Even a whole roast goat. If so, then Desert Sky is the place to go. Establishing itself as opulent, where Casa Lisboa is homey, chic where Casa Nova is sensual, this Middle Eastern restaurant has made its own niche. This sort of planning seems odd in a highly competitive restaurant market like Hong Kong, but in SoHo it is the norm. The restaurateurs here see each other not as opponents but friends, willing to help each other out in hopes of making sure the neighbourhood thrives.
Newcomers are welcome and encouraged.
At the recent opening of Cafe au Lac, Robert Tai chatted amiably with both Goetz and Gauci. Tai is set to open two new ventures in the area, another restaurant and a blues bar. Also at the opening was the head of the powerful 1997 Group. A consortium of cafes, restaurants, clubs, and bars, the 1997 Group is a definite player here in the Hong Kong. Its restaurant Post-97 and Club 1997 are institutions in popular Lan Kwai Fong.
