El Cid
$$-$$$, Spanish, Southside
User Rating: **** 4.2
Fodor's Review:
It may feel a bit weird to have a Spanish fiesta at the former British Army Officers' quarters, but nevertheless, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Order a few tapas and a sangria or a bottle of Rioja, and remember to ask for a table with a sea view. Garlic prawns and stuffed mushrooms are some of the best choices on the tapas menu.

Truly Memorable
Posted by NigelBN from Bristol UK on 7/28/07
I may never get to Hong Kong again, so the chance to sit in the shade of the Murray House terraces, watching the sea, far from the bistro haunts to be found on Stanley's waterfront, was not to be missed. A relaxing lunch, starting with wonderful gazpacho, then grilled salmon with a glass of white wine. A coffee to finish. And of course, plenty of water in the 30 degrees heat. And always the sea, pinching myself as I looked on. If I ate in HK many times maybe I would have a better perspective on value. But the value equation for me was very simple. For a Brit, HK is a good bargain at the moment, and even if I'd had to pay a little more to eat here I would have. 48 hours later, back in wet Bristol, that memory will be with me for a long time.RATING: 4.2
