The Verandah sits next to Dining Room. It’s a fine dining venue that is perhaps more intimate than its larger and grander neighbour. Its glass ceiling offers unusual views across the Central skyline, especially in the evening, and its compact size means it serves as a useful meeting or private event space. For large events its doors open out to allow it to serve as an annexe to the adjoining Dining Room.
Please refer to the FCC’s Dress Code, Young Person Rules and other Regulations.

Housed on the first floor of the Club, the expansive Dining Room is the FCC’s spectacular fine dining restaurant. Architecturally the room is outstanding, with glorious circular windows and a rare open truss timber ceiling that supports the tiled roof above, and the space provides an apt fine-dining setting. The restaurant serves a sophisticated blend of western and Asian cuisine and hosts regular seasonal, regional or wine specific special-menu evenings. The space is unrivalled in Hong Kong and makes a superb wedding, event or conference venue. The Club uses the Main Dining for its many lunch, dinner or award speaker events.

The Main Bar and the surrounding Lounge area on the ground floor are the physical, social and spiritual heart of the FCC. Described repeatedly in assorted travel literature as “one of the world’s great watering holes” and used as a backdrop in numerous novels, movies and documentaries, the Main Bar is something of a Hong Kong institution.
It features an extensive menu of value food and beverage offerings, including familiar Club favourites such as bangers and mash, fish and chips and chicken tikka masala, as well as Asian tastes. There is a rotating menu of weekly specials. And the best prices on drinks in town!
Please refer to the FCC’s Dress Code, Young Person Rules and other Regulations.
