Layback Cafe & Bar

Kale salad was not dressed properly before serving so the kale was tough. Otherwise all the other food was pretty good! I loved the mildly spicy Korean fusion carbonara.

The restaurant has a stylish decor, with walls and shelves displaying vinyl records. The main course options are somewhat limited, featuring pizzas, burgers, pasta, and risotto. However, the drink selection is quite extensive, and they have a buy-one-get-one-free offer on beer. The signature dish, Crabonara, doesn’t resemble traditional Carbonara, but the combination of crab meat, cream sauce, and flat pasta works well together. The rest of the food is just average.

超足料生拆蟹粉拌北京拉麵 Every bite is so full of flavor, but not too heavy! Probably the best crab noodles I’ve had! The presentation was adorable, and you can tell how much crabmeat was used when pouring the crab meat sauce onto the noodles! 勁香北海道海膽帆立貝幼蛋麵 So many people recommended it and THEY WERE ALL RIGHT! Defo a must try, the noodles were all evenly covered with sauce and flavor, and their ingredients are all very tasty and fresh! The lobster risotto and waffle also looked amazing and we’ll definitely be back to try that!

Weekend layback day at Layback cafe & bar. I had lunch with my bestie at this cafe on a Saturday and it was a wonderful lunch. The cafe got a retro 80s theme and they display all famous music tracks in the cafe. It reminds me of some good music that I love in the past and I love it! When I was thinking that this cafe probably only sell its interior designs, I found their food are pretty amazing too! I ordered wagyu beef cubes, lobster linguine and fish fillet and they all taste sooooo good! My bestie was also amazed by her mango sticky rice drink and she said it taste exactly like mango sticky rice lol. Overall we love this cafe and would definitely come back again! @maphk2021

All the food we had were delicious and quite special. I particularly liked the impossible vegetarian croquette and pizza. A wide variety of both tea, cocktail and mocktail were available. Staff were warm and efficient.

omg this is so good!! I thought it was more for igable dishes but I was wrong, they taste so good and you can tell they are with careful design The most impressive one is definitely the crab roe bisque with tteokbokki and sourdough bread. I want to eat it again NOW and the cocktail are so cute! try the mango sticky rice!

we went for the desserts but they had an incredible menu. loved all the Christmas decorations and the view of hkfc. dessert portions are massive but you do need to wait a while as they serve it fresh. so worth the wait !!
