The decor is beautiful, fine dining style with a casual edge. The food, however, was quite underwhelming. I got bored after a few courses because everything just tasted like cream/ mayonnaise with onion/thyme. I get it - Swedish theme - but it doesn’t have to be so literal/ flat... Service was fine. Nothing bad, but can’t say it’s amazing either. Sorry, but won’t be back and won’t be recommending. Hope you improve!

週五的晚上和兩個好友在吧檯用餐,選擇了tasting menu。餐廳的面積在香港不算小,但是相比於它offer的食物精緻程度十分小巧了。落地窗外面就是來來往往的行人,增添了一些casual的感覺。雖然餐廳casual,但是實物質量還是沒有怠慢。坐在吧檯旁邊可以好好欣賞廚師的手藝。擺盤、餐具以及食材都很有北歐的感覺,讓人回憶起在北歐度過的長夏。當然,北歐菜的口味是偏咸的,這個各有喜好了。Tasing menu 1500左右,價格尚可。口味:4星環境:3星性價比:3星適合與比較重口的小清新朋友體驗北歐的夏天。

Yes this was great food... beyond my expectations.... but the staff I have to say were rather perfunctory perhaps even dour and not matching the food! this does impact the occasion! Some higher training is needed.... Felt rather rushed on several occasions so they can meet their second sitting deadline... it did not seem full... smiles seemed to be on ration..

I waited quite a while to come here. The first time I booked they messed up my reservation and I came all the way out there for no reason. Second time I booked online and double checked over the phone.

Let’s begin. They serve the meal in three different parts here. First is small bites which are literally just one bite of food. Second are small plates which are barely shareable. And third are the entrees which if you don’t want to read to the end I will tell you to skip bc they are absolutely boring and subpar for the price.

I went ahead and ordered one of every small bites dish.

So this was some kind of cauliflower, herring, something “soup” with caviar in the middle? I don’t even know what. It was not remarkable, I would skip this from small plates and get more of the French toast.

Next I tried a couple of small plates:

This is their veal tartar. Look... I love tartar in all forms but they should have stuck with beef. I think the veal tasted extremely underwhelming, the taste of the meat was far too light.

I think I tried one other dish which was the lobster but I didn’t take a photo. It just tasted like lobster. The small plates all in all were good but absolutely nothing stood out about them.

This was was really good but you can barely see it and again, nothing stood out. It was barely two bites for an entree.

Ultimately, Frantzen’s kitchen was a huge disappointment. I think their small bites are rare and nice but the small plates were very ordinary and I would skip every main entree here as it was quite shit. It’s not worth all the hype and price. I’ve had many lavish meals in HK and let me tell you, you can find better. Maybe try their other restaurant, flying elk. I enjoyed that place much more.

It's my wife's birthday and i booked a table online quite easily about 1 week ahead. It was around 12 pm and the restaurant was quiet and not too crowded. But all tables are filled by 1:15pm when it feels a little cramped and quite noisy. But of course, it never claims to be an exclusive "fine dining" restaurant, so that the noise and the crowd should be expected.

The meal starts with a complement amuse-bouche which is available for Saturday lunches only -- soft-poached egg yolk with tangy cream cheese topped with caviar and edible glitters. The egg yolk is cooked perfectly -- not runny and not stiff. It's like onsen tamago. The cream cheese works with the yolk in terms of texture, while the caviar bursts with briny fish flavour.  This course really raises the expectation for the rest of the meal.

For "snacks" (which are bite-size courses in Frantzen's Kitchen), we ordered oyster 63.4°C and Swedish sushi.

Oyster 63.4°C is poached to perfect doneness, dressed in a smoked cream sauce and sea buckthorn oil, garnished with fingerlime and edible flowers. It looks amazing and tastes divine. The cream sauce isn't too thick, so that it's creamy without feeling greasy. And to be honest, I never tasted fingerlime and sea buckthorn elsewhere. The former is citrusy and tart to cut through the richness of the cream sauce. The latter is an orange oil tasting like sour berries.  All in all, a well-executed course with layers of flavours and contrasting textures.

