First review ever made on Openrice and would only make sense to one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in HK. Frantzen's Kitchen is a great neighborhood joint that replaced NOSH that allows you to have a great dining experience without all the formalities of dining at a Michelin-starred place. The menu is completely a la carte allowing you to pick and choose what you'd like to eat and the staff recommends that you share dishes so that you can try more on the menu.Highlights of the dinin

First review ever made on Openrice and would only make sense to one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in HK.

Frantzen's Kitchen is a great neighborhood joint that replaced NOSH that allows you to have a great dining experience without all the formalities of dining at a Michelin-starred place. The menu is completely a la carte allowing you to pick and choose what you'd like to eat and the staff recommends that you share dishes so that you can try more on the menu.

Highlights of the dining experience includes: Swedish sushi, Onion Soup Veloute (as recommended by the staff), Scallops with Potato Foam, and the desserts.

The Head Somm at the restaurant is from France and is very knowledgeable about his wine. All of the F&B staff are great and very accommodating. Make sure if you can, to get a seat at the bar rather than at the tables. It's truly an experience to watch the staff prepare then serve your dishes on the spot.

Highly recommend for special occasions and/or if you're visiting from out of town! Place doesn't come cheap however and be prepared to break the bank a little (and maybe eat some late night McD's after as well).

Frantzen's Kitchen, locates in Sheng Wan, recently opened by michelin 2 stars chef Bjorn Frantzen and Jim Lordahl from Sweden. We have been looking forward to try out for a month for its unique Northern Europe style dishes.

Restaurant is rather small, around 35 seats along with open bar style. Very modern and simple straight forward setting. Menu is written on the table with sketches of food and ingredients being highlighted. There is a hidden tray of silverware within the table and the choice of silverware is really high quality.

We ordered 2 types of snacks, 3 main dishes, and 2 desserts for sharing as waiter has explained to us the portion is rather small.

Apple Lingonberry Macaron: very intense foie gras with a touch of apple cyric flavour. It is a one bite snack that leave you a very refresh feeling.

Swedish Sushi: it is also made out of foie gras flavour white moss that is less intense but the crunchy texture is completely different. There is a slight bitterness feeling towards the end that give you a completely different taste experience.

Roasted Hokkaido Scallop: scallop with ginger oil served in dashi soup. A slight touch of sourness matches very well with the scallops. Very good but too bad that the portion is very small.

Grilled Chicken: according chef Lordahl that it is being cooked in 3 different temperatures for 3 hours that make it juicy and tendered and it matches perfectly with the articoke sauce and muchroom powder. The hazelnut provides a different texture that brings the dish to a more unique and complicated level. It is a must to try out.

Swedish Dairy Cow: what a way to wrap up the main as beef is being dried aged for 100 days and loaded with strong meat flavour. In addition, your taste bud will be attacked by the intense truffle sauce once the slice of beef is dipped into. Chef is even recommended to drink the truffle sauce afterwards. Boy, the flavour really lasts for quite a while.

For dessert, we ordered the Stricky Beetroot which is made out of vinegar and berries. The taste is rather suttled with very good balance of sweetness and sourness. Personally, I think it is better than the Smoked Ice Cream that we also ordered as it could be a bit too much sweet.

All dishes are nicely presented on the plate, while service is also exceptional as each waiter explains in detail for each dish. Chef Jim Lofdahl also came to our table for a greeting. However, an important remind that the food portion is really small and if you have a huge appetitie, this restaurant may not suit you. I would recommend each person to order 2 types of snacks, 2 main dishes, and one desert. Price is not cheap but top quality ingredient along with unique flavour and excellent service makes it an exceptional dinning experience.

This is definitely a STAR making restaurant and highly recommended.

之前幾次到訪瑞典Stockholm都沒有機會吃到當地名店之一的Frantzén。當知道大廚會於今年年底前在香港開新餐廳Frantzén's Kitchen，主打帶點亞洲美食元素的現代北歐菜，就已經很期待^^這日我們預先上餐廳網頁訂好枱，便準時來到上環太平山街與差館上街交界的Frantzén's Kitchen。餐廳裝修簡約時尚，晚上的燈光柔和，用餐氣氛輕鬆自在。雖然店面不算大，但座位不會安排得太密，空間感不錯。這裡座位安排分2部分，分別是可近距離與廚師交流的Kitchen counter和Dining room，共有座位約30個。據餐廳介紹，無論坐在餐枱還是吧枱，都是用同一個menu點餐。這夜我們訂了坐在Dining room。Frantzén's Kitchen的menu主要分3類: snacks，dishes & desserts，全部單點大家選餐自由度更高。而menu items會約3個月換一次。先吃點snacks，4款snacks中我們選了3款，全部都讓我們吃得很高興呢！Apple- & lingonberry macaron ($60)。彷如是件馬卡龍迷你三文治，中間夾著2層

