to give me a vodka soda at the end instead of the g&t I had been drinking during the dinner. A minor issue that wasn't wasted.

Our family has a tradition of celebrating Christmas at a fine dining restaurant each year,m and this time we chose Popinjays. It’s our first visit and we all enjoyed it so much. We all rated it the best Xmas meals and Italian cuisine we have eaten over the years. All the food was amazing and beautifully presented. My personal favorite was the tomato pasta, simple, elegant, and absolutely delicious. The ambiance was just as memorable. With a breathtaking night view and a warm, festive atmosphere, the setting was perfect for a holiday celebration. The live DJ and musician added a vibrant energy to the evening, and the dancer’s performance was a true highlight. Overall, we were all very satisfied with our evening at Popinjays. I have seen mixed reviewed about the food in here, I hope they can uphold the high standard as we are already looking forward to the next visit.
