9¾ Café
Calling all Potterheads! Indulge in some enchanting treats inspired by the wizarding world of J.K Rowling at the 9¾ Café – Hong Kong’s first unofficial Harry Potter themed cafe. Decorated with genuine Harry Potter memorabilia, from wands and spell books to broomsticks and even a sorting hat (all from the owner’s personal collection), the cafe offers a variety of Western-style dishes named after notable characters and themes from the series. Come try the Aragog Salad (HK$62) or The Order of the Phoenix (HK$118). There are also several potions for you muggles to try, such as the Polyjuice Potion, Felix Felicis and Amortenia love potion for HK$55 each. Guests are also invited to pose for photos with Potter-style glasses, magic wands and the famous disappearing trolley from Platform 9¾.
Rabbitland Café
Inspired by Japan’s famous “Rabbit Island” in Okunoshima, Rabbitland is Hong Kong’s first rabbit cafe. Situated in Causeway Bay, the cafe invites guests to slip on some comfy footwear and enter the “bunny den” for a playdate with the fluffy fellas – you’re guaranteed for some cuteness overload! Furnished with tiny tables and chairs, rabbit pens and bunny-themed décor, it’s the perfect setting for taking some adorable pics.
