I had been eager to try the Lobster risotto at The Optimist. While the food was tasty, my friend pointed out that it was quite overpriced, and unfortunately, I didn’t feel satisfied after the meal. Although the dishes were well-prepared and flavorful, they lacked that special “wow” factor. If you’re searching for a fancy Spanish restaurant, there are other options available in Hong Kong that you may consider.

話說我有個朋友好鍾意Pirata Group旗下嘅餐廳，咁啱我又話好想食🇪🇸西班牙菜，所以佢就二話不說咁book咗The Optimist。一入到餐廳已經感受到個份濃濃嘅歡快感🥳，因為有唔少客人係會專程book呢間餐廳慶祝生日，當晚大大話話都聽咗職員唱咗不下5次嘅生日歌。講返嘢食先，食西班牙菜梗係要嗌tapas㗎啦。Pulpo a la Gallega 慢煮八爪魚🐙超鮮嫩，再加小小辣味道很出色。Wagyu Beef Cheek肉質鬆軟再配南瓜蓉都很不錯。至於main就嗌咗招牌菜Juicy Lobster Rice招牌龍蝦飯係經典嘅西班牙燴飯，成隻龍蝦🦞放上去，啲飯浸泡著龍蝦湯汁十分入味，但就有少少略為咸咗啲。mpossible Zucchini 姐係翠肉瓜釀蕃茄肉醬，味道就係字面睇到嘅味道😅。另外仲叫咗Secreto Iberico Pork炭燒豬頸肉🐷只要夠香脆，真係永遠都係無得輸嘅。甜品叫咗份Signature Churro Bao，包面淋咗海鹽焦糖sauce，入面包住一條churro同埋雲尼拿雪糕，口感豐富外脆內軟😋。整體嚟講啲食物質素中上，未到十分驚喜，價錢小貴。但如果一班朋友

之前食過呢間人氣西班牙菜嘅超抵tea set，覺得佢地嘅Tapas幾高質，所以今次就黎試下賣相超吸引、好多人大讚嘅lobster rice！餐廳充滿異國風情，有啲位仲好岩打卡添~講到慶祝生日， @piratagrouphk 旗下餐廳真係一個唔錯嘅選擇。上甜品嘅時候，會有三四個staff一齊唱生日歌，今次仲有staff彈結他，好有氣氛，場面好不尷尬呢~ 壽星仔有支蠟燭吹下之餘，仲會有張即影即有同coupon (今晚就聽左七八次生日歌)👨🏻‍🍳CHEF FEED ME, POR FAVOR $568pp(有選擇困難症嘅朋友仔 不妨跟我地嗌呢個廚師發辦)1️⃣Black Truffle Croquettes經典tapas西班牙炸丸子 外薄脆內軟綿，以松露片同松露醬作點綴，入口幾香黑松露味，毫不油膩~2️⃣Tuna Tartare 吞拿魚他他有驚喜喎！香脆嘅crouton裝滿軟滑嘅牛油果蓉同魚味濃郁嘅吞拿魚，加埋三文魚籽滿口鮮味，不失清新~3️⃣Pulpo a la Gallega慢煮八爪魚口感相當軟腍，底下嘅薯仔軟綿好濃薯仔味，紅椒粉味道温和 唔會搶左八爪魚嘅鮮味。4️⃣Huevos Rotos with

今日朋友生日，特登book咗呢間餐廳，因為之前都有同事推介過，話呢間餐廳好適合慶祝生日，果然成餐飯都冇拎我哋失望！首先，waitress嚟到先問我哋係咪第一次食，因為我哋係第一次嚟，所以佢都特別介紹咗個餐牌。餐牌除咗可以單點食物，仲有一個叫Chef Feed Me嘅menu，裏面會包括5款大廚推介The Optimist最signature嘅菜式，仲會包括Lobster Rice，價錢每位$568。都幾適合第一次嚟嘅朋友，但係又唔知嗌咩好，呢個menu就啱曬！不過因為我哋嚟之前都睇過個餐牌，都有幾款想特別試下，所以就冇揀到呢一個Chef Feed Me餐牌。我哋點兩個starter，TUNA TARTARE 同 PULPO A LA GALLEGA，兩款都好好食，見個他他都比較多人介紹，就唔特別講😂第二款佢係八爪魚片再配上薯仔喺底，呢一款個味道會比較濃味啲，比較似西班牙嘅口味，食落都okay，不過不失！另外我哋都嗌咗一份蝦，呢一個蝦非常之驚喜，因為佢好鮮味之餘，而且蒜油味都好香！本來我哋淨係嗌左一個Lobster Rice，但係食食吓覺得唔係好夠飽，所以再嗌多一份Rib EyeLobs

呢個聖誕假，除咗去睇燈飾、行市集之外，仲去咗呢間餐廳食好西～呢間餐廳裝修以藍綠色為主調，沙發、吊燈、木枱等等配搭，襯托出高貴嘅感覺，而係呢個聖誕月，仲擺放咗好大棵好靚嘅嘅聖誕樹，再配以一串串燈飾點綴，非常浪漫！(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎) ✎ 前菜餐包 呢個餐包都算係我食過幾好味嘅前菜。表皮脆，入面勁鬆軟，淡淡麥香味，配上蒜蓉牛油，perfect match～✎ Tuna Tartare 有六塊吞拿魚他他，吞拿魚味道新鮮，質感有如入口即融，入面仲有三文魚籽同牛油果蓉，既有三文魚籽嘅鹹味，亦帶有牛油果同吞拿魚嘅鮮味 ，味道配搭意外地夾，好好食，而佢外面嘅脆皮酥，口感非常酥脆O̤̮K̤̮‬ ✎ Pulpo A La Gallega一片片八爪魚，每片八爪魚下面都配有薄切薯仔，八爪魚同薯仔質感幾濕潤 ，八爪魚有咬口，但唔會太煙韌，鹹鹹地，表面灑咗香草同紅辣椒粉作調味，味道相當香甜，加埋薯仔一齊食，整體感覺幾清新。✎ Juicy Lobster Rice二人份量，飯都幾多汁，帶有濃濃龍蝦味，而且彈牙同有咬口，而龍蝦肉非常爽口，整體質素唔錯( ˶ˊᵕˋ)੭♡✎ Oysters 幾冰凍，多汁，表面加咗酸醋嘅材料，食落整體
