The must eat French toast was fantastic despite a bit oily. Nice view fm the 2nd floor of the cafe. Very rustic feeling. Feels like old HK ..

Marvelous location near the night market. We stopped in mainly to see the authentic look that we'd read about in the guides and it's all there for sure and well worth seeing. Seems to be family run business and reasonably friendly but the cute surroundings outstrip the service (we were about to leave when my food, very surprisingly, arrived). We... More

Hong Kong has many local restaurants / cafés selling cheap food. Mido cafe looks like one of the last left from the origins of those establishments. Nothing has changed for years, and it is a pleasure to eat authentic food in a real local restaurant. I felt like I traveled in the Hong Kong of the 60's after leaving the... More

We went there for out dinner after reading some good reviews but we were rather disappointed. Though the food is alright and the hot milk teat was nice, it's nothing to shout about and we're rather shocked that the restaurant do not served wanton soup. And we also find it a bit expensive for the food we ate and would... More

A very special tea cafe..very well known amongst the foreigners as it is one of the most written about tea cafes in Hong Kong. It is indeed very retro with beautiful mosaic floors and old style ceiling fans. The location, opposite the Tin hau temple on the temple street, is very exotic. Have an early dinner here and then visit... More
