Nestled in bustling Central in Hong Kong, 22 Ships is a “no-service-charge” Spanish restaurant that offers rustic yet refined Spanish fare in a lively, relaxed setting. Named after its original address on Ship Street, a neighbourhood favourite since its opening in 2012.
Now, having moved to our new home in Central, 22 Ships continues to bring the social sharing vibe that everyone loves to Hong Kong. Helmed by Madrid-born chef Antonio Oviedo, the menu features a range of traditional yet modern multi-regional Spanish dishes.
The cosy space, influenced by its origins, features three dining areas and outdoor terraces. At the casual Bodega table, guests without reservations can enjoy a dynamic drink menu focusing on Spanish wines, sangrias, beers, classic street-social style drinks, including choices of sherry, vermouth-based cocktails, and homemade liquors.
