Take shelter in such open-air spaces for a break from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, from rooftop terraces to cozy patios. 

The need to drink and dine out in the heat is the perfect distraction now that the weather is getting colder. Diners can be whisked away to Beirut’s quaint alleys or catch themselves in casual conversation with a wineglass in hand as if they were in the midst of Florence, thanks to the creative concepts honed by Black Sheep Restaurants.

Black Sheep Restaurants, a Hong Kong-based hospitality team formed in 2012 by Syed Asim Hussain and Christopher Mark, creates dining experiences that are unique, thought-provoking and story-driven. They have generations of combined experience as well as a passion for tourism and exploring new culinary subcultures. What better way to enjoy the outdoors than these perfect spots for dining al fresco in Hong Kong?
