Missed the ferry? Never mind. Nip round the corner for one of the cheap lunch specials and a beer micro-brewed on China Bear’s premises.

Good Mediterranean and South African fodder on one of Lantau’s loveliest beaches. Try the tapas-style dishes or the cold Cape-style curried fish.

A cosy place with al fresco dining close to a decent beach. The cuisine is Mediterranean and Turkish but dedicated carnivores can choose ostrich and spicy boerewors, a long South African sausage.

The “all-day” breakfast, snacks and mainly Western entrées are good enough to keep you from exercise altogether. Open 1–6pm.

One of Lamma’s better places for a full seafood splurge with a harbour view. The locals love it, and so will you.

A favourite haunt of local ex-pats and the place for all-night Typhoon parties, the friendly Deli also serves a decent Western and Indian menu. The vindaloos are quite something.

This place wears its ethical, veggy heart on its sleeve, with its twee slogans to peace, love and tofu on its walls. Don’t be put off. Service is friendly; the fresh food and juices exceptional.

Take a gentle 20-minute walk from Yung Shue Wan for legendary pigeon specialities. Former governor Chris Patten and comedian John Cleese are fans.

Somewhat shabby premises, but the noodles are fresh and the dumplings and wontons just right. There’s no signage in English but it’s easy to find, just by the ferry pier.

Run by a restaurateur and his seven daughters, this is Po Toi’s only restaurant. Reach it by junk or from Stanley on a Sunday (see Po Toi).
