Newly-opened Wolfgang Puck Kitchen and Duddell’s are just two examples of great restaurants serving high-quality food at the Hong Kong International Airport

If you are getting a little jaded with the offerings at airport business lounges, Hong Kong International Airport has some good alternatives to enjoy great food and drink while you wait to board your plane.

Instead of posting predictable plates of lounge food on your Instagram, snap a photo of a smoked salmon pizza with dill crème fraîche, red onions, salmon roe and chives while the server tops it off with Osetra caviar at Wolfgang Puck Kitchen.

The original celebrity chef to the Hollywood stars, Wolfgang Puck opened his casual Californian-inspired eatery recently in the arrivals hall. It is good for a few drinks, too, and he stocks his own wine label.

Speaking of celebrity chefs, Hong Kong International Airport has a few more name-dropping restaurants in the food court – including Gordon Ramsay Plane Food To Go, which offers the high-quality British cuisine he is known for, but tailors it for people on the go. And, Street Food MIC by Alvin Leung, which features a range of traditional dai pai dong snacks, with Leung’s signature modern twist.

For those with champagne tastes and caviar dreams, Caviar House & Prunier in the departure hall south offers only the best caviar from Bordeaux in France, and Balik smoked salmon from the Swiss Alps – one of the best in the world. If your Instagram is already chock full of caviar posts, there are also fresh oysters which go well with a bottle of champagne. Or, for something warm, lobster soup and baguette to consider.
