Hong Kong Dining - Lamma Island Rainbow Seafood Restaurant

Hong Kong Dining on Lamma Island


Rainbow Seafood Restaurant

Rainbow Seafood Restaurant
Rainbow Seafood Restaurant is located on Hong Kong Lamma Island.  As it came highly recommended, we decided to try it out when we visited Lamma Island.

Established in 1984, Rainbow Seafood Restaurant is now the largest restaurant on Lamma Island located at Sok Kwu Wan.  In fact, Rainbow Seafood Restaurant has reeceived numerous awards in both cuinary and services, including the Best of the Best Culinary Award awarded by the Hong Kong Tourism Board and the Hong Kong Award for Services.

We managed to find seats overlooking the sea.

We left it to our Hong Kong friend, Steven, to order the dishes.  Working on our budget, he went ahead to place the orders and we had a great and delicious seafood dinner, thanks to him.  :)

Holiday Travel Tips:-
After the meal at Rainbow Seafood Restaurant, do ask them if they have any complimentary dessert.  We learned this from our Hong Kong friend and upon asking, we received this plate of fresh fruits!  Nice, cold and sweet!

What we found interesting is that Rainbow Seafood Restaurant even offers free shuttle ferry service exclusively for their guests to and fro from Sok Kwu Wan at Lamma Island and Central Pier 9 or Tsim Sha Tsui or Aberdeen.  This is a great service especially if you just want to go to Lamma Island to experience the seafood at Rainbow Seafood Restaurant.

Reservation is recommended at Tel: 852-29828100.

Lamma Island Ferry

The easiest way to get to Hong Kong Lamma Island is by ferry from Central (Hong Kong Island) Pier 4 as there are quite a number of departures there, though you can board the ferry from Aberdeen as well.  Although it is not necessary to book tickets in advance unless it is a public holiday, do check the last ferry back from Lamma Island as overnight services are limited.