The signature Swedish sushi is lichens, raw roe deer meat, cep mayo, shavings of frozen bird liver and hay ash stacked on top of each other. The texture is amusing -- it's hard to compare it with any other food actually. The lichens are like dragon beard candy somehow -- dry, crisp, without strong flavour. Then the very thin slice of roe deer meat is like any venison. It's not gamey at all, but with a meaty taste. The cep mayo can do with stronger mushroom flavour in my opinion. It moistens the lichens when eaten together. Finally, I can't taste the liver shaving at all. The one-bite course has interesting texture, but I won't mind if the liver or the cep tastes stronger.

For "to begin" courses (meaning slightly bigger appetizers), we ordered Hokkaido scallops, Cold-poached blue lobster and veal tartare.

The scallops are perfectly seared with an undercooked centre (just the way I prefer). The hazelnut butter and the burnt bread pudding surprisingly taste like some kind of meat or mushroom stock, which is interesting. The caramelized cauliflower foam and puree also add to the texture and flavours of the dish. Another highlight of the meal.

The blue lobster isn't bad, but it's a bit expected in taste and texture, so that it's not as surprising as other courses. The lobster is poached to perfect doneness, dressed in an aromatic oil with herbs and mint, and tossed with marinated tomato and peach. It's fruity and tangy with a refreshing palate that complements the delicate lobster.

The veal tartare looks like it's chopped-up beef with greens and caviar. But there's one surprise element -- the deep-fried crispy shreds of beef brisket. They add a lovely crunch and intense meaty flavour to the dish. The miso and hazelnut mayo is actually less intense than it sounds as the miso flavour is quite subdue.

For "continued" course (meaning a small-sized main), we ordered the cod and the hay-poached chicken.

The cod is perfectly cooked, juicy and tender. It is drenched in a creamy butter sauce with bits of morel mushrooms, spinach and pea sprouts. Again, it's not bad, but definitely not very memorable when compared with other courses. To put it plainly, it's just an ordinary fish dish in a cream sauce. The morels don't add any taste. The young pea sprouts are a bit grassy in taste. And the presentation could be better IMO... This is the let-down of the whole meal.

On the other hand, the hay-poached chicken is a nice surprise. The chicken is silky and juicy. The scrambled egg is nothing like scrambled egg at all -- rich, creamy and tasty like a well-made mashed potato. The seasoning with white soy and wild mushroom is spot on, punchy, but not overpowering. And the crispy wafer of toasted chicken skin is the icing on the cake. All in all, a well-thought out dish with complex flavours and textures that complement each other.

When I booked online, I mentioned it was my wife's birthday and the restaurant is kind enough to give us each a slice of complementary cake. It's chocolate mousse with mandarin panna cotta. Honestly, the desserts on the menu should taste better. But as it's on the house, I can't complain too much...

Next time around, I'd try the set lunch instead as it offers great value (about $200 off the same items ordered a la carte). All in all, a great experience. The food is awesome, the sommelier was knowledgeable, only the seats are not very comfortable...

The restaurant was having a nice contemporary design with cozy ambiance. There is a bar counter which the customers could interact intimately with the staff while eating. At the same time there were a number of tables providing a more traditional dining experience, and we were seated in one of them. Even though the table was not large and the seats not exactly very comfortable, the overall environment was rather nice and relaxing.

We ordered the tasting menu ($1100), with me also going for the Avant-Garde wine pairing ($1100). The tasting menu had incorporated the different signature dishes and would be a good choice. The first course is Bone Marrow, with caviar, a layer of chestnut mousse and thyme sauce. The mousse is rich and tasty, with strong chestnut flavors which complements well with the thyme extracts. The pieces of bone marrow was underneath and provided a nice bite and contrast to the mousse.

