已有一段時間沒有光臨星街的Cepage,心思思想回味一下她們的巧手菜式,今天終於有此機會。久別之後,Cepage已經升價十倍,就連世界知名的飲食雜誌《餐廳》也在2010年將她評選為全球第九十六位最出色的餐廳,足以證明她在飲食界的地位舉足輕重。商務午餐並不便宜,一樣照身價「升呢」,前菜加主菜兩道菜要$370,前菜、主菜加甜品三道菜就要$418,倘若想試足各款廚師手藝,還可選擇尊貴的$1070套餐。 蒸塔斯曼尼亞帶子 (Grade: 2.5/5)揀選了普通三道菜的套餐,先來前菜的燒塔斯曼尼亞帶子,望了一眼已覺得有點不對勁,不要被以下照片所誤導,其實可謂的「帶子」原來是小小的扇貝,一啖子便可輕易吞下。味道就不值一提,帶子用了牛油、香草等一起燒,沒有特別的驚喜。 鵝肝醬配多士 (Grade: 4/5)鵝肝醬自家製做得非常滑溜,入口細嚼後還有濃厚的鵝肝香味,又不帶油滯,絕對是上乘佳品。 焦糖燒鵪鶉 (Grade: 4.5/5)廚師選用了六、七塊鵪鶉脾肉,切除筋後輕輕釀入些少份量的鮮鵝肝,再用焦糖慢火燒,火候真掌握得恰到好處,味道無懈可擊。特別要一讚這個wasabi醬汁,調較得很有技巧,完全沒有奪

已有一段時間沒有光臨星街的Cepage,心思思想回味一下她們的巧手菜式,今天終於有此機會。

久別之後,Cepage已經升價十倍,就連世界知名的飲食雜誌《餐廳》也在2010年將她評選為全球第九十六位最出色的餐廳,足以證明她在飲食界的地位舉足輕重。

商務午餐並不便宜,一樣照身價「升呢」,前菜加主菜兩道菜要$370,前菜、主菜加甜品三道菜就要$418,倘若想試足各款廚師手藝,還可選擇尊貴的$1070套餐。

蒸塔斯曼尼亞帶子 (Grade: 2.5/5)
揀選了普通三道菜的套餐,先來前菜的燒塔斯曼尼亞帶子,望了一眼已覺得有點不對勁,不要被以下照片所誤導,其實可謂的「帶子」原來是小小的扇貝,一啖子便可輕易吞下。

味道就不值一提,帶子用了牛油、香草等一起燒,沒有特別的驚喜。

鵝肝醬配多士 (Grade: 4/5)
鵝肝醬自家製做得非常滑溜,入口細嚼後還有濃厚的鵝肝香味,又不帶油滯,絕對是上乘佳品。

焦糖燒鵪鶉 (Grade: 4.5/5)
廚師選用了六、七塊鵪鶉脾肉,切除筋後輕輕釀入些少份量的鮮鵝肝,再用焦糖慢火燒,火候真掌握得恰到好處,味道無懈可擊。

特別要一讚這個wasabi醬汁,調較得很有技巧,完全沒有奪去鵪鶉的鮮味,薄薄的一層醬汁滲透了鵪鶉肉內,就連底層的菠菜也變成美味的極品。

牛仔肉配馬鈴薯蓉 (Grade: 2.5/5)
又一道令人失望的菜,但失望不單衹是味道,且看以下圖片。先不要誤會,相片是侍應生放下食物後馬上拍的,還未開始品嚐,對了,是一塊size大約跟對摺了的一百元紙幣差不多的牛仔肉!


63%黑朱古力撻 (Grade: 3.5/5)
急不及待完成餘下的甜品,可望有充足的時間到附近茶餐廳吃過快餐充飢,
選來較為特別的63%黑朱古力撻。

黑朱古力撻沒有想像中的苦,相反朱古力味豐富而富層次感,食時再將類似咖啡味的shooter與朱古力撻混成一團吃,效果頗為新鮮。

總括而言
服務一如以往,十分體貼,不過這點是在星級餐廳意想得到的,唯一意想不到的是出奇地細小的份量。

現時物價高漲,百物騰貴,將食物價錢適當調整是應該的,但食神覺得絕對要徹忌將貨就價,因為如果食客失掉信心,那就必定永不回頭!

