Ali Oli Bakery and Café is something of a Sai Kung institution, having opened in 1986, and is one of the best veggie-friendly cafes in Hong Kong. Offering a wide range of Western style vegetarian options (alongside a handful of meaty ones for the grumbly carnivores in your family), we absolutely love the sound of their lemon and herb zucchini mushroom pie! They’re more than open to bookings for children parties as well and it’s no surprise their apple pies go down a treat with their littler fans. While they have high chairs in their Sai Kung branch, their other locations unfortunately don’t have any. We know how hard it is getting the kids to sit still for a whole meal and thankfully, their Sai Kung store has outdoor seating with a playground just opposite – you’ll be able to keep an eye on the kiddies while you and your partner finally get a chance for some real conversation.

If you’re looking to fall in love with Hong Kong again, Mandarin Oriental is THE place to go. There is nothing that makes you appreciate the place you live in quite like the top quality service at this classically ‘Hong Kong’ hotel. Whilst 5 star hotels are easy to come across, (consistent) 5 star service is tricky to find. So we’ve done the not-so-hard work for you, mamas, and we can vouch for this gem. From the receptionists and waiters, to the bathroom attendants and gym instructors, the staff here are all about making sure you’re enjoying yourself. They completely encourage you to make the most of your time – and with an irresistible spa, a (practically private) gym overlooking the harbour from the 24th floor, and a kid-friendly pool (playing movies like ‘The Little Mermaid’), you can be sure that every moment will be bringing you something new and exciting – in the most relaxing way! Their Verandah style room is perfect to unwind for a romantic getaway, and even has plenty of place to play with the kids if they’re coming along too. Plus, our city’s breathtaking skyline is a dream to fall asleep and wake up to. There’s something about the gorgeously draped curtains on either side of the king size bed that transforms the bright, airy room into the cosiest of cocoons. It’s a stress-free zone, which is exactly what a busy mama needs to hear!
As an added bonus, this hotel is tastebud heaven. From the rose petal jam and perfectly fluffy scones at the afternoon tea, to the Fine Dining Dim Sum Restaurant (with debatably the world’s best beef tenderloin dim sum – complete with 96 layers of heavenly pastry). Whether you’re looking for a hotel to really “WOW” visiting guests, or whether you’re a Hong Kong resident desperately in need of a break, Mandarin Oriental is the ideal place to really ignite your love of the city.
