22 Ships

Spanish restaurant in Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
About
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.

★★★★★via Google“Last week had a great dinner at 22 Ships in PMQ. Spanish tapas, but a bit more elevated than average. The vibe is relaxed and lively, ideal for a casual night with friends. • Croquettes: Really nice and creamy, though quite soft in the middle. If you like that molten centre, you’ll love them. • Spanish tortilla: Awesome. Classic eggy-potato flavour, rich but not heavy. • Chicken & prawn paella: The best dish of the night. Perfectly crispy chicken, perfectly cooked prawns, and well-seasoned rice. Not super traditional, but the flavours were awesome. The chicken and prawn paella is easily good for three people if you’re sharing a few tapas, but two hungry diners could finish it between them. Overall, 22 Ships is a great pick if you want solid Spanish food in a fun, no-fuss setting. Modern, flavour-packed, and friendly service.”

★★★★★via Google“We have been here twice for the past week. Very good tapas place. Service is even more amazing. Highly recommend the chef’s menu. My favorites were the basque cheesecake and the prawn. The truffle basque cheesecake is undoubtedly the best basque cheesecake I’ve ever had. Byron (?) was super cool and passionate about the dishes that they serve there. I would come back alone just for the cheesecake and olives. Best olives ever!! You have to try 22 Ships when you are in the area or in HK.”

Excellent flavors and authentic ingredients. It's a great spot if you want high-quality Spanish cuisine with the freedom to choose exactly what hits the table.”

★★★★★via Google“Fantastic Spanish dining at 22 Ships in HK! We loved every bite — the fresh anchovies, beautifully prepared tuna, succulent king prawns, the impressive turbot dish, and the refreshing gazpacho were all outstanding. Bold flavours, premium ingredients, and perfect execution across the board. The vibrant yet cozy atmosphere made it ideal for sharing. Huge thanks to our amazing waiter Byron, who was attentive, friendly, and gave excellent recommendations throughout the evening. A real standout in Hong Kong. We’ll definitely be back soon! 🇪🇸❤️”

★★★★★via Google“A memorable experience from start to finish! We began with a selection of tapas, including croquettes, tomato bread, and blistered green peppers, each bursting with authentic, well-balanced flavors. The croquettes were perfectly crispy outside with a creamy filling, while the tomato bread was fresh and vibrant. Peggy, our attentive server, helped us share the Grilled Octopus while explaining its preparation in detail. The chicken mousse stuffed morels showcased a creative East-meets-West twist by a Spanish chef who spent five years in Singapore, blending earthy and silky textures beautifully. The highlight was the red drumfish paella, a limited-time offering cooked in rich, slow-extracted prawn oil. Every spoonful was packed with umami depth, enriched further by the crispy fish skin. Peggy’s exceptional service tied everything together. Her deep knowledge, thoughtful wine suggestions, and genuine enthusiasm for the food elevated our entire evening. We left full, impressed, and already thinking about our next visit.”
