下午五時到室內有位便試試它的甜品,點了lemon tart及eclair, 味道比我期待中差,但價錢來說頗大眾化。lemon tart有些少過甜,但有清新檸檬味。eclair餅皮 不太新鮮,當中的醬偏甜,比起最近位於金鐘的那家火紅eclair專門店的水準是有明顯差異。飲品叫了菊花茶,是他們自家品牌,偏淡 味。侍應十分國際化,服務不錯,那位像法國人的waitor主動問我們需不需要暖水。當天人不多,是一個鬧市中歇息的一個不錯的選擇。

Cute and cozy little place, however, as I said, while I can tell that they care a lot about the quality of their ingredients, the flavours are in need some work. Portion sizes are also quite small. Points taken off mostly for lack of flavor (as expected from descriptions per menu).

May still give it a go at their breakfast items on another day, shall report in due course...

Food items ordered:

1. Chicken Cobb salad with smoked tea vinegarette - served on a bed of kale (instead of mesclun as per description), personally love kale but not in salads, as I find that kale is a bit too rubbery and coarse eaten raw. Had they told me that they're using kale I would have not ordered it. Flavor of the vinegarette is non-existent and quite oily to be honest. Nice chunks of chicken and avocado but not super overall. (5/10)

2. chicken water(something)loo - the most flavor packed dish of the night. Sauce was supposed to be a white beer reduction, but mostly it was a creamy buttery sauce (but tasted pretty good though). Served up in a small cast iron pot with some slices of organic bread. About 4-5 slices of chicken breast in the pot. (6/10)

3. chicken curry cranberry tartine with cranberry harissa - served on a thin slice of bread slightly longer than the length of an adult's palm, portion size is good for a light lunch but probably not enough for a dinner. Harissa has a bit of a kick but doesn't have that smokiness I expect from harissa. Tastes more like cranberry sauce with some hot sauce. (6/10)

Drinks:

1. Green and Herbal iced tea - tastes like home brewed iced tea nothing special. (5/10)

2. Super green house blend - kale, lemon, apples and ginger ran through a blender into a thickened shake. Not enjoyable, would of tasted better with a bit of honey, but at least I know I'm getting lots of fiber from this drink and that they didn't skimp on the ingredients (6/10)

吃著吃著,看到隔壁桌的窩夫,我和友人也心動點了一客,另一名友人又多點了一客omelette。

結果,等了10分鐘,追問之下才知道沒有下單,結果又下多一次。

之後又花了20分鐘等食物的到來。

也是賣相呃得下人了吧,比利時不是很有名嗎窩夫?

他不但不鬆而且皮也不脆,內裡是實一實的一團麵粉,感覺像麵包。

幸好,他們用的蜜糖是上等貨色,淋上面閉上眼嚥下算了。

之後結賬,明明人也不多,店員每個都好像很忙。

叫到人結賬,等了15分鐘未見賬單,我們著人去查。

賬單拿到手,多算了5項價錢,著他們改。

再拿來,還是多了3項,又改。

終於,最後一次對了。

整頓飯好像吃了2個多小時吧。

店員態度其差,又沒什笑容。

食物只有飲品值那價錢。

還是算了吧。

Almost every one of my friends has been complaining about the lack of quality French bakery shops in Hong Kong the last couple of years so when we heard rumblings about the opening of Le Pain Quotidien in Wanchai, everyone was holding their breath a little bit. Originated from Belgium, Le Pain Quotidien specializes in homemade bread, tartines, pastries and salad (made with organic ingredients) very much like my favorite French boulangerie Paul's Bakery. Not only was the Belgian bakery chain very successful in Europe (Netherlands, UK, France, Switzerland etc.), their worldwide expansion was also an impressive one having covering North America, South America, Middle East and now Asia (Japan, Hong Kong and India) with more than 220 branches in 17 different countries. This time around, they've teamed up with Dining Concepts, the city's F&B giant for their foray into Hong Kong (perhaps China is also in the works!?).

I knew I had to try their éclair somehow. While these didn't look as sharp or cute as L'Eclair de Génie's colorful éclairs, they actually tasted pretty OK and definitely not as sweet as most éclairs in the market.

It is not hard to notice this halfly-indoor-halfly-outdoor eatery right at the entrance of Lee Tung Avenue facing the side of tramway. A bit off track from the pre-revitalised scene of an avenue for wedding card companies, the European style backdrop of the Avenue with light marble structures sets the scene right for LPQ who came all the way from Brussels. With all it featured clearly written at the door - "Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner & Pastries", basically it covers all mealtimes and all kinds of food! "Bakery & Restaurant" is all it is, if you don't want to bother getting things to their exact meanings.

