This is my go-to brunch place more for the atmosphere than the actual food. SettingThe best thing about Aberdeen Street Social is that you feel like you're dining in a garden, surrounded by Hollywood Road's leafy greenness. It's situated in a courtyard blocking off the sometimes-oppressing road action of Soho / Aberdeen Street. Atmosphere is light and airy, lots of space, a healthy amount of people around but it all adds to the pleasantry rather than infringing on your space. ServiceCheery enoug

This is my go-to brunch place more for the atmosphere than the actual food. 
Setting
The best thing about Aberdeen Street Social is that you feel like you're dining in a garden, surrounded by Hollywood Road's leafy greenness. It's situated in a courtyard blocking off the sometimes-oppressing road action of Soho / Aberdeen Street. Atmosphere is light and airy, lots of space, a healthy amount of people around but it all adds to the pleasantry rather than infringing on your space. 
Service
Cheery enough. I just care that my water glass be filled regularly because I drink a lot of water.

The Acia berry bowl was fresh and delicious, but honestly we wish it could have been bigger. That's almost $100 for something that almost fits in the palm of my hand?!

I switched the bacon for smoked salmon. Spinach was good, but sourdough (or at least that's what I think it was) was awful. It was so chewy and doughy in all the wrong ways. They have yet to get their bread technique right. It tasted like something they froze a long time ago then toasted halfway, then served. Hollandaise could also be improved on.

The fish & chips was the best dish we had. I guess it is a British restaurant after all! Perfectly battered, fresh and excellent texture and taste for the cod. 
Pancake: Bacon, fried egg and maple syrup (HK$125)

Forgot to take a photo of this but it was decent for a person who doesn't like pancakes. Maple syrup a guilty indulgence. I would have preffered the waffles, though, but I was overruled.

Would I go back?
Yes. As much as the food is less than impressive, I enjoy the restaurant as a whole. It's a great place to hang out and relax for weekend brunch, without having to spend an arm and a leg on those champagne buffets... although in the end we spent more than 300 per person anyway, don't ask how that happened..
