La Marmite Bistrot Francais (Closed)

Upon arrival we were welcomed with freshly squeezed orange juice and a basket of absolutely devine pastries. I tried the croissant and the baguette, which were both very nice, but my top marks go to the "chocolate croissant", which was really fantastic. Having had a good experience with eggs at aqua restaurants before, I went for the cheese and herb omelet (but without the ham). The omelet did not disappoint: it had a very appetizing yellow colour, was light and fluffy with just the right amount

Came here to try their set lunch menu which according to my friend changes weekly.You have the option of two courses or three courses. Since we had an extended lunch break we all chose to have three courses.My entree of mixed mushrooms and goat cheese on toast was a cold dish. The little glass jar contained a medley of mushrooms and pork pieces immersed in a tasty stock base, I was a bit skeptical of the contents, but luckily it tasted marvellous with the mushrooms being perfectly cooked. The to

三條友諗住12點上泥walk in會ok，點知full哂仲連下一日都full埋，就下一個星期完班人馬再來友人前菜點anchovy salad, 睇落很新鮮多材料及很大盤，居然食唔哂我的羊之士mushroom不錯，之士夠香濃三條友叫左個花瓜creme brûlée share食，漏漏地涼涼地鵝有鵝味肝有肝味蛋有蛋味亦有creme brûlée 感覺 good laMain course 係sea bass , standard 講完朋友點的gnocchi 我搶咗少少食，wor jur duck 太林，似不夠potato 比例，但朋友話好，我諗我個口比佢好力整體是好的，但若要比較近期soho新同類的話，我like Bouchon Bistro Francaise 多D, 好食D

Original Review @: http://foodofhongkong.blogspot.com/2011/04/la-marmite-12.html Down-to-earth French Bistrot style diners are suddenly all proliferating in HK all at the same time, and most of them within the Central or West end of Hong Kong island area! La Marmite is opened by the Aqua Group, which doesn't need any introduction, except that a lot of their restaurants seem to be aimed at either expats or tourists, even more so than King Parrot or Igor's restaurants!Bread arrived warm, an

Had lunch with my colleagues at La Marmite today. Enjoyed the delicious food there a lot - the 63°C Egg is a must eat, the Chicken Breast was very tender and tasty and the Paris Brest melts in your mouth! The set lunch was reasonably priced, somewhat more competitive than the other two newly opened French Bistros in Soho given the quality of food offered in La Marmite.I like the decor there too. It is very bright inside the restaurant during the daytime and the setting is very Parisian. The gr

變幻無常的，又何只是人生?!香港食店的興衰更迭，有時真的快得令人婉惜。去年11月初光顧過Allora，才幾個月光景，同一地址已換了一家名為La Marmite的法國小菜館。La Marmite是飲食集團 Aqua，在中環蘇豪區所開設的新餐廳。甫踏進La Marmite已覺得這裡很有Allora的影子，因為除了換上新燈飾、餐桌、餐椅、牆壁又髹上粉綠新色之外，基本格局與Allora並無分別。這家以法文“煮食鍋”為命名的小菜館，沒有高級餐廳那令人懾怯的豪氣，有的是平易近人的住家式溫馨。星期六的La Marmite，除了供應All Day Breakfast之外，也有幾款散點菜式(六款前菜、七款主菜和五款甜點)可供食客選擇。價錢方面前菜和主菜約$98-$198，甜點則是一律每款$78。這一年多以來，光顧了上百家不同的餐廳菜館。老實說很多餐廳的水準都不過爾爾，往往令我吃完一次之後，就沒有再訪的衝動，La Marmite卻是少數能令我有深刻印象的餐廳。原因有三: 一) 這裡的總廚Renaud Marin竟然與影星George Clooney有八成相似; 二) 菜式有特色; 三) 用料新鮮優質。奉勸

It was the second day of La Marmite's opening weekend and wow, what a buzz about the place already!People were squashing in to get a table and whoever wasn't able to get seated right away was kept amused with delicious appetisers ranging from thinly sliced ham to yummy liver pattey and pieces of warm bread with salmon tartare etc. They also offered free wine for those who were waiting, so needless to say, we were in a splendid mood - that's what I call service! There were several French chefs (a