I do believe in love at first sight - and this "outdoor patio" is what truly fascinates me other than the fame of the LPQ brand. It is not totally roofless, as the residential block is perched above, offering it a prudent cover but at the same time letting sunshine be shed over the seats.

Not yet to the dine-in options - on the way to the cashier and dine-in area, I walked past a tall shelf of spreads and jams that LPQ produces for its own brand. Jam should be more commonly known by Hong Kongers but spread should be something new, though in the same usage as jam and peanut butter - equally a good companion to bread and pastries.

A typical scene in a boulangerie, cashier is surrounded by out-of-the-oven baked goods, which are rapidly refilled and can only be purchased at request. The dine-in area lies next to it, with 60% indoor and 40% outdoor to be exact.

In slightly dimmed yellowish lighting, indoor seats are cozy in its unpretentious ambience. However, I was particularly drawn to the outdoor seats, which required a wait in the queue on a Sunday afternoon. A staff constantly came to the queue to ask if indoor seats were preferred to shorten the waiting time.

In my 20-minute wait, I took a close watch over the baked goods at the cashier. Though with a broader fare than a mere bakery which LPQ began as early as 1990, bread remains the major attraction and product that LPQ is proud of and famed for. "Le Pain Quotidien" means the daily bread in French and offers a lot more than French baguettes.

Baked goods are generally sold at a highly affordable price - mostly at $20-30/each. Examples are croissants at $20, cinnamon swirls at $22, muffins at $25 and donuts at $30. Comparable to Starbucks, right?

Sweet tooth should find baked goods appealing too - various kinds of authentic belgian desserts are not to be missed, such as eclairs at $35, tarts at $45-55 and waffles at $65. Not all desserts are displayed around the cashier, but they can be ordered as long as they are on the menu.

Outdoor seats are mainly round and square tables hosting 4 people, with several small ones hosting 2 people. No wonder queueing is necessary - no minimum charge, and no maximum time of stay. In addition to these, tables are not shared among strangers, therefore even if a customer comes alone, he deserves a table on his own, let alone be a 2-seater or 4-seater one. This truly ensures privacy but at the same time, making tables under-utilised, which in turn generates queue.

Apart from the baked options, LPQ serves a wide range of food in organic ingredients suiting all mealtimes and all appetites. Light dishes like tartines ($88-128) and salads ($98-118) as well as hot dishes ($148-$188) with sides ($68) are offered, alongside Belgian specialties like the Mezze Platter ($168) and cheese board ($148). LPQ positioned like Passion in promixity and Simplylife, just that it features more on Belgian food such as tartines (a slice of bread with toppings) which cannot be found easily in town.

Bread lovers should feel at heaven - as LPQ is known for its freshly prepared organic bread, the option of "Organic Baker's Basket" ($88 for small and $108 for large) can satiate with an assorted selection of baked goods.

For beverages, pricing is equally affordable - with all sorts of general coffee at two portions, mostly at $38 for small and $42 for large. Pots of organic tea and infusion tea bags are available at $32 which makes a really good deal.

For cold ones, spotlight should be on organic cold-pressed juice at $60 which recently comes into a great hit and daily blends at $40 like those at EXP in Festival Walk. Not pricey as well, and should be very appealing to health-conscious customers.

If one isn't in the mood of pretending or genuinely feeling healthy, wine is also available in glasses at $68-78, covering sparkling wine, white, red and rose. Belgian beer is available in bottles at $58-78, though not seemingly matching with the elegant vibe!

It was at around 5pm that I just needed to kill time between meals. I just ordered something light - an Organic Hazelnut Flute ($25) and a daily blend named Super Green ($40).

The flute, being a long thin crusty loaf, was served first. Really named as it looks like a flute, it is a condensed bread stick with a focus of hazelnuts and raisins inside.

I did order this for a taste of LPQ's bread, and what's more, for its signature spread. Later discovering that only outdoor tables aren't equipped with spread, I asked for a set of spreads - the Raspberry Jam and the Speculoos.

To summarise what in fact speculoos is - the texture is like as gritty as peanut butter, but tastes in cinnamon and ginger flavour. It is named after a type of Belgian cookies which do taste like this, just that it becomes a spread that can be applied to all sorts of bread.

Being a greedy sweet tooth, I got two spoonful of these on the dish. Cutting the flute into slices is not an easy task as it is chewy and densely filled with fruits and nuts. Crunchy on the exterior and chewy in the interior, it makes a perfect evening snack.

Sweetness is just right as decorated mainly by juicy raisins. Abundant amount of hazelnut was found, which approximately makes the flute 50% filled other than flour!

As we normally know baguettes in its most common form, flute is another form of white bread that is worth a try. “Baguette” just means "a stick" and doesn't limit to the most typical form - there is a lot more to explore.

