The name is an amalgam of the street name, the atmosphere and the style of place. It certainly has a fresh, energetic feel with its whites, greys and blues, its cascading 'petals' and its semi-open kitchen. The French cuisine comes with a healthy dose of creativity, in both the preparation and presentation; there are also Asian influences, in dishes such as the Alaskan salmon teriyaki - and an impressive selection of over 30 French cheeses. - MICHELIN guide inspectors ***** Phone : +85225170977 Website: : http://www.upper-bistro.com Meal prices : Lunch: set(HKD 268/348) - à la carte(HKD 420/820) Dinner: set(HKD 788) - à la carte(HKD 420/820) Good to know : reservations required

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking! ***** Situated next to Sheung Wan market, this traditionally styled, simple but well maintained barbecue shop has been run by the same family since the mid-1970s. Over the years they've built up an appreciative following so the small place fills quickly. The appetising looking suckling pigs are not the only draw: roast pork, duck and pigeon all have their followers, as do the soft-boiled chicken, the homemade sausages and the preserved meats. - MICHELIN guide inspectors ***** Phone : +85225412207 Meal prices : Lunch: à la carte(HKD 40/150) Dinner: à la carte(HKD 40/150) Good to know : reservations not accepted

A bakery set up by two guys serving French-style bread with a Japanese twist – this is what I consider the only place to buy bread in Hong Kong. While tricky to find – tucked into a leafy cul-de-sac at the end of Po Hing Fong – once you’ve tried the sourdough, it will become a firm favourite. The bread is also served (alongside delicious coffee!) at the boys’ popular café located behind the bakery: Café Deadend. ***** Po’s Atelier, 70 Po Hing Fong, Hong Kong, www.facebook.com/posatelier

This has long been one of my fave spots. Many years ago, an internationally renowned burlesque dancer named Mrs. Pound disappeared in the height of her fame, rumored to have fallen in love with a wealthy Hong Kong man who hid her in his stamp shop – or so the ‘fictional’ story of Mrs Pound goes. This Asian fusion restaurant serves a menu of delicious street food against a backdrop of funky interiors.

The Cupping Room is a fave (one is located just around the corner from our office!) and this spot is where the coffee beans are roasted to perfection. We couldn’t decide if this was technically in or out of PoHo, but thought it was worth mentioning. You can grab a quick coffee or have a chat in its super cool but cosy café. ***** The Cupping Room Roastery, Shop 8, Silver Jubilee Mansion, 62-72 Po Hong Fong, www.facebook.com/CuppingRoomHK

Sightseeing

Ladder Street is a historic stone step street in Sheung Wan that was built between 1841-50.

This registered monument links Queen's Road Central to Caine Road, climbing up 350 metres, some of which is quite steep. Take your time on hot days and rest when you need if trying to ascend the full length of Ladder Street. Ladder Street passes through the antique markets and many curios stalls at and around Hollywood Road and nearby Upper Lascar Row.
