Australian restaurants, cafés and bars in Hong Kong: flat whites, a chook pie and a McLaren Vale shiraz
Hong Kong does Aussie brunch better than most cities in Asia. The pies and the footy take a little more hunting.
The short version
- Best flat white with an Aussie pedigree: Fineprint, founded by an Australian barista, with cafés across Hong Kong Island and one at the airport [1][2].
- Best taste of a servo: Servo in Central does a homemade chook pie and smashed avo [6].
- Best Aussie wine bar: Bourke's on Peel Street pours Australian wine and has Stone & Wood Pacific Ale on tap [7].
- Best steak night: Wooloomooloo serves certified Australian Black Angus beef in Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui [8].
- The footy: the 2026 AFL Grand Final watch party in Hong Kong was at the Hong Kong Cricket Club [9].
How we picked these
Every venue below was checked in late 2026. We looked for an Australian owner, an Australian founder, or a menu that is unmistakably Australian, then confirmed the venue was still trading. Each venue name links to its own website, or to its Instagram if it has no website.
We left out several places that used to be Aussie favourites, because we couldn't confirm they're still open or still Australian. Things change fast in Hong Kong, so if you know one we've missed, tell us in the Cooee group.

Cafés: flat whites and brunch
Fineprint
Where: Peel Street (Soho), Central, Sai Ying Pun, Wan Chai, Tai Hang, Causeway Bay, Happy Valley, Quarry Bay, Sheung Wan and Hong Kong International Airport.
Why Australians go: Fineprint was founded by award-winning Australian barista Scottie Callaghan, and it brought a Sydney feel to Hong Kong coffee [1]. It is now a proper little network, with most branches opening at 6am, which is a gift if you start early in Central.
What to order: A flat white and the ricotta toast [1]. At the Tai Hang café on Lily Street, Time Out singles out the "Ultimo eggs" and the sourdough, jams and ricotta made fresh at the bakery out the back [2]. Yes, Ultimo as in the Sydney suburb.
Winstons Coffee
Where: Sai Ying Pun, Kennedy Town, Tai Hang and Sai Kung.
Why Australians go: Winstons says its inspiration is the old London coffee houses, but the coffee is the Aussie bit. Honeycombers calls the Kennedy Town branch a Melbourne-style coffee joint that makes flat whites "as only the Aussies know how" [3]. It turns into a cocktail bar in the evening.
What to order: A flat white with an avo bap in the morning [3], or an espresso martini later on.
G'Day Cafe and Restaurant
Where: Hill Road, Sai Ying Pun.
Why Australians go: The name gives it away. Time Out describes it as an Australian café, and the menu runs from brunch into an "Aussie BBQ" night [4].
What to order: The "G'sanga", a pork collar toastie with green apple and eggs, or the G'Day yoghurt bowl. Time Out lists an all-you-can-eat Aussie BBQ on Tuesdays and Australian mussels with striploin on Fridays [4]. Check the Instagram before you go, as specials change.
Proof
Where: Tsun Yuen Street, Happy Valley.
Why Australians go: Time Out describes Proof as an Australian-owned bakery [5]. It has been baking sourdough in Happy Valley since 2016, and it gives its surplus bread to charity [5].
What to order: A sourdough loaf to take home, a croissant or one of the egg tarts, plus a flat white. It's a good stop before a race night at the Valley.
Restaurants and pies
Servo
Where: On Lan Street, Central.
Why Australians go: Servo is inspired by the Australian service station, or servo [6]. It opened in 2025 and comes from chef Shane Osborn, the chef behind Arcane and Cornerstone [6]. It's a casual all-day spot for breakfast or an after-work drink.
What to order: The homemade chook pie with chicken and leek. This is the closest thing on our list to a proper Aussie pie. Smashed avocado on sourdough with chilli jam is there for the brunch crowd, and there are craft beers for later [6].
Wooloomooloo
Where: The Hennessy, Wan Chai (Wooloomooloo Steakhouse); The ONE, Tsim Sha Tsui (Wooloomooloo Prime); Tsim Sha Tsui East (Wooloomooloo Steakhouse).
Why Australians go: It's a steakhouse built around Australian beef: the group says every steak is certified Australian Black Angus beef [8]. It's the classic choice when visitors from home want a big steak and a view. One note: the group's own site says the Wan Chai rooftop is permanently closed [8].
What to order: A steak. The same group also runs OMAROO Grill in H Queen's, Central, and MOOO! Grill in Tsim Sha Tsui [8].
Bars: Australian wine and beer
Bourke's
Where: 46 Peel Street, Soho, Central.
Why Australians go: This is Hong Kong's most openly Australian bar. It opened in October 2024 on the old Shady Acres site, and one of its four owners is Brett Goss, who grew up in Adelaide and moved to Hong Kong to import Australian wine [7]. The group behind it also runs Honky Tonks Tavern and Mendel's [7].
What to order: Something from home. At opening, Broadsheet listed a Heathcote prosecco, a Coonawarra pinot gris, a McLaren Vale shiraz and a Hunter Valley albariño, plus Stone & Wood Pacific Ale on tap and cocktails built on Four Pillars gin and Starward whisky [7]. On Sundays there's a roast at lunch. Small groups can walk in; bigger groups should book through the website.
Where to watch the footy and cricket
Hong Kong is two or three hours behind the east coast, so the big games land at friendly hours. A grand final is a lunchtime event.
- AFL: In 2026 the AFL's own list of overseas Grand Final watch parties had one Hong Kong entry: the Hong Kong Cricket Club, from 12.30pm [9]. The local club, formerly the Hong Kong Dragons, re-registered in December 2024 as Australian Football League Hong Kong, China (AFLHK) [10]. Follow the club for screenings during the season.
- NRL and State of Origin: We couldn't confirm a venue with a regular NRL or Origin screening for 2026. Sports bars in Wan Chai, Soho and Tsim Sha Tsui will often put it on if you ask early and bring a crowd.
- Cricket: Ask your nearest sports bar before a Test series starts. A table of Aussies on a Boxing Day morning is usually welcome.
The easiest way to find out who's showing what this week is to ask in Cooee Hong Kong, our Facebook group for Australians in Hong Kong. People post screenings there before the big games.

A few tips before you go
- Check Instagram on the day. Servo and G'Day post their specials and any changes to hours there.
- Book for Sunday roast or a group. Bourke's handles small groups as walk-ins, but asks larger groups to book.
- Go early for pastries. Bakeries like Proof bake each morning, and the good stuff goes first.
- Mix it up. You came to Hong Kong for the food. Use these places for a hit of home, then go and find your favourite cha chaan teng.