The second course was French Toast, which has winter truffle on top, with the middle layer being the onion shreds and wrapped in a crunchy outer toast, with some Balsamic vinegar on the side to enhance the flavors. There is also an aged cheese and truffle tea paired, best to drink in between bites, which really highlights the ingredients and taste to another level. Really wonderful appetizers. The wine paired for the two was Andre Clouet Grand Cru Rose No. 3 NV.

Next came the starters, with the first being Seven Gardens. It was the fresh organic vegetable salad coming from seven local farms and prepared in eight different cooking techniques, then added with puffed buckwheat, crispy fish scales and Sancho butter. I really like this as each individual vegetable can showcase the original and rich flavors of the ingredient, and the different style of cooking was truly amazing, offering contrast in texture and enjoyment. The wine paired was also interesting, the 2016 Sato 'L'atypique' 22 days on skins' Pinot Gris from Avalon Vineyards in Central Otago.

Then came the Cold-Poached Blue-Lobster, with tomato and peach 'ceviche', black pepper, mint and herbs. The lobster was fresh and beautifully seasoned, demonstrating a nice original delicate taste which was so nicely paired with the tomato and peach, with its sour and sweet note balancing and complementing greatly to the flavors. The herbs and the water infused further elevated the dish to a greater level. The wine paired was the 2016 Daily Riesling Selection from A. J. Adam from Mosel.

The last starter was Veloute, a kind of savory sauce / soup made with white onion, liquorice and smoked Marcona almonds. It was rich and concentrated, with the almond note permeating throughout, supplemented with the onion flavors. The liquorice element was rather light however, and if not showing on the menu it was not readily discernible. Nevertheless it was another great one and serving as a nice transition before we start our main courses.

The first main course was Oven Baked Turbot, with blue mussel veloute, seaweed and lemon butter, dill. This is another of my favorite in the evening, with the fish very tender and having a great taste, and it was really flavorful with the seaweed and lemon butter perfectly complementing. The blue mussels were also spectacular. Honestly I haven't had such pleasure in tasting the true and original flavors for a long while. The wine paired was Chateau Musar white from Lebanon.

Then it was the Sorbet to cleanse the palate. With yuzu, fennel and Sancho pepper, it was not the typical sorbet but again emphasizing the different ingredients and flavors. Functionally it helped to clean our mouth so we would be ready for the meat but on its own it could be offered as a great dessert too in my opinion.

The second main course was Venison, with fermented parsnip puree, blue berries, thyme and orange peel. The venison was cooked beautifully, tender and juicy. The puree was creamy and a great addition to the meat, with the blue berries and orange peel nicely providing sweetness and some bitterness to enhance the flavors as well. The wine paired was 2016 Ridge 'Geyserville' Field Blend from California.

The last course was Toasted Pine Nut Ice Cream, with whipped malted rice tea, puffed rice and chestnut honey. Paired well with 2016 Peller Estates Vidal Blanc Icewine from Canada, the dessert was appropriate in sweetness, and the interesting puffed rice giving a crunchy element to the palate. The pine nut taste was rich in the ice cream, and it was a great harmony of the different elements and a good completion to a wonderful meal.

In terms of flavors, this meal was one of the best for a long while, and I was so impressed with how the chef took good quality ingredients and with the great cooking skills and techniques emphasizing each individual components to such extent. The wine pairing was also fantastic, with the choice of wines wonderfully complementary and matched with the food, good in taste and also highly interesting. The service also was great with each dish meticulously explained to us.

Overall I would say this restaurant well deserved a Michelin status. The bill on the night was $3817 which was reasonable considering the overall enjoyment and how everything was so nicely put together. I really recommend this restaurant to all the foodie in town.

Namesake restaurant of former Swedish footballer and now 3-starred Michelin chef 👨‍🍳 Björn Frantzén, Frantzén’s Kitchen introduces Nordic cuisine to Hong Kong palates. This restaurant is often fully booked so do make reservations well in advance!

We started off with this light bite-sized apple & lingonberry macaron, packed richly with flavour and set the tone for an overall amazing dinner.

