Sheung Wan MTR Exit A2 is a 7-minute walk away with no confirmed step-free route; the Hollywood Road slope is manageable for most dogs but not ideal for strollers.

8 things to check

1Booking & access

OpenRice lists 29 reviews is the published reviewer signal. The OpenRice booking widget, where available, is the channel that lists the venue’s photo gallery and reviewer highlights.

The de-facto pet zone is the outdoor seating; the layout is the regular restaurant floor, with outdoor seating and indoor seating. The FEHD licence confirms dog-friendly access; staff routing of pet parties is reported in the OpenRice reviews.

  • Relief area on-site: none — see How to get there for the nearest off-lead option.
