Jimmy's Kitchen

OVERVIEW

A true culinary institution, Jimmy’s Kitchen has been a cornerstone of Hong Kong’s dining scene since 1928. Relocated to the heart of Central on Pedder Street, this legendary restaurant continues to serve its famous blend of European and colonial Asian comfort food. Known for its old-world charm, white-tablecloth service, and timeless classics, Jimmy’s Kitchen remains a favorite for power lunches and leisurely afternoons alike.

Today, the Central location retains its heritage atmosphere with dark wood panelling, banquette seating, and attentive service, while offering modern interpretations of signature dishes like Baked Crab Meat au Gratin, Chicken à la King, and the enduringly popular Jimmy’s Curry.

THE LUNCH DEAL

Jimmy’s Kitchen is proud to offer one of Central’s most satisfying set lunch experiences. The daily lunch deal provides exceptional value in a neighborhood known for premium pricing, allowing busy professionals and visitors to enjoy a taste of history without breaking the bank.

The set lunch typically includes three courses, featuring a rotating selection of soups (try the famous Cream of Tomato), appetizers, and main courses such as Roast Sirloin of Beef, Breaded Veal Chop, or fresh fish of the day. Dessert often includes their classic Bread & Butter Pudding or a fresh fruit plate.

WHY IT’S A GREAT DEAL

In Central Hong Kong, where a simple salad or sandwich can easily cost HK$150, Jimmy’s Kitchen offers a full, sit-down, three-course meal with table service and historic ambience for under HK$260. It’s ideal for client meetings, team lunches, or a refined solo escape from the bustle of the financial district.
