Family Of Four: Where To Eat For $800 Or Less

We’ve found some great restaurants where a family of four can eat out cheaply without having to sacrifice flavour or quality

Raising a family in Hong Kong is pricey enough, but when dining out, the last thing you want is a hefty bill at the end. Even if you’re just hoping to take the kids out instead of cooking, the options for family-friendly places are not always within budget. We’ve done our research and come up with a list of restaurants where deals such as Taco Tuesdays, buy-one-get-one, and sharing menus are offered to make sure you keep your dinner bill $800 or less for a family of four (two adults, two kids). We also made sure these spots are family friendly, to guarantee you and the kids a fun night out!
