Ovo Cafe is a vegetarian restaurant with two branches including Sheung Wan and this branch in Wan Cha at the historic Wan Chai Market building at the intersection of Queen's Road East and Wan Chai Road. Opening hours are 11.30am to 10pm daily.

We dined here for lunch recently and really liked the meal served up as well as the ambience and decor of Ovo Cafe. The indoor seating area is set in the Ovo Garden which is basically a flower and plant shop. As such, there are plants everywhere, creating a forest like dining area.

You order at the counter which is in front of a small kitchen and food preparation area. Menu is relatively small list of international dishes, allowing them to concentrate on what they do well.

During our meal, we very much enjoyed their Pesto Awakening (HK$95) which is a nicely prepared penne with freshly made pesto, pine nuts and just enough sun-dried tomato. This was a very good pasta dish.

We also tried their Tom Yummy (H$95) which was absolutely delicious. This is a sliced wheat noodle served with a bit of mushroom and tofu slices, mixed with an excellent coconut based Thai Tom Yum sauce that was a bit spicy and highly flavourful. Dish is topped with fresh arugula and saffron. We both really loved this dish and want to return to reorder soon.

For desert we tried the cheesecake (HK$38) offered at the counter. Believe this was a tofu cheesecake, not too sweet with good flavour. Texture was soft an smooth. Not a stellar desert but a good way to finish our meal.

Overall, we very much liked our recent meal at Ovo Cafe in Wan Chai. Mains are fair sized, priced very reasonably for Hong Kong and tasted great. This is a strong showing for a vegetarian meal and a nice dining environment, something we look forward to experiencing again soon.