中午走進Cepage,服務員二話不說只把Lunch Set Menu遞上,表明來意不是想吃午市套餐,一個操星加坡英語的經理走過來開始叨叨嘮嘮(不明白他為甚麼明明知道我說廣東話還堅持要說英語),我說不想吃肉類,他像啞了一樣,結果還是我自己選擇,他一點未有任何幫上忙。頭盤是個冷盤,魚子醬天使麵,一客HK$3XX,沒想到份量真的那麼小,魚子醬只有約少於25mm的直徑,薄薄鋪在同樣少得可憐的天使麵上,幾乎三口可吃光。這道冷盤處理得過份簡單,吃得出意大利麵泡至半熟,過了冰水只加了橄欖油,鋪上魚子醬,就上桌,你我在家裡都做到,實在未達米芝蓮星級大師應有的期望吧?!主菜地中海式乳鴿,包括豬網油煎乳鴿胸、培根鴿腿和黑醋鵝肝,首先,不明白為何鴿胸要包著豬網油去煎,鴿的皮下已有一層脂肪,再加網油是多此一舉,鴿胸煎成半生熟是很嫩滑的,但自從有了禽流感,是否可改用慢煮或其他烹調法,也可達到同樣效果但吃得放心呢?煙肉包鴿腿也一樣用豬油香去處理鴿肉,這位大廚實在是蔡瀾粉絲,十分喜歡豬油!鴿腿小得驚人,配了一件土豆加什麼揉合成的炸餅,味道很一般。加上一件又是很小塊的鵝肝,還好不是鴿的肝,這頓午餐極有減肥餐單的概念啊

It was a birthday, and we wanted a special dining experience. Cepage certainly provided it.

The menu must change to accomodate seasonal factors -- none of the stuff listed in prior reviews was on the menu on the night we were there!

The decor and service were of the highest calibre......staff were friendly and helpful. (The one little minus was the investment bankers and mandarin-speaking tourists (maybe they were mandarin-speaking investment bankers, who knows?) talking on cell phones, but I suppose one can't blame the restaurant for that.

Specifics:

The wine list is huge, and most of it is wayyyyy overpriced. The staff is helpful with recommendations, if you want. But of course one loses face immensely if one says in a restaurant like that one "don't you have anything under $700?" We navigated the list on our own and chose a very nice Cote de Nuits Burgundy for "only" $880. (And believe me, this was one of the cheaper ones on the list!)

There were three fixed-price menus available....my companion chose the middle-price one (five courses for HK$1,050) and he loved his scallop with caviar on top, his lobster ravioli, and his duck breast with foie gras.

I chose the eggplant "caviar" and the venison with peppercorn sauce. The eggplant dish was more like a mousse than caviar.....eggplant with a layer of lime-flavoured sauce on top. Very nice taste, but the effect of a decent-size bowl of it was too heavy. The venison was SUPERB! An unusual (in HK) dish that was perfectly prepared.

I ended with a cheese course....their cheese selection was pretty good, though there were not enough really smelly ones for my taste. They served the cheese with a fantastic home-made cranberry bread that made the course a huge winner. The staff cheerfully offered me a refill on the cheese, but I was too full to accept.

There were also a couple of little accompaniment dishes that were offered free as part of the meal......the "amuse bouche" in the beginning was a wonderfully tasty gelee of tomato, topped with a coriander-flavoured bit of cream cheese. Sublime! And the Petit Fours at the end were delicious too.

Portions are not large. This is good, because their menus include so many courses.....

All in all, I would recommend this for somebody who has lots of money, or who wants a special splurge. (Countervailing comment from my companion, who says I am being too harsh on the price, and that there are many other places in HK which charge similar prices without offering such a great meal.)

在香港的摘法星之旅, 來到這一站, 暫時告一段落. 怎知道有點期望的一餐, 理想跟現實是不大相同. 先講店子的地段, 跟其他法星不太一樣, 不是在酒店或者商場, 而是在永豐街上, 在環境一項, 似乎就被其他法星店子比下去.星期六的下午來到, 相當清靜, 大部份的位也是吉的, 生意難做. 這裡的午餐, 是幾間法星店中最相宜的, 2道菜$320, 3道菜$390, 當然要3道菜, 能夠試多一點嘛.先來的麵包, 是幾熱的, 但相當之硬, 不太合心水.Amuse bouche: 9分, 是炸牛肉配溏心蛋. 牛肉的肉質幾嫩滑, 外皮炸得香脆, 溏心蛋是相當溏心, 撈上牛肉同吃也不俗.Octopus carpaccio, tomato vinaigrette, basil: 8分, 前菜是八爪魚薄片, 切得薄薄的, 幾爽口, 配上番茄醋及紫蘇葉, 酸酸甜甜的, 相當開胃.Oxtail consommé, foie gras quenelle, celery: 8分, 另一個前菜揀了湯, 就是牛尾清湯, 湯的牛尾味濃郁, 鵝肝肉湯圓幾香, 其實都幾怕肥膩的鵝肝, 這裡的做法, 把鵝肝放進湯內, 再配

