High up in sleepy Sheung Wan, nestled a among the sleepy residential towers, a Viennese coffee house would be the last thing you would expect to find. But up you go, and there’s Café Loisl, a place that does surprisingly well to transport you to Mitteleuropa. The setting is nice; you can choose to enjoy the old-Europe style interior or sit out on the sidewalk and enjoy about as much peace and quiet is possible in the middle of Hong Kong.

The coffee here is excellent, and prepared with considerable attention. For a treat, be sure to try their Franziskaner, the special espresso with cream served in true Viennese style. The food is simple and tasty. The meals are mostly light: omelettes, sandwiches, and the like, as well as some sweets. The apple strudel (of course) was delicious.
