Simple fare awaits at Stan Cafe - often the first restaurant you encounter when you hop off the bus or a taxi at Stanley Plaza. The welcoming diner-inspired interior is a great place to fuel-up on rotisserie chicken and French dishes, such as duck confit, pasta and sandwiches, as well as a couple of sneaky glasses of wine for the parents too.

If you need a break from all the touristy hubbub, rent a sampan and escape to neighboring Po Toi Island - a nearby fisherman’s village. Start the adventure with a hike around the island where you’ll be able to visit the Tin Hau Temple, before ending the afternoon pulling up a stool at one of the seaside restaurants for some lip-smacking seafood right by the pier.