星期六的下午來到, 相當清靜, 大部份的位也是吉的, 生意難做. 這裡的午餐, 是幾間法星店中最相宜的, 2道菜$320, 3道菜$390, 當然要3道菜, 能夠試多一點嘛.

先來的麵包, 是幾熱的, 但相當之硬, 不太合心水.

Amuse bouche: 9分, 是炸牛肉配溏心蛋. 牛肉的肉質幾嫩滑, 外皮炸得香脆, 溏心蛋是相當溏心, 撈上牛肉同吃也不俗.

Octopus carpaccio, tomato vinaigrette, basil: 8分, 前菜是八爪魚薄片, 切得薄薄的, 幾爽口, 配上番茄醋及紫蘇葉, 酸酸甜甜的, 相當開胃.

Oxtail consommé, foie gras quenelle, celery: 8分, 另一個前菜揀了湯, 就是牛尾清湯, 湯的牛尾味濃郁, 鵝肝肉湯圓幾香, 其實都幾怕肥膩的鵝肝, 這裡的做法, 把鵝肝放進湯內, 再配上芹菜, 是減輕了那份油膩感. 本來牛尾加鵝肝是個幾濃烈的配搭, 但現在出來的效果反而幾好.

Homemade tagliatelle, milk fed lamb ragout, petit pois, mint: 5分, 主菜方面, 要了tagliatelle, 麵條不大吸收到醬汁, 比較乾, 口感麻麻, 乳飼羊做的ragout羊味不太重, 愛吃羊的一定會嫌味道不夠騷. 這道菜最大問題是沒有法菜的精緻感, 無論味道或者賣相都是比較粗糙.

Classic Bouillabaisse, line caught Gurnard, rouille crouton: 7分, 另一道主菜是馬賽海鮮湯, 以一人份量的午餐主菜來講, 是幾大堆頭. 用上了魴魚, 肉質還算可以, 不會實實的, 始終是湯料, 也不能太高要求. 重點當然是啖湯, 不算太濃郁, 但總算幾鮮甜, 喝得出是下了不少海鮮的, 雖只是午餐, 也不會令人太單薄的感覺. 不過這裡的Bouillabaisse似乎是魴魚做了主角, 湯的份量太小了, 覺得是在吃魚而不是在喝馬賽海鮮湯. 另外, 當然跟上一碟rouille多士, 感覺就一般, rouille好像只有Bouillabaisse的味道, 蒜蓉同埋辣椒味道不太足夠.

Champagne - elderflower soup and sorbet, mixed berries: 7分, 甜品要了這裡的招牌作Champagne, 香檳味是淡淡然的滲出來, 配上雜莓, 是幾清新的. 這個甜品, 是不俗的, 但感覺上就未到招牌的級數.

Lavender crème brulee, Charentais melon, yogurt sorbet: 5分, 另一個甜品要了薰衣草燉蛋加乳酪雪葩. 薰衣草燉蛋個皮不夠脆, 燉蛋幾滑, 但就基本上吃不到薰衣草味. 乳酪雪葩的味道相當奇怪, 乳酪味極濃烈, 就算是雪葩也掩蓋不了那份乳酪味, 跟上底下的Charentais蜜瓜同吃, 也吃不出蜜瓜的鮮甜味, 只能夠吃到那個勁酸的乳酪味. 而這甜品中的薰衣草燉蛋同乳酪雪葩是完全的夾不來, 分開吃好了.

最後的Petit Fours, 啫喱糖酸到不得了, 真懷疑這是否給人開胃? Cannele硬硬的, 咬都唔係幾咬得開, 吃一半, 放棄了. 這裡的Petit Fours, 可以飛掉.

這裡吃沒有朱古力作結, 以一餐法菜來講, 不夠完美.

值得一提的是這裡的咖啡或茶比較特別, 茶的選擇包括花茶及中式茶, 坦白講, 真是有點錯配.

