Where James Suckling actually eats in Hong Kong
wine critic & founder, JamesSuckling.com (Hong Kong) · 6 picks
Where does James Suckling eat in Hong Kong? James Suckling has named 6 places in Hong Kong: Chiu Tang, Jean-Pierre, La Cabane Wine Bistro, Fuel Espresso Landmark Men, Mosu Hong Kong and 1 more. Each one is listed below in their own words, with the source.
James Suckling spent close to 30 years at Wine Spectator, latterly as senior editor and European bureau chief, before moving to Hong Kong and building JamesSuckling.com, the tasting platform through which he reckons he has now rated some 350,000 wines. He also owns a wine bar in Central, James Suckling Wine Central, which makes this a resident's list rather than a visitor's. The six below are the places he gave Fork Lore in August 2026 — his best wine bar, his best restaurant, his fine-dining pick, his coffee stop, his hidden gem, and where he takes out-of-towners.
Chiu Tang
I've been going there since 2000. I just liked the vibe and the service is really classy and the food is delicious.

Jean-Pierre
I like it because, one, it's a lot easier to eat there than go to Paris, and two, there's just a really good vibe there. Great service. So I really enjoy that.

They have some cool natural wines, has a lot of cool stuff and I'm always drinking Morgon Beaujolais there.

My wife is Korean. We go to Korea a lot. This is probably the best Korean restaurant in the world.

He has really good service and a really interesting wine list. They have some cool Japanese wines. I really like Japanese pinot noir right now.
