The Best Restaurant in Lantau Island, Hong Kong

Background Illustration for Restaurants

You'll wind up on Lantau Island if you're visiting the Big Buddha at Ngong Ping or Disneyland Hong Kong. There are several restaurants within the Disneyland park itself, none of them distinguished, but good if you're traveling with children. The best restaurants are in the hotels. You can reach Lantau by ferry or by one of the many airport-bound buses. But the easiest way to reach the island is by MTR. The Tung Chung line connects from Central and transfers straight to the Disneyland Resort.

Po Lin Monastery Restaurant

$$ Fodor's Choice

In the heart of Po Lin Monastery, surrounded by some of the best views afforded to Lantau Island, lies this Buddhist vegetarian cafeteria that's popular with tourists and locals alike. If you're traveling with others, nominate one of your party to pay for the food (do this outside of the main dining hall); seats quickly fill up given the limited hours, so guard your table well. Fortunately, there are spillover picnic tables just outside. Dishes are lightly seasoned so that you can more easily enjoy the natural flavor of the vegetables.