Then we progressed onwards to the amazing cheesy truffle French toast. THIS WAS MOUTH-WATERINGLY DELICIOUS!! I highly recommend ordering this, get one per person! I really wanted to go for seconds but then remember the price for just one toast ($115!!)

Our final starter was the lamb tartare which was creamy, rich and beautifully plated. Each bite tasted like heaven!

For our mains we went for the wagyu hot pot which had an insanely addictive broth. Good portion size for the price!

The North Atlantic Cod was the final dish from our meal at Frantzén's Kitchen, was slightly disappointed by the meagre portion size, but the taste was its saving grace.

All in all, Frantzén’s Kitchen is a great place for a meal to celebrate a special occasion. While the prices on the menu may not look too steep, portion sizes tend to fall on the smaller side so your bill can rack up pretty quickly.

Note: the menu rotated once in a while; this visit was a couple of months ago so certain items in the review may not be currently available.

🔟Sorbet from frozen and dried herbs $65 (3/10)
綠茶sorbet淡得像沒綠茶味一樣,而herbs的味道十分濃烈,整體感覺像吃牙膏,而個人本來就不是herbs的愛好者,所以不懂欣賞。



📝餐廳比較迫,不建議一班朋友來吃,感覺太侷促。而且個人覺得這裡性價比頗低,除了一個貴字,沒有甚麼特別之處!

這裡用的鱈魚 ($230) 是挪威北極品種Skrei,肉質較爽脆。多汁豐油香不難做到,但能以喬頭及微酸的beurre blanc白汁解膩,並以芝麻油及迷迭香增添香氣,令我十分驚喜!

另一道主菜烤豬腩 ($255) 也是充滿驚喜。沒想到跟龍蝦肉的鮮跟腩肉的肥潤是如此匹配,不少得店家秘醬甜咖喱的惹味讓兩者肉汁都融合起來。

回到我來這裡的原因 - 我最期待甜品環節。第一次試百里香雪糕 ($120),其實香料味不太濃,反而有淡淡清草香,配著甜甜的蕃茄果醬,沒想到有點像吃甜版意粉。蜂花顆粒入口即溶,粉粉的又帶點蜜糖甜香,讓整體口感有趣多了。

這一趟北歐晚餐,用的配料、作的料理都打破了普遍fine dining的框架,讓人意想不到的配搭實是驚喜。

My first child is due in a week or so. All my friends who have successfully procreated wax lyrical about the unbridled emotion and incomparable joy of new fatherhood. “You can’t imagine how incredible it is,” they proclaim. “It’s unlike anything you’ll every experience,” they soppily disclose, as wayward tears fall into their Asahi. 

Obviously, none of them have eaten at Frantzen’s Kitchen. 

By some margin, Frantzen’s is the finest meal I’ve had in Hong Kong. The titillating perfection damn near brought a tear to this contemptuous critic’s eye. 

The dishes are complex in flavour but elegant in construction. Over bloody good gin and tonics (so good were the Hernö G&Ts we felt no need to move on from them throughout the evening) we dissected the annotated illustrations of each Nordic delight on the menu.

The menu is split into ‘snacks’ (these are essentially amuse bouche with a hefty price tag), ‘to begin’ (starters) and ‘to be continued’ (you guessed it, mains). In true countdown style, we were advised to have two from the top, one from the middle and one big one.

My first snack, the Sweedish Sushi was simply angelic. I popped it whole in my mouth and my head began to swim. Frozen liver delivered a velvety smoothness, which melted into the dry spongy white moss. A rich slither of roe deer lay akimbo, loosely fixed by earthy cep mayonnaise. Despite being $80 for a single mouthful, the dish was worth every penny.

In a departure from the robust black truffle that typically adorns the signature dish of French Toast, we were served Italian summer truffles. These melt-in-the-mouth slithers of light, white leaf were infinitely superior, beautifully matching the 25year old balsamic vinegar and not overpowering the lightly burnt bread.

