Tired of paying 3-4 times more than retail prices for a bottle of wine at a restaurant? You won't have that problem here at Le Bistro Winebeast where the wine is priced exactly the same as their retail wine shop nearby. This is perfect for people like me who'd like a glass of wine to go with my food to make for a perfect meal without breaking the bank.

Located on a side street next to the busy street market in Wan Chai, the restaurant looks and feels like a wine bar with mainly bar counter seating and two regular tables. Unfortunately sitting in a high chair at the bar wasn't very comfortable plus the restaurant was a bit cramped overall with limited space between seats. Lots of wine bottles were stored cleverly on the ceiling in racks as they try to maximize the limited space in the restaurant. For dinner, the restaurant offered a 4 course tasting menu for $448 with an optional wine pairing for only an additional $100! We decided to go for that so we didn't have to choose and it was a great way to explore what the kitchen has to offer.
Beef Tartare ($79) - I really wanted to try the beef tartare so we ordered this on top of the tasting menu. I love beef tartare but it will usually cost at least $200-$300 in HK for decent ones. Not only were the price at Le Bistro Winebeast reasonable, the quality of the beef tartare far surpassed my expectations as the beef was chunky while nicely seasoned (though we thought it was a bit heavy-handed with the mustard). We broke the yolk to mix it thoroughly with the beef and the result was just heavenly. For the price, this beef tartare was unbeatable! [4.5/5]
