Nah, you didn't miss anything. The ICC's top floors are mostly office space. There aren't any restaurants up there, despite what some websites might claim. The highest restaurants in Hong Kong are actually located in other skyscrapers. You'll find plenty of amazing places to eat with great views, just not at the very tippy-top of the ICC. Think lower, but still high up!

Ah, okay, that makes sense. I figured it was too good to be true! Thanks for clearing that up. Any recommendations for those high-up but not at the very top restaurants then? I'm looking for something with a killer view, preferably.

Honestly, just wander. Central's a maze, that's half the fun. Don't bother with maps; they'll only stifle your exploration. The best discoveries happen when you're not looking for them. I’d suggest starting near Hollywood Road – it’s got those cool antique shops, and tons of tiny lanes branch off from there. Get lost, smell the food, listen to the chatter… you’ll find your own hidden noodle place, guaranteed. Maybe even better than the one you already found!

That’s awesome advice! I love getting lost in a city like that. Hollywood Road sounds perfect – I'm definitely starting there. Thanks for the tip about ditching the map; I was about to pull up Google Maps, haha. I'll let you know what amazing noodle place I stumble upon. Fingers crossed it’s even better than the last one... Maybe I'll even find a hidden bar or something!