The 63.4°c cooked oyster was very much enjoyed by a 38.2 week pregnant Mrs. A and the Chawanmushi (an unlikely orgy of cauliflower, herring, caviar, fermented mushroom juice and thyme) drew equally rave reviews.

In a restaurant scene increasingly drawn to fuss and whimsy, Frantzen’s décor is sleek and sophisticated and draws a sleek and sophisticated crowd. Our own sleek and sophisticated foursome sat around the bar-cum-kitchen, basking in the glow of a small grill that lightly blew the heavenly aroma of truffle.

All around us emasculated Vikings went about their business with a slight air of arrogance and a great deal of expertise. What proficiency these men – and they are all men – lack in raping and pillaging, they more than make up for with an unnatural capability in infusing, foaming and curing. 

These skills are no more evident than with my velouté starter. Almond milk swam with onion puree and was quietly punctuated by a light liquorish cream. This elegant soup was essentially a bowl of lacy liquid love. In appropriate fashion the whole lot glided down my throat faster than you could say loose-lipped Linda Lovelace.

My steamed turbot main lasted just as long. Woody pine shoots and fragrent peas, asparagus and herbs provided an elegant chorus that allowed the robust fish to sing. Once again, the pork belly, cod and lamb dishes left my fellow diners with a smirk as wide as my own. 

Of course, no one should be surprised that the first international outpost of one of Europe’s top chefs is very good. However, the extent to which Björn Frantzén wipes the floor with Messrs’ Ekkebus, Robuchon and Ducasse is somewhat surprising.

I rounded of my meal with the tyme icecream, tomato marmalade and meringue. The sweet taste left by raw bee pollen was the perfect end to the evening.  

Frantzen’s Kitchen is why we eat out. Completely original, refreshingly authentic and, above all, immensely enjoyable. My child has a lot to live up to.

叫左兩三款一件一啖既前菜,兩個主菜同甜品,唔係太肚餓諗住應該都夠兩個人分第一件好精緻但食完都唔知係咩黎不過又幾好食,第二件好香黑松露味又creamy,都唔錯..到個主菜pork belly,係香脆既配埋d南瓜蓉幾好味但實質只係一件西式既燒肉,份量都好細舊,感覺叫3份就差唔多再試埋個羊肉沙律,個汁有d酸同奇怪,唔係幾岩我口味~  最好食係呢個雪糕甜品,倒上熱朱古力係個朱古力殼上面慢慢溶開,入面係hazelnut脆粒同雪糕味道其實算特別但佢只係包裝到成件事好吸引好精緻令你覺得好特別,但每一碟既份量得半隻手掌甘大,叫3-4款前菜+主菜同甜品女仔都會覺得唔夠食,價錢都算偏貴但感覺用料唔值呢個價錢,黎試一次就夠

Never again!
The price is not up to the quality of the food! This is not a gastronomic restaurant worth the spending of 1300 hkd per person!
Our two first dishes just tasted like mayonnaise, the second set was nothing special and the third set could have been cooked by my mum at home ..so dissapointing

The service was not better.
They opened a second bottle of water at the end of the meal without asking us... in any normal restaurant, the waitress will ask first. Some waitresses were just in the open kitchen clearly mocking some customers in a pretemptious attitude. The sommelier was nothing but a French with a moustache with - for what I saw - no knowledge of wine. Not able to serve a wine at the right temperature...
Don’t go there, you can really get a better experience going elsewhere for a better price and better atmosphere!

甜點第三道煙薰冰淇淋,搭配巧克力、核桃碎、核桃泡沫、焦糖醬、salted fudge等,這道也偏甜。

前面的菜口感豐富,味道濃郁,幾乎每道都有醬汁,如果甜品可以做的清新爽口一點感覺更搭配。

總體來講Frantzén's Kitchen味道不錯,但是從造型、味道、食材等方面驚艷的菜我就記住一道,就是換成winter truffle的french toast。
