Experts' Choice Award The Pawn
What the experts agree on
Historic 1888 pawn shop converted into a stylish British gastro-pub featuring elevated comfort food like lobster mac and cheese, rooftop herb garden, and breezy verandahs overlooking Wan Chai's skyline.
“The modern British cooking uses herbs grown on the roof; expect the likes of fish pie, roast cod with celeriac, and dishes to share like braised short rib and Baked Alaska.”
