Chef Daniel Calvert of BELON shares his favourite spots in Hong Kong, from Cantonese suckling pig to where he gets his banh mi deliveries from and more.

"Black Sheep Restaurants has grown from beginnings in one tapas house 6 years ago to a group that now owns 20 hotspots across Hong Kong. Here, find out how their underdog mentality helped them build a culinary empire."

"The Greek concept is a first for the local restaurant group. The new 50-seat restaurant is separated into two adjacent shop fronts, each representing the legendary Greek god and goddess. Designed by Sean Dix, the interiors pay tribute to a traditional Greek taverna with domed ceilings over the dining room equipped with an open courtyard at the back for al fresco options."

"Upon entering Ho Lee Fook it’s almost impossible to head down the stairs to the restaurant without taking the time for a quick photo, or even better, a boomerang. The lucky cat wall epitomises the restaurant’s modern and quirky take on Chinese cuisine, and may just be our favourite thing about the place – second only to its famed short ribs."

"The atmosphere at Canton Disco is every bit as energetic and opulent as the surrounding EDITION hotel. This restaurant pays tribute to the infamous Kowloon discotheque of the same name — Hong Kong’s quasi-answer to Studio 54 — with an uproarious 80s soundtrack and setting reminiscent of a banqueting hall hopped up on acid. But whereas the atmosphere is wonderfully ridiculous, Canton Disco’s cuisine — traditional Cantonese fare executed using premium produce — is precise and sophisticated."

Foodie invited Chef James Harrison of La Vache! into the kitchen to teach them how to cook the perfect steak at home.

餐飲集團Black Sheep Restaurants自2012年於香港創立，旗下擁有17間餐廳。其創辦人Syed Asim Hussain指出，過往曾有外賣平台邀請集團的餐廳加盟，他都一一拒絕。他認為，外賣服務不只是把食物送到食客手上。因此，Hussain決定推出外賣應用程式及網站Black Sheep Restaurants GO，自營團隊提供免運費的外賣服務，外賣的服務範圍只覆蓋堅尼地城至跑馬地一帶。他揚言，即使生意因此有虧損，也會堅持集團提供自家的外賣服務。

"I think it’s fair to say one of the most successful stories of the past few years is the Black Sheep Restaurants ’ one. How do you grow, in only 6 years, from being an underdog to being the leader on your market? That’s the exciting secret have been trying to unlock by discussing with Christopher Mark and Syed Asim Hussain, Co-Founders and Managing Partners of the group."

"Go-to Neapolitan pizzeria, Motorino, is already a popular spot for families, but now there’s another reason for little diners to head there, as the Wan Chai branch is now offering children’s pizza parties where mini-chefs can create their own masterpiece using the restaurant’s wide variety of traditional Italian toppings."

Featuring BELON, ho lee fook, La Vache!, New Punjab Club and Le Petit Saigon.

Featuring New Punjab Club and Motorino.
"This post-Colonial inspired Punjabi restaurant serves up street food favourites elevated with premium ingredients and refined plating in a jovial and lively atmosphere."
"Motorino is famous in particular for their tasty Brussels Sprout pizza. Before your turn your nose up, it might sound like a weird combination – and usually the best pizzas are – but believe us when we say it’s truly delicious."

"Burger Circus brings in crowds for its juicy burgers, cute vintage aesthetic, and of course, its shakes. With its diner-style vibe, shakes at Burger Circus are served in a tall glass with a cherry on top, so it serves Hong Kong well for an Instagrammable photo-op."