整體食物水準是有得有失, 頭盤是幾好, 一個主菜及一個甜品就不太對辦. 服務方面, 是不太熱誠, 冷冰冰的應對, 背書式的介紹菜色, 應該是我們在香港法星店中遇到的最差服務.

以香港的標準來講, 這一星還算勉強, 在香港六家法星店當中, 這裡會是小弟心目中最失色的那家.

甜點奶酪榛子蛋糕配紅莓雪酪,力挽狂瀾。

藍奶酪: 入口後咸香四溢,"籃靜脈"帶來粗鹽般口感。我跟不嚐奶酪的阿蘇形容其氣味就像雨水淹腳後走半天路再脫襪般的酸臭,阿毛附和,光頭侍者忍不住爆笑,旁邊西婦側目。讚。

Verdict: 如題。中段睡了卻不可惜。

"We do not remember days; we remember moments. Your special moments, are ours too" - Cepage

If you are looking for a special 5 star "tailor-made" experience, Cepage is the way to go!

Last weekend was me and my boyfriend's one year anniversary and I have arranged a special anniversary lunch to suprise my boyfriend. Our experience here was a terrifc one! It was very memorable & unforgettable, thank you Cepage!

08.22.10/13:30


Corner table was where we sat as arranged. It was Ernest who served us and the Restaurant Manager, Bernard was very welcoming. Bernard was too kind and generous, he offered us a glass of champagne, matching with ham & honey drew and foie gras as a starter to enhance our special lunch.


Our tailor made menu was signed and greeted by the Chef
. My boyfriend was quite stunned actually, he looked very unexpected and impressed by the arrangement and Cepage's exceptional services! (of course with my effort to plan this out as well haha
)

The appetizer on the set lunch was impressive! We both thought the Scallop was fantastic, I especially like the sauce. And the Tuna Carppacio was awesome! The taste of the tuna was not very strong but very fresh and tender.


Main course we had the Black Cod which tasted outstanding, just thought the sauce was a bit too condensed. Where as the Fillet Steak was nicely garnished, my boyfriend thought it was slightly over cooked but the texture of the meat was very tendered and juicy.

After we have finished the main course, Ernest presented us with a nicely decorated Chocolate Cake with our Anniversary date and hearts around


Ermest offered to take a "instant" picture of us and placed it into a Cepage picture holder. Those words written on the holder was very nice and meaningful. We were very impressed and delighted!


The chocolate cake was cut into half .. tasted SUPER YUMM!! One of the BEST chocolate cake I have ever tasted!
My boyfriend rarely finishes a piece of cake but he did!


Then the dessert came from the lunch menu. I have picked the pineapple carpaccio + Chinese Lychee Tea and my boyfriend picked the creme brulee + ice-ed milk tea to end our day at Cepage.

Special big thanks to the restaurant manager - Mr. Bernard Mak. I really appreciate and respect his professionalism and thoughtfulness - words just can't express enough! Also, I would like to thank our server Ernest, very pleasant with high quality of servicing level. He knows very well of how to put an extra smile on your face.
And Natalie, the hostress who has helped me coordinated this whole plan - thanks for being patient with my 'fussiness'.

Thank you Cepage once again for making things to HAPPEN! I will definitely come back again

We were then served with 2 welcoming appetizers -
Croquette with mozarella cheese and
Norwegian Salmon with Asparagus Mousse
. The croquette tasted with strong mozarella cheese while the mousse was surprisingly good! A very nice approach to have mousse as an appetizer rather than a dessert.

The first appetizer was
Tartare of Live Normandy Scallop, green apple gelee, creme fraiche, Oscietre caviar. I LOVED the green apple gelee~! blended really well with the tartare, to give the fresh scallop a tinge of stimulating freshness.

The next dish was
Pan seared seabass, mussel-saffron stew, fennel mousseline, dattarino tomato confit. Crispy skin and tender meat for the seabass. A very light and delicate approach to cook seabass.

Main course arrived. We were served with
Gratinated Alaskan Crab, chili 'nduja di Spilinga, fragrant pilaf rice. Awesome! Haven't had rice as the main course in french cuisine and the Alaskan Crab and chili were a great combination in adding stimulating flavors to the dish.

