With so many bars, restaurants, and delivery services on offer in Hong Kong, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when it comes to choosing one. Luckily, there are a plethora of food and drink-related mobile apps that can help us out. Whatever the occasion, these trusty apps offer plenty of options with just a few taps on the phone.
Bon-Eat-O provides a seamless and convenient shopping experience for food lovers in Hong Kong, bringing products typically reserved for Michelin-starred restaurants right to your homes! Available through the App Store and Google Play, the user-friendly Bon-Eat-O app offers a variety of deli selections, frozen goods, preserves, and drinks, including speciality products that are hard to find elsewhere in Hong Kong.
Leveraging trusted seafood supplier M&C Asia’s wholesale expertise, Bon-Eat-O offers competitive prices. With one-day delivery service, stocking your fridge and hosting dinner parties has never been easier. What’s more, it’s fun—its interactive loyalty programme has many perks, including a fish avatar that evolves the more you order!
Bon-Eat-O has everything you need in one place. You can take your pick from a range of speciality fine foods from France, including fresh wild fish, duck confit leg, pâté en croûte, saucisson, andouillettes, puff pastries, organic grains, cheese, wine, exclusive items from Maison Dehesa, organic soft drinks from La Boissonnerie, and ultra-fresh dairy from Brittany. Italian delicatessen products offered by Bon-Eat-O include pasta from the Marche region and sauces from the Apulia region, as well as organic products from local clean-eating online food store Foodcraft.
Flash Sales
What is Bon-Eat-O’s biggest perk, you ask? It hosts two weekly flash sales for discounted groceries on Mondays and Thursdays, so you can win big on savings! The app offers hot deals on seafood, meat, groceries, and fresh produce. Operating on a first-come, first-served basis to ensure that consumers have access to the freshest foods available, Bon-Eat-O offers competitive prices without compromising quality.

Don’t think we need to explain much with this one. As one of the most popular apps in Hong Kong for eating out, OpenRice has everything you need to know about where to go and what to eat—from basic contact info and food reviews, to price range and menus, plus images to help you decide. You can even make reservations through the app, and get a special discount on your meal depending on your booking time. Not overselling this app or anything, but you definitely need this one. Download for free on the App Store or Google Play.
Delivering meals from all your favourite local restaurants straight to your door, Foodpanda helps you find the best restaurants near you. Whether you’re craving some spicy Thai food, or in need of a healthy salad fix, Foodpanda’s wide selection of eateries means you’ll easily find something that can help tame your growling stomach. Best thing is, you can pay however you like—credit card, Paypal, or even cash on delivery. Download for free on the App Store or Google Play.
Similar to Foodpanda (but yet so different), Deliveroo allows you to search for restaurants around the area based on cuisine, location, and delivery time. Before you place your order, be sure to make a note of any food allergies for the restaurant to be aware of, as well as delivery instructions for the riders. Download for free on the App Store or Google Play.
With just a few taps on your phone, Chope helps you make an instant reservation at whatever restaurant you fancy, for whatever the occasion. Not only can you browse through a large range of restaurant recommendation guides, you can also earn loyalty “Chope-Dollars” with each reservation and redeem them for an exciting array of deals and promotions, so the more you use it, the more you’ll get rewarded! Download for free here.
Dining out in Hong Kong can often be expensive, but with Eatigo, you can get time-based discounts of up to 50 percent off your whole meal when you make a reservation through the app. From small-scale local eateries to fine dining, simply select the restaurant you would like to dine at, pick a time, date, a discount on offer, and you’re good to go. Download for free on the App Store or Google Play.
Instead of waiting for hours queuing up at a restaurant, get your phone to do it for you! The Gulu app allows you to remotely get yourself a queuing ticket with real-time queuing status, and push notifications to remind you when it’s almost time for your ticket to be called. You can even see restaurant menus and place your meal orders in advance. So you can use the app to get a ticket while you’re still at home, and have your table and food ready for you as soon as you arrive. Brilliant. Download for free on the App Store or Google Play.
If you’re like us, you’ve found yourself browsing the wine list at the restaurant, or staring and the wine isle at the supermarket for long painful minutes, with absolutely no idea what to pick. With Vivino, you can scan any wine bottle label, or enter its name in the search function to learn about the wine’s origin, value, taste characteristics, and aromas! What’s more, you can read reviews, save bottles you loved or want to try in “My Wines,” and get delivered directly through the app. Download for free on the App Store or Google Play.
Born in Hong Kong and raised in the UK, Jenny grew up with the best of both worlds. She loves just about anything to do with music and doesn’t shy away from belting out a tune or two when it comes to karaoke. If she’s not out and about exploring the city and practising her photography skills, she’s probably tucked up in bed with a book or glued to her laptop doing her online shopping.
