Mediterranean restaurants in Hong Kong mostly mean one thing right now: Lebanese and Middle Eastern cooking, and the city is having a real moment with it. The five restaurants on this page have logged over 4,300 Google reviews between them, and Shahrazad alone has crossed 1,100, with ratings running from 4.3 up to 4.8.

Short answer: Maison Du Mezze holds the highest rating on this page at 4.8 stars across 662 reviews, while Shahrazad Lebanese Cuisine carries the deepest track record with 4.5 stars across 1,131 reviews. Maison Libanaise (4.3, 1,124 reviews) and Ziafat Arabic Restaurant (4.5, 789 reviews) round out a shortlist spanning belly-dancing lounges, a Sheraton-adjacent brunch spot, and unclaimed halal favourites. Expect to pay roughly $100 to $250 per person for a proper meze spread.

FRANCIS

4.5689 Google reviews

FRANCIS is a Wan Chai neighbourhood restaurant led by Chef Asher Goldstein, drawing on Tel Aviv-style meze and built around an eclectic 50-label wine list since opening in 2018. The menu runs through hummus, cauliflower, and freekeh risotto to mains like sea bass and lamb kafta, served share-style. It is the most design-forward, modern-leaning restaurant on this page rather than a traditional Lebanese dining room.

What people praise

  • Reviewers repeatedly single out the hummus as among the best in the city
  • A strong, curated wine list built specifically to pair with the menu
  • Consistent five-star reviews across dinner and lunch service
  • Chef-driven, modern approach to Middle Eastern small plates

Worth knowing

  • Very limited seating, so booking ahead is essential, per multiple reviewers
  • One reviewer felt the beef kafta's texture was inconsistent on one visit

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the restaurant’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many diners have rated it, ranked against the other Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants we found in Hong Kong. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a strong average from over a thousand reviewers counts for more than the same average from a few hundred. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a Mediterranean meal cost in Hong Kong? (2026)

Prices below come directly from the price-per-person figures diners logged in their own Google reviews for the restaurants on this page, giving a general sense of what a meal costs rather than a fixed menu price.

JobTypical price
Lunch set or mezze sharing plate$150 to $300 per person
Full dinner with mains$300 to $500+ per person

Ranges compiled August 2026 from price-per-person figures logged directly in diners’ Google reviews for the restaurants on this page. Menu prices change over time, so confirm current pricing directly with each restaurant.

Mediterranean dining across Hong Kong

This shortlist spans Central, Wan Chai, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Tung Chung on Lantau Island, giving coverage across both sides of the harbour and out toward the airport. If you are searching for Mediterranean restaurants near me, Central has the highest concentration here with Shahrazad and FRANCIS both a short trip apart, while Ziafat suits a Kowloon-side visit and Maison Du Mezze fits a Lantau or airport-adjacent trip.

What to ask before you book

  • Is the menu Lebanese-specific, or does it blend other Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines?
  • Is the kitchen halal certified, if that matters for your group?
  • Does the restaurant offer a set lunch menu, and what’s included?
  • Is a reservation required, especially for a smaller dining room?
  • Are there vegetarian or vegan mezze options beyond the standard hummus and falafel?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these Mediterranean restaurants?

We started from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants in Hong Kong with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge + top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which of these restaurants is halal?

Ziafat Arabic Restaurant is confirmed halal by multiple reviewers. Maison Du Mezze is also Google-listed as a halal restaurant. Confirm directly with the others if halal certification is a requirement.

Which restaurant is best for a family visit?

Maison Du Mezze specifically offers a kids’ table with activities and a family-friendly weekend brunch, making it the strongest pick on this page for a family outing.

The bottom line

Maison Du Mezze is the safe default with the highest rating and a genuinely family-friendly brunch, while Shahrazad carries the deepest track record if a lounge atmosphere with live entertainment appeals to you. Either way, book ahead, especially for FRANCIS given its limited seating.