I don't need an extra caffeine dose for the day, so a detoxifying blend will be fine to freshen up. It largely resembles the one I had at EXP, with clear segments of half-solid and liquid underneath.

Having celery, ginger, pineapple, lemon, kale and apple mixed, Super Green tastes really green - with celery dominating the taste and sweet highlights (by pineapple and apple) at the end. Not at all easy to stir since there is just a straw, the smoothie-like drink was finished off with remains sticking in the interior of the cup. Recommended to ask for a stirer for the best taste so that the stringy substance isn't set apart with the juice.

Enjoying all these without disturbance, sunshine faded and bulbs above me was lit up! Not hard to imagine this romantic setting at night?

Probably switching from tea-time to dinner time, it wasn't that crowded at 6pm and tables were getting cleared. There wasn't any queue for outdoor as well as indoor seats.

Positioning as a communal-table bakery cafe, a long, wooden communal table is what links in common among LPQ's 235 siblings worldwide.

Aforementioned for my request for spreads, seasonings as well as spreads are placed on the table for customers' use at all times, just that they are probably too bulky to occupy small tables outside at the patio. Tins of spread are available to be purchased at $58 to be enjoyed at home!

What is placed on the table doesn't limit to seasonings, but also the LPQ cookbook, presenting over 100 recipes for the baked goods and dishes it offers.

The flute I enjoyed is featured in the cookbook, though not in English that I could just identify by the picture. Quite a different culture and concept when compared to Chinese - Chinese won't usually disclose how signature dishes are made, and tend to keep "secret weapons" to themselves. It is all about sharing in foreign culture, and a cookbook listing how its products are made won't be able to save you a visit.

It was a surprise visit to this famous bakery-cum-restaurant at Lee Tung Avenue. Mainly drawn by its wide selection of baked goods as well as comprehensive menu which truly makes it an all-round eatery, Passion and the Simplylife should have a tough time facing this strong competitor, which is a highly affordable option no matter for snacks or decent meals. I look forward to its next outlet opening in August in the Pacific Place, but this Wan Chai's outlet should be able to satiate me, at least for now
!
Other Info. : Grand opening on 9th March 2016

This is a newly open restaurant at Wanchai. According to the manager, this is the first Belgium restaurant in HK but they do serve fusion to meet local needs. I was there for lunch but decided to try their recommendation - HK breakfast and Belgium waffle. HK breakfast is actually a Chinese porridge with some vegetable.

This is a newly open restaurant at Wanchai. According to the manager, this is the first Belgium restaurant in HK but they do serve fusion to meet local needs. I was there for lunch but decided to try their recommendation - HK breakfast and Belgium waffle. HK breakfast is actually a Chinese porridge with some vegetable. The set comes with a cup of coffee and served in a bowl. The taste of the porridge is fine but not the waffle. I would expect the waffle is freshly made but it's not. They just heat up the waffle and nothing special compare with others. The coffee is too diluted. To be honest, I would rather go to La Station if I have to pay separately. What make me upset is the service. It took them more than 30mins to serve the food. All the staff "look" busy n everyone is just running like headless chicken. They do not know what they need to do and have no knowledge about the menu. In fact I am not the only one feel upset with the service because the gentleman seated next to my table also had a bad experience and make a complaint to one of the staff there. i decided to give them another chance and I went there this morning for brunch. I was one of their first client of the day and I make my order once I was seated. I waited for more than 30 mins and my food is still not ready. Later I get to know that they did not place my order and the waitress apologise for what happen and quickly placed my order. I waited for another 20 mins and I saw they have been serving the rest of the client and yet my food is not ready. I was extremely dissapointed and this is my second visit there but still facing the same problem. That's enough. If they are not ready to serve I would suggest them not to rush to open because that's really chase people away. By the time I decided to leave my food is still not ready. No more third visit!

食物可以,但服務其差,等候食物時間長,價錢與服務不相附。坐室外,一直食塵一直等啲野食來。本人叫咗Croissant,Waffle,Cuppiccino,等咗超過半個鐘都未到,問服務生兩次,依然要等超過十五分鐘。(其實叫呢幾樣野係因為太肚餓,貪佢夠快,點知我朋友叫啲複雜既野食都仲快過我果啲。)明明見到Counter放左好多Croissant同Waffle,所以以為等咁耐係因為廚房要整熱先拎得過來。點知...... 啲野食泥到係凍既.... 食落完全唔覺得新鮮..... 等到火都泥,又多塵,所以最近決定外賣,但服務生竟然話Waffle拎走既話連Cream都無(本身堂食係包埋)。埋單三百幾,完全唔值。以後都唔會再去呢間野。