Then we had
'Taiyouran' organic egg confit, Perigord truffle, Joselito ham 'Gran Reserva', crouton. The poached egg had to be stirred well with the ham before you ate. It was very nice to have the egg yolk matching with the ham rather than having fruits or cheese.

and ooo! this was GOOD -
Grilled Iberican pork chop and apples, Kurobuta pork belly en sousvide, "La Ratte' potato, sauteed seasonal mushrooms and baby spinach. The pork chop was well cooked but not coarse, though it could come without the pork belly, which made the dish quite a heavy one.

It was really good to have
marinated mango, pineapple sherbet to freshen up the tastebuds before we had the dessert.

Poached pear, dark chocolate mousse, cinnamon icecream and crispy filo pastry was our dessert! The pear was cut into 3 pieces with the pastry inserted in between, chocolate mousse was inside the pear. A good match with the pear to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate.

As usual, they offered petit fours. There were 3 kinds. Passionfruit macarons were the best, the raspberry candy was nice while the brownish one tasted a bit weird. But apart from the petit fours, the waitress came with a tray of assorted chocolates. I had dark chocolate, hazelnut chocolate while my boyfriend had green-tea chocolate. A tiny lemon cake concluded our night at Cepage.

A tranquil night since we had our dinner in their private dining room. Would love to see the main dining area the next time and I'm very tempted to go to Les Amis

Three of us tried Cepage tonight for the first time after her opening more than a year ago. Why? Perhaps it's because of her location; and average reviews from friends.I was very impressed by the service and the ambience, and especially stunned by the outstanding selection of fine wines. I must say the wine list is the BEST among all top end restaurants in Hong Kong.As for the food, there are plenty to choose from both the a-la-carte and tasting menu.

As for the food, there are plenty to choose from both the a-la-carte and tasting menu. The appetizer I chose was Pigeon Salad . . . not impressive at all. My second course, which was Angel Hair with Alaska King Crab was too rich and tasted like Chinese oyster sauce. I choose Kobe Beef, rare, for my main course ($850!!!!) . . . just mediocre and over-priced. Me and my friends agreed that side-dishes were much over emphasised. Cheese selection was again mediocre. My decaff. espresso was just warm. Petit 4 were also not impressive. The spending per head below excludes drinks and wine.

Never been more disappointed. Meal was ~$3500 for two.
2 soups, 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and a bottle of red.

Only consolation was that the assistant sommelier was cool and absolutely knew his wines well.

2 soups.
First was supposedly chicken consomme (ravioli) -> tasted like wontons in beef broth.
Second was mushroom cappuccino -> tasted like Campbell's mushroom soup.

Foie Gras.
Foie Gras at a fine dining premium price. Okay, will let this slide. As they say, 'Willing to eat the salty fish...willing to endure the thirst'. But still a sick price for average seared foie.

2 entrees. Crazy Expensive.
This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Grilled fish -> tasted like grilled fish. Asked for more lemon to blockout the dryness of it.
Veal cheek in blah blah blah sauce -> tasted like the local beef stew.

Wine.
This was the only good part so will let it slide. But again, it was at a sick premium.

Go for the wine to impress business clients. But don't take your friends or significant others for the food.

As a foodie, I've ultimately never needed to write a review before, so you could only imagine how far off that this place did not meet expectations.

Overall: Foodwise, this place is the epitome of the Emperor's New Clothes.

Heard about this restaurant and wanted to give it a try today while it's been a dull rainy day. Needed something to spice up my day.

Upon arrival, noted the reception was decorated as hotel reception or check-in counter. This is really cool. The restaurant actually has 3 stories. The ground floor has a bars area for those that arrived ealrier and wanted some drinks before their meal or any party hosted upstairs.

We were served at the 2nd floor. It had about 8 tables and 1 room. High ceiling and very nice decor. It's extremely quiet and it's filled with 6 tables while we visited.

Being the first time visitor, we ordered the tasting menu and the 4-course set dinner (HKD888 excluding service charge). We also ordered the lobster dish.

Before any starter, it came with some canape, the fresh salmon stuffed in a crispy cone.
1) The first course was green apple, lobster and caviar. It came with a very fresh green apple jelly and lobster with great testure.
2) The second course was fish and truffle - the taste and testure of the fish was not impressive as we wanted.
3) The third course was pigeon - the texture was perfect - very tender and juicy.
4) the fourth course was dessert - chocolate cake with few pieces of orange and icecream.

For the lobster we ordered, it came with foie gras. The testure was perfect. The foie gras was a bit cold.

