Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club

You need to be a member to pay for anything here. So unless you are Member or with a member, there is no point. It’s also a club for sailers, not a «socializing» club known for its restaurants. Having said that, the club’s 2 restaurants are decent. I like the nostril downstairs more. It’s casual and you can sit outside next to the water. The food is English, local Chinese (i.e. Standard Cantonese) and Indian — probably the best in the club. So is you’re into Indian food, try it here.

Thanks to top class Glasgow Unilocaler Jeevan we got to visit this place on our first day in HK. We had some lunch with locals and also got a few hours by the pool.
Food first. This seems to be a pretty fancy place where people go for a nice lunch or dinner. When we went we had the amazing buffet which tasted epic. They had steak. Seafood, curry, rice, noodles, salad, etc. Everything was really good and way above normal buffet standard. We sat outside with a few beers and looked over HK harbour. Not sure that we could have asked for a better start to the day.
Now the pool. We had been lucky enough to get guest membership passes, which means we got to use the top class facilities. For us that meant a afternoon beside the pool (and in) in the sunshine and a few beers. It was a great first day to a brilliant holiday.
If your are in HK you should definitely check this place out.

Dinner in this Private Member’s club was very good. We had to walk up several flights of stairs to get to a very traditional dining room overlooking the harbour. First thing first. Switch off the mobile phone. The view was excellent and so was the service.
We had half a dozen beautiful rock oysters specially flown in from US and France. This was followed by a very good French Onion Soup. I had the 250 Gm Ribeye steak that had been aged appropriately. It was cooked medium rare to perfection. After that I was too full to have desert.
This is an excellent place to entertain friends.

nice to have member friends as a visitor, so they can show you around the club membership life of HK. enjoyed the dinner buffet, mixed cuisine and the view of Kowloon.

I used to come here with my family quite a bit. My family is a big fan of the restaurants here and I can totally, utterly understand why!
First of all, they have a really nice restaurant upstairs, a fine western dining. Their lunch menu changes frequently but is always tasty and it is cheaper than most western restaurants in Central or even Causeway Bay these days. Dinner time is even better, they have a large menu of some of my favourite items, with specials here and there. Lobster season, yes please! Again, everything is moderately priced, even the wine/​champagne. The room is classy, romantic, traditional.
Okay, down to the family-​ish area. They have a pool, which I’ve never swam at… but I have used their bowling facilities. I had a party there once and it was really chill. They have everything you need, shoes in different sizes even. It’s great for small parties. We then went into their bbq area. It’s sectioned off, got a good space overlooking Victoria harbour and they provide all the food! nom nom. We can either choose to do it ourselves or have someone from the yacht club to help us bbq. We did it ourselves last time we went, more fun in my opinion.
Finally, my favourite part of the yacht club, the family restaurant/​buffet. They have a really nice seating area outside, if you aren’t mosquito-​prone. I am, so I usually try to stay indoors. There’s lots of bushes around… thus more «wildlife».
The buffet is super yummy and they have different themes on certain days of the night. I haven’t been for a very long time but from my recollection there’s an Indian night where there are at least 5 – 6 different curries. I was told the chef is indian thus the different selection of curries. They are always yummy, promise!
One other thing I really like about the buffet, are their soups. They always have a double-​boiled soup. That I get at least 2 fillings every time I go.
