Enoteca on Elgrin - good wine, good food, good time
Enoteca on Elgin, where Enoteca means “the Wine Bar”, is a restaurant located in the famous SoHo area in Hong Kong and is a place I love to spend a whole weekend afternoon in.
Located in the heart of financial and business activities of Hong Kong, i.e. the Central District, the SoHo is well known for its numerous fine dinning restaurants. The SoHo refers to mainly the areas around the Elgin Street and Straunton Street, which are just next to the Lan Kwai Fong, the clubbing paradise.
Unlike the Lan Kwai Fong which is full of bars and clubs, the SoHo is mainly for dinning. Wide ranges of cuisine can be found in the SoHo, like French, Italian, American, Greek, Thailand, Chinese, Japanese and even fusion dishes. There are classic and luxurious restaurants where you can enjoy fine dinning or you could find a casual and cozy restaurant to chat and laugh with your friends loudly. When I have no idea of what to have dinner with my friends, I always go to the SoHo to drop by any one of my favourite restaurants. In SoHo, there are always so many choices to match with the style and taste of each visitor.
The Enoteca on Elgrin is a relaxed and hip mediterranean wine bar and cafe with tapas, salads and rustic pizzas. It has comfortable environment with a lovely outdoor backyard and semi-outdoor shop front. It opens from 12noon to 2am and it serves set lunch and full weekend brunch.
Their salads, tapas and pizzas are delicious. I especially love their weekend brunch where there are lots of choices and the cost is only around US$9.0 to US$12.0 with a glass of fruit juice or tea / coffee. In the night, I usually like ordering their white wine patter or red wine patter to share among with my friends. The patters are the selections of some signature tapas in the restaurant which go well with the wine. One more worth mentioning point is the freshly baked bread of the restaurant (free when ordering dinner dishes), I usually can’t resist the temptation and have to request more.

Naming as the wine bar, the Enoteca has marked it’s identity by the comprehensive wine list it offers to its visitors. It serves over 20 world class wines by the glass and 60 by the bottle, in very competitive prices. I especially love ordering the Prosecco / Pink Prosecco (a kind of sparkling wine, at only US$5.0) in the afternoon, reading my books, writing my articles and spending a whole weekend afternoon there.
The Enoteca has a sister wine bar named BACAR, located on the Shelley street in (close to the Enoteca). I shall introduce its sister restaurant to you later.
The semi-outdoor shop front of the Enoteca is really enjoyable, not only that we could enjoy some outdoor air, we could also watch many pretty people come and go along the small
SoHo street. Watching over the street and saying “hi” to the passersby are really cheerful and relaxing experiences.

What a fine place to dine! Is there a time limit when you’re going to spend a few hours reading a book or writing an article there?
Dear David,
Indeed, this is a very nice and comfortable place to stay for a whole afternoon. There is no time limit there, spending a few hours there is my habit now.
: )
There sure are nice places to spend quality time in Hong Kong.
Unfortunately my town doesn’t offer almost anything close to that. But hey, that’s why they invented travel!
On another note, I think these guys should treat you like a queen for describing the place in such an attractive manner.
Dear Armand,
Good place worths good sharing! I do love this shop very much! : )
