Home to ten food and beverage outlets, including Pierre Gagnaire's Michelin-starred Pierre, the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong offers guests such a wide range of culinary options that one could potentially never leave the building and still experience an accurate sampling of Hong Kong's diverse dining traditions.

Breakfast of champions: The Clipper Lounge and Café Causette

Earning the nickname "Hong Kong's sitting room," the Clipper Lounge, the Mandarin's breakfast buffet and afternoon tea outlet, is designed to meet the demanding needs of the city's early-rising business crowd, as well as socialites and casual guests. While it's not uncommon to find patrons eating delicate dim sum dishes in designer suits, others are not out of place consuming made-to-order omelets in jeans and a t-shirt. Also the location of the hotel's weekend chocolate buffet, the Clipper Lounge's breakfast spread includes a wide range of fresh fruits and juices and breakfast staples like eggs, bacon, sausage, smoked salmon and assorted cold cuts and cheeses.

For those who wish to start their day in a brighter, lighter environment, Café Causette is a relaxing eatery, offering various omelets, breakfast skillets and their signature Eggs Royal. Causette's large windows allow maximum sun to pour into the restaurant's dining room, making the early morning wake-up a little more bearable. Additionally, located adjacent to Causette's entry way are the Mandarin's acclaimed Cake Shop and boulangerie.

The finer side: Pierre, Man Wah, Mandarin Grill and the Krug Room

No 5-star hotel would be complete without a fine dining establishment, and the Mandarin is no exception, offering four fine-dining restaurants, ranging from the French-fusion Michelin-starred Pierre, run by world-renowned chef Pierre Gagnaire, to the exquisite Cantonese offerings of Man Wah, the Mandarin's signature Chinese restaurant.

Diners in search of classic grill food: steaks, chops, lobsters, filets; or the freshest raw seafood should head to the Mandarin Grill + Bar, a destination for Hong Kong's dining elite, while anyone with a more adventurous palate can reserve the single-table Krug Room.

Designed for only the truest connoisseurs of fine dining, the Krug Room, often referred to as the Mandarin's "secret restaurant" and location of the widest selection of Krug Champagne outside of France, is a true mystery, featuring one 12-person table and no menu, the chef deciding on a daily basis what he will serve.

All of these fine-dining establishments carry wait lists, and patrons are encouraged to reserve tables in advance.

Nightcaps and single-malt dreams: M Bar, the Chinnery, Captain's Bar

While hotel bars are often associated with crusty atmosphere and cheesy music, the Mandarin Oriental's M Bar is a sleek and sophisticated bar and lounge, located on the hotel's 25th floor. With dark a décor and lighting, M Bar serves excellent cocktails and offers a wide selection of beer, wine and spirits. Steadily increasing in popularity, M Bar is the destination for after-work drinks or a stylish aperitif. Their Manhattan can be rated on par with any around, and the addition of Knob Creek bourbon (not a standard pour, mind you) puts it in a class of its own.

If single-malt whiskey, pub food and dark wood are more your speed, The Chinnery, the hotel's English pub, is an ideal choice. Boasting a selection of over 120 single-malt whiskeys and menu highlights from fish and chips to chicken tikka, The Chinnery provides a quiet and relaxing escape from modern Hong Kong.

Finally, the most casual of the Mandarin's F&B establishments, Captain's Bar, located on the ground floor, is a convenient destination to listen to live jazz, while drinking a silver tankard of draught. Serving customers for over 45 years, the Captain's Bar is a staple of Hong Kong's drinking scene.