To finish the meal, we were served with lemon cakes, chocolates and coffee. A very fulfilling dinner. The services was great - the waiters were very attentive and informative in introducing their dishes.

終於試了位於星街小區內的Cépage,這可是評價十分之高的頂尖法國餐廳。在這裡吃晚餐動輒過仟,所以我還是選了午市為第一次嘗試。前菜是 'Taiyouran' organic egg confit, truffled oxtail gelee, lomo Iberico, croutons。半熟蛋煮得恰到好處,伴著風乾火腿絲、黑松露菌絲、雞湯啫喱等令整道菜變得矜貴。把材料拌起來同吃,好味到不得了。主菜點了Pyrenean milk-fed lamb rack, eggplant, cherry tomato, pearl onions, green beans。整道菜的賣相很好。羊架的肉質非常鮮嫩,有羊的香味但又不會羶。伴碟的小洋葱、茄子等都細心煮過,入口感覺清新。甜品試了Champagne & elderflower soup with fresh berries。酸酸的雜莓很新鮮,跟清香的champagne在味道上配搭得很好。是一個不錯的甜品。享受一頓高級法國餐只是數佰元,實在物超所值。

噚晚同朋友同埋佢BOYFRIEND嚟試吓, 我未試過, 但係個朋友之前以經嚟食過,仲話幾正!! 廢話唔講啦. 老實講,環境真係麻麻, 不過樓低都算高,但枱與枱既距離好近,我個人覺得唔係好掂.坐低之後, WAITRESS 推介48months Joselito Jamon, OK, 我自己同朋友都好, 點一份 (25grams $200) SHARE. 跟手WAITRESS 攞多份 DRIED LAMB SAUSAGE and Home Made 薯片, 送的.基本上自己同朋友都唔係好有胃口,所以無人點TASTING MENU. 我個朋友直頭乜都唔食,淨係要杯COCKTAIL. 咁我同佢BOYFRIEND就點左 CHAMPAGNE LIME RISOTTO and OVER ROASTED CROISE DUCK IN TWO WAYS,兩樣嘢都係比人SHARE,SERVE MINIMUM TWO PERSON. 點好之後, WAITRESS 送上STANDARD餐前小食, 好似超MINI ICE CREAM CONE, WITH SALMON ON TOP. 幾得意,不過掛住傾, 無乜

噚晚同朋友同埋佢BOYFRIEND嚟試吓, 我未試過, 但係個朋友之前以經嚟食過,仲話幾正!! 廢話唔講啦.

老實講,環境真係麻麻, 不過樓低都算高,但枱與枱既距離好近,我個人覺得唔係好掂.

坐低之後, WAITRESS 推介48months Joselito Jamon, OK, 我自己同朋友都好, 點一份 (25grams $200) SHARE. 跟手WAITRESS 攞多份 DRIED LAMB SAUSAGE and Home Made 薯片, 送的.

基本上自己同朋友都唔係好有胃口,所以無人點TASTING MENU. 我個朋友直頭乜都唔食,淨係要杯COCKTAIL. 咁我同佢BOYFRIEND就點左 CHAMPAGNE LIME RISOTTO and OVER ROASTED CROISE DUCK IN TWO WAYS,兩樣嘢都係比人SHARE,SERVE MINIMUM TWO PERSON.

點好之後, WAITRESS 送上STANDARD餐前小食, 好似超MINI ICE CREAM CONE, WITH SALMON ON TOP. 幾得意,不過掛住傾, 無乜特別留意個味.

跟住WAITRESS送上是日 AMUSE BOUCHE, 炸鵪鶉蛋,低下有啲MASHED 綠色物體, 我自己冇食,因為怕怕膽固醇, 所以朋友個BOYFRIEND幫手食埋. 佢地都話好好味

好!主菜上場!! 先上個RISOTTO, 真係幾新穎, 一啲都唔HEAVY,LEMON味BALANCE 得好好, 整體味道幾COMPLEX, 同一般ITALIAN STYLE 既RISOTTO 好唔同, 感覺好清新, 配料有數大片HOKKAIDO SCALLOP and CRAB ROE SPRINKLE ON TOP. 仲有一啲UNKNOWN既植物 (LEMON BALM) 撈埋喺啲飯入面, 唯一美中不足既係CHEF落喺啲SCALLOP 上面既鹽略為多左小小, 不過如果撈勻啲飯都OK. 整體嚟講都係幾新鮮同特別.

