Cena is located in the popular neighborhood of Shuiwei, an area known for its F&B, Cena fits right in among them. In a prime location, a short hop from the metro this small but welcoming venue should be added to your rotation of dining choices. With indoor and outdoor seating of 25-30 this can cater for small or larger groups, and makes for a good work or study location due to its convenient location and peaceful ambiance.

The service here is excellent, very welcoming and friendly, with service available in both English and Chinese. The group behind Cena has a wealth of F&B experience, including a previous Shuiwei location Trafalgar, as well as multiple locations in Hong Kong, and this really shines through in both the professionalism and manner of the service.

Cool Ambience
There is a varied choice on the menu, with classics such as spaghetti bolognese, cheeseburgers, nachos, sandwiches, soups and more. The English breakfast and breakfast burger are nice additions to the menu too for those who want a brunch style meal throughout the week.