之前幾次到訪瑞典Stockholm都沒有機會吃到當地名店之一的Frantzén。當知道大廚會於今年年底前在香港開新餐廳Frantzén's Kitchen，主打帶點亞洲美食元素的現代北歐菜，就已經很期待^^

這日我們預先上餐廳網頁訂好枱，便準時來到上環太平山街與差館上街交界的Frantzén's Kitchen。餐廳裝修簡約時尚，晚上的燈光柔和，用餐氣氛輕鬆自在。雖然店面不算大，但座位不會安排得太密，空間感不錯。

這裡座位安排分2部分，分別是可近距離與廚師交流的Kitchen counter和Dining room，共有座位約30個。據餐廳介紹，無論坐在餐枱還是吧枱，都是用同一個menu點餐。這夜我們訂了坐在Dining room。

Frantzén's Kitchen的menu主要分3類: snacks，dishes & desserts，全部單點大家選餐自由度更高。而menu items會約3個月換一次。

先吃點snacks，4款snacks中我們選了3款，全部都讓我們吃得很高興呢！Apple- & lingonberry macaron ($60)。彷如是件馬卡龍迷你三文治，中間夾著2層甘香軟滑的厚鵝肝，與鬆脆的apple macaron，味道與質感都很有層次。

Apple- & lingonberry macaron

"French toast" ($95)，這真是非一般的鹹西多士。最上層的鬆是黑松露，而脆脆多士大概因為用了aged cheese與balsamico vinegar，入口味道芝香濃郁，但又不會有"漏"的感覺。

而"Swedish sushi" ($80)，酥脆white moss白苔夾著一薄片鹿肉，凍鵝肝醬，及香濃的牛肝菌蛋黃醬，相當滋味。

吃過小食後，便從menu的dishes部份選些想吃的。Dishes的份量雖比剛才差不多都是一口份量的Snacks稍大、但比起一般的主菜來說仍屬偏細，算是小碟portion吧。對女生來說，吃完小食後每位應該可以輕易吃到起碼2款小碟。

Swedish dairy cow

我們從9款選擇中挑了5款，當中我最喜歡就是Swedish dairy cow ($280)。Dried aged 100日，肉香頗濃，粉嫩色的牛肉片每一塊都很軟嫩。配上加上蘑菇條，以及特別的truffle ponzu。清香的柑橘，與香濃的牛很夾。

Roasted Swedish pork belly ($195)，皮烤得相當香脆，用刀輕輕切下去已經聽到清脆的咔嚓聲。

豬腩肉吃起來頗甘香，也不會感到肥膩。配搭著甜美南瓜蓉，香脆南瓜籽，還有脆炸kale，和乾黑蒜等，不只賣相美，味道配搭也精彩。

Roasted Swedish pork belly

Sashimi of Norwegian salmon ($165)，用挪威三文魚炮製的"北歐風刺身"，挪威三文魚片配上皇帝蟹肉，魚籽與刁草等，入口相當鮮，味道豐富。

Sashimi of Norwegian salmon

North Atlantic cod "Janssons" ($230)，配搭洋蔥、北歐菜常見的Kalix魚籽以及preserved anchovy juice，賣相很美。鱈魚肉做得極嫩滑，只是稍嫌配搭偏鹹。

North Atlantic cod "Janssons"

Roasted Hokkaido scallop ($205)，北海道帶子上枱後再把熱辣辣的"Nordic dashi"薑油清湯倒進碗內，鮮甜的帶子、清香的清湯及酸香清香的finger lime的配搭。

Roasted Hokkaido scallop

賣相與味道都很有心思，唯一挑剔是帶子煮得稍過火。

Roasted Hokkaido scallop

甜品有3款選擇，我選了Smoked ice cream ($115)。熱salted fudge倒在朱古力球上，數秒後融化。

Smoked ice cream

朱古力球內裡是smoked ice cream，配著果仁粒及甘甜的朱古力，朱古力迷表示吃得超滿足～

飲品方面，我們這夜選了法國白酒，其實這裡有不少瑞典啤酒選擇。愛啤酒的朋友應該會很高興吧。

Frantzén's Kitchen無論小食、小碟抑或甜品都賣相精緻，食材配搭有心思，兼運用了不少在香港較少會遇上的北歐食材，例如Kalix魚籽，Lingonberry，Swedish dairy cow等，實在難得。服務方面，亦相當專業又友善。

Frantzén's Kitchen的食物與氣氛都讓我差點以為自己身在北歐的bistro，感覺很好。這2年已經多次到訪過北歐，所以暫時明年沒計劃會再去了。真高興現在香港有了Frantzén's Kitchen，下次掛念起北歐美食時，不用飛十多個鐘頭就吃得到。
