The Restaurant
On Theatre Lane, in the heart of Central.
OUR STORY
Established in 2000, Dot Cod became a beloved fixture in Central Hong Kong, serving seafood with a reassuring nod to British tradition. It quickly established itself as one of Hong Kong's most respected seafood restaurants. For 24 years, it has delighted guests with exceptional cuisine, impeccable service, and carefully sourced fresh seafood and ingredients from around the world, earning the loyalty of generations of diners and seafood enthusiasts.
In 2026, Dot Cod proudly began a new chapter at Takshing House, Theatre Lane, 20 Des Voeux Road Central. Nestled in the heart of Central, the restaurant continues its tradition of excellence in an elegant setting perfectly suited to business lunches, corporate entertaining, and memorable social occasions. Rest assured, this new chapter promises to be just as vibrant, just as delicious, and just as full of character as the previous twenty-four years.
THE LEGEND RETURNS
While the main lobby of Takshing House fronts Des Voeux Road Central, Dot Cod enjoys its own dedicated entrance on Theatre Lane, providing a more intimate and welcoming arrival experience for guests.
The exterior of Dot Cod has been thoughtfully designed to complement the elegant architectural character of Takshing House. Its modern façade, expansive windows, generous ceiling heights, distinctive colour palette, and carefully considered layout create a striking presence while respecting the building's refined aesthetic.
Dot Cod at Takshing House spans two levels, the Ground Floor and First Floor, connected by a beautifully designed staircase and a transparent lift. This distinctive layout creates a series of unique dining spaces, each with its own character and ambience, offering guests a variety of dining experiences suited to different preferences and occasions.
One kitchen, one menu
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, Happy Hour, Oyster Night, Sunday Roast, all of it comes out of the same kitchen, off the same menu. Nothing is scaled down or simplified depending on the hour. What changes is the occasion, not what's cooked.
Both floors are open to all guests. Upstairs is a quieter room drawing on Dot Cod's Hong Kong Cricket Club heritage, with Clara's Room available for private dining and group bookings.
GROUND FLOOR
The Main Bar
Upon entering Dot Cod, guests are welcomed into the main bar, a vibrant and inviting space ideal for happy hour gatherings, pre-dinner cocktails, and social occasions. Taking pride of place within the bar is Dot Cod's iconic seawater aquarium, beautifully showcasing tropical fish and live corals. This captivating feature adds a sense of vitality and elegance to the interior, creating a memorable first impression for guests.
Happy Hour, aptly named "Dockside Sip After Dive", is available Sunday through Thursday between 4:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., featuring Dot Cod's signature cocktails, premium beers and an extensive wine list at special prices. A tempting selection of bar snacks is also available, making it the perfect setting to unwind after work, catch live sporting action, enjoy a pre-dinner or simply relax in good company.
The Dining Room
The Main Dining Room features soaring ceilings and a spacious layout, creating an impressive setting for lunch, dinner and special occasions. A bespoke seashell and pebble mural, together with a custom-crafted chandelier inspired by the sea, serves as a striking focal point, accentuating the dramatic ceiling height of over four metres.
Signature design elements from the original Dot Cod, including the iconic iron sea-animal sculptures, bubble-pattern iron panels, and curated artworks, have been thoughtfully reinstated, preserving the restaurant's distinctive character and creating a warm, sophisticated space that blends heritage with contemporary elegance.
Dot Cod Café
The Café is open daily from 8:00 a.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. on weekends and public holidays, serving freshly baked pastries, artisan coffee, and light refreshments throughout the day. Whether you're grabbing a coffee to go, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, or taking a short break from the office, it provides a welcoming retreat in the heart of Central.
In years past, Takshing House was home to The Rainbow Service, a popular tuck shop on the eighth floor, a familiar gathering place for tenants throughout the day. While the menu and beverage selection at Dot Cod's Café may differ from those once offered at The Rainbow Service, its spirit remains the same.
Affectionately known as the "Rainbow Corner" of Takshing House, the Dot Cod Café continues the tradition of offering a comfortable place to pause, connect, and enjoy a moment away from the bustle of Central.
Take a deep breath, savour the moment, and make the most of your well-deserved break at The Rainbow Corner in Dot Cod.
FIRST FLOOR
The Chater
Located on the first floor of Dot Cod, The Chater offers an intimate and refined setting inspired by the rich heritage of The Hong Kong Cricket Club's historic Chater Road Cricket Ground.
A striking stone feature wall showcases the crests used by the Club throughout its history, while a series of bespoke hand-painted murals depicts the four pavilions that once stood on the Chater Road Cricket Ground. Together, these distinctive features celebrate the Club's 175-year journey and its long association with Central. Today, The Chater provides members and guests with a welcoming gathering place that honours the Club's traditions while embracing a new chapter.
Clara's Room
Within the space, Clara's room can be created using a sliding partition, offering a private setting for smaller gatherings, business meetings and special occasions.
More than a dining destination, The Chater is a place to gather, reflect, and create new memories. Dot Cod looks forward to welcoming generations to come, remaining firmly rooted in the Club's heritage while embracing the future.
