El Cid Spanish Restaurant
This cheerful restaurant was one of the first to open on Knutsford Terrace, a narrow lane lined with bars and restaurants on the northern edge of Tsim Sha Tsui. Although the menu runs the gamut from classic paellas to grilled Chilean sea bass with tomato and roast bell-pepper salsa, probably the best thing to do is select from the several dozen tapas on the menu, which can make for wonderful nibbling or out-and-out feasts. Choices include grilled prawns, lamb kabobs, and spinach and cheese in filo pastry.
