Café de Coral (traditional Chinese: 大家樂; pinyin: dà jiā lè) SEHK: 0341 is a fast food franchise based in Hong Kong. The chain is one of the largest and most common fast food chains in Hong Kong with more than 120 restaurants in operation (as of March 2004). It was established in 1968 and today caters to about 300,000 people on an average day.

In February 2006, it announced that it would spend approximately HK$100 million in introducing its new 4G design of its restaurants. This would renovate its restaurants to include plasma televisions, chromatic mirrors, and Italian marble and leathers. [1]

[edit] Cuisine

The food is typically Chinese with some Western dishes. The restaurant only offers breakfast during the morning (lunch during the noon hours, tea time meals in the afternoon and so on) and as the day progress, its menu changes to reflect the appropriate meals being sold at that given time of the day. In another words, one is not able to order breakfast meals during dinner time. All of their plates, cups, and bowls are made from melamine resin since all of their utensils and dinnerware are washed and reused.

[edit] Locations

The restaurant operates in all urban and town areas of Hong Kong. In commercial districts, there might be three to four in an area. In new towns, branches often opened in major shopping centres, including those of public housing estates. In Mainland China, Cafe de Coral has spread to Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jiangmen, Shenzhen, Macau, Foshan, and is quickly moving to other cities.