跟主上OVER ROASTED CROISE DUCK IN TWO WAYS, WAITRESS先成隻鴨攞上嚟比我哋睇, 跟住先番入去再做下一步.

FIRST WAY: 碟中間係鴨胸,左邊SERVE 一啲BRAISED RED CABBAGE, 酸酸甜甜, 上面舖左兩塊烤蘋果,右面係CELERIAC MASH, 可以選擇要唔要DUCK GRAVY on TOP. BRAISED RED CABBAGE AND GRILLED APPLE 同 鴨胸配得好好, 酸甜味BALANCE番鴨胸既油膩, CELERIAC MASH 甘甘地,texture好滑, 同ROBUCHON個薯蓉有得FIGHT. 鴨烤得很恰當 好香,皮夠脆,肉唔乾,有肉汁.

SECOND WAY: 鴨腿, 舖低係炒雜菇 and 日本粟米, and 有一兜仔GREEN SALAD, 兜GREEN SALAD朋友處理左.如果大家唔怕肥,我覺得單論舊肉,鴨腿比鴨胸正,不過整體配搭,FIRST WAY比較複雜D, SECOND WAY既味道比較單一,不過DMUSHROOM, 特別舊CORN,都幾正.

食完之後,好飽,好滿意.

CHOCOLATE AND PETIT FOUR, 我唔係專家,亦唔好,所以不適合評論.

值得一讚既係,HOUSE WINE BY GLASS挑選得好好, CEPAGE WINE LIST 出名就唔在講,估唔到HOUSE WINE BY GLASS 一樣咁出色!!

當日精選白酒 - DOMAINE LEFLAIVE MACON VERZE 2005, 紅酒 - PIRIE "SIGMA" PINOT NOIR TASMANIA 2005

非常滿意的一餐, 服務水平亦算恰當有禮. 價錢就............真係不菲, 肉都赤埋......不過下次有機會,有彈藥,一定會再嚟!!

Cépage 跟被英國飲食權威雜誌 "餐廳" 選為2009年全球第60名的餐廳 - 新加坡的 Les Amis 來自同一集團, 來頭當然不少。餐廳裝飾跟新加坡店差不多但比較細小, Dining room 只得五、六張枱。 午膳餐單並不豐富, 頭盤、 主菜只有數個選擇。食神選擇了一頓全海鮮餐, 頭盤先來一個三文魚刺身伴白蘆筍。 三文魚很新鮮但白蘆筍較酸, 這個組合不甚匹配。 主菜是來自北海道的燒帶子, 大大的帶子配以蕃茄忌廉汁, 非常滋味。 啫哩人則點了意大利雲吞湯和燒羊扒, 意大利雲吞加入鵝肝為餡, 令普通的雲吞顯得特別吸引, 燒羊扒就較為普通。值得讚的有兩點, 一是餐廳的氣氛, 餐廳雖小但環境雅緻舒適。 第二是餐廳無論在餐具和食物的擺設花的心思, 餐廳用的餐具、 碟、 乘牛油的器盎等都非常講究, 食物出色的 presentation 也為食客添了一份驚喜。

Today is our 11th wedding annivery. Have heard a lot of raving reviews on this restaurant so decided to give it a try. Interior decor was decent, as with one would expect. We were greeted warmly by the Maitre' D and we were seated at the main dining area. (Originally we were assigned to one of the 3 small tables next to the elevator but they moved us into the main hall since there was a cancellation. )

I ordered the 4 course tasting menu (salmon confit/alaskan crab with rice pilaf/ Kagoshima steak/cherry dessert) while my husband ordered Alaskan crab wtih angel hair/ roast pigeon. The steak and the alaskan crab with angel hair were both superb while the pigeon is very allright (we were quite full after the free hors d'œuvre (risotto with truflles and tuna tartar) and the nice bread !! Since I mentioned it was our wedding anniversary when I made my booking, the restaurant was thoughtful enough to give us a free chocolate cake with wordings on it and presented to us with a lit candle. It was extremely nice and considerate of them. The cake was awesome too.

Overall the experience is very pleasant. Service was excellent, food was very good. OK this restaurant is not cheap but wiht that kind of service, we will definitley go back again. I would strongly recommend the 4 course tasting menu (HKD 880) since it is pretty much food for value. 7 course tasting menu is at HKD 1380 - but think that would suit men more than ladies. We were soo full that we couldnt finish the petit fours...and they even packed that for us to take home together with the freshly baked madeline!
