Mano (Closed)

I like to go there quite regularly since their reopening in September. This is definitely a very nice restaurant, no matter when I go,  I'm happily surprise. No wonder it have been recognized by this year TATLER guide one of the 20 best restaurant in HK. There is something special there. Food is well thought. Service is very friendly and attentive. They are open from B'fast to Dinner so I had the occasion to try different slots time. Breakfast. I simply love their egg Benedict, perfectly cooked

星期六的早上, 文迪不用上班, 不如走遠一點吃個豐富的早餐吧. mano位處L Place的地下, 這天早上, 人客不太多, 反而讓我們一家三口能夠好好的慢活一下. 始終小吉出生之後, 生活忙碌了不少, 每一餐也是匆匆忙忙的, 難得有機會享受悠閒的時光, 真好.這裡環境是幾舒適的, 怪不得這天早上是有不少客人一家大細來的. 看看餐牌, 還是對a la carte那邊的選擇比較有興趣, 就揀選兩款心水項目, 再加兩杯飲品吧.Greenlane $60: 8分, 先來點喝的吧, 大家的選擇也是smoothies, 我揀了Greenlane, 單看名字也知道是青青的組合, 是由奇異果, 梨, 青瓜以及蘋果結合而成, 味道很清新天然, 但又不會太酸, 是因為用上靚水果吧. 一早起來喝杯健康的smoothies, 對身體也好一點.Gold Coast $60: 文迪的選擇是黃金海岸, 是由芒果, 菠蘿, 椰子, 乳酪, 杏仁以及蜜糖結合而成, 試了一口, 味道鮮甜, 也不錯.Eggs Benedict $120: 8.5分, 我跟文迪也很喜歡吃Eggs Benedict, 那來到mano, 當然

I went for lunch here today with a friend. Didn't have any expectation, but feel so disappointed with the money I paid. The dishes looked excellent, but the taste...We ordered 2 appetiziers- Egg and Caeser Salad:The Egg dish was cooked with mushroom and it is heavily soaked with parma ham; the Caeser salad was flooded with dressing- both dishes were so salty to a point which I couldn't bear. The Salmon sandwich (lunch set) was disappointing too-the bread was not warm, the cheese inside made the

Booked a table earlier on the same day so there was no waiting time required.The set lunch menu includes a few appetisers, two soups, some mains and some desests.  You could choose a two course or three course lunch.I choose the two course menu with the chestnut soup and a pasta dish. All sets included a 'seasonal ice tea'.The first thing that came was the tea.  I am quite sure that the menu said 'ice tea'.  It obviously came hot.  Perhaps the restaurant should change the menu to reflect that li

I just took my team out for lunch at Mano as a pre-Christmas treat. The service was good and we were seated right away. Based on my previous 3 visits (last year) I felt confident that the restaurant would provide good food at a reasonable price in a high end environment and the location is very close to our office, so I thought it would be a suitable choice to give my staff a treat in return for their year's good work. Unfortunately the menu is completely different to how is used to be and in ef

The interior is quite stylish, staff tries its best (that is not enough), but the food was disappointing. Let me say that the quality of products is great, but then it really lags in terms of execution. The chef was out of town, so that could be an explanation - but honestly if I pay the full price I couldn't care less where the chef is. Don't try the mussles for a starter. Thet were of perfect quality, but the sauce was a disagrace - no flavor, but super salty. It felt that they just used the s

Lunch with colleague today. Picked this place due to location. 280 plus 10%for three course.Endive salad as appetizer. Portion is okay, love the avacado but not much cheese. I expect more as it mentioned in menu it is gruyere.Main course is beef and as per waiter it is cooked in oven for over seven hours. But the fact is the beef is very dry. I dip the sauce so I can swallow but it is quite salty. Also, there is no starch in this main course. Only four small mushroom is on the beef. I feel a bi

Mano既位置好方便，係中環既大街。呢間餐廳好寬敞，個廚房係開放式，成個地方裝修得好靚，亦好適合同朋友坐係到慢慢傾計。我同兩個朋友order左sandwich with fries, chicken Caesar salad同Greek yogurt share 啲食物比我地預期中好食。個sandwich幾好食，但唔稱得上好特別。反而個caesar salad好好，因為佢既chicken breast唔似得其他地方個啲咁，mano個個係好滑同熱既，好有heart。而greek yogurt就係一層yogurt一層oat再一層鮮果，唔會好酸，因為有蜜糖，係個好健康既甜品。

寫意人生少不了一頓豐富的假日早餐，平日工作忙碌，早餐不是住家健康麥皮，就是快餐麵包餅點，每逢周末，晨早運動後總是想找一處舒適的地方，吃一頓豐富早餐及閒聊一番。得悉L Place 又有型格新店，而且班底強勁，如國際聯軍，  兩位老闆是韓藉人，請來Sabatini前意藉大廚作總廚，澳門Robouchon 前head baker 製作酥餅麵包及來自英國的咖啡師主理水吧，聞之垂涎，於是這周末特意走到中環朝聖。 進入商廈，面前就是位於地面的Mano，果然歐陸cafe風格，環境寧靜優雅，燈光略暗，氣氛宜兩三知己把酒談心，果然沒有猜錯，cafe亦有紅白酒供應。周末有brunch menu，項目不多，但種類尚算齊備，輕食的有酥餅如牛角包Crossant, Financier, Danish 及 Bread，豐富些的有Pancake 及 Waffle，健康些的有Granola，當然少不了full set breakfast 如荷蘭蛋，腸仔，煙肉，薯餅，松露，魚子等組合系列，每款皆各有其獨特風格。 我們二人胃口好，怎可滿足於酥餅，還是選了早餐類。Egg Hemingway 吃得奢侈點，選了煙三文魚菠

在某機構工作了近兩年，多得一班好同事的幫助。外人以為我公司很大，定要接觸好多人，其實我只是大公司的一個小部門，全Team不足8人，細細地其實更易話為，而且就因為人少，我得以做很多不同的崗位，學的東西比較多。不過，人總要前進的，當有新工作機會降臨，我亦不會拒絕，唯有離開，有點兒不捨得，但仍然為自己找到新挑戰而開心。在臨走前，同事想跟我Farewell，建議食個Lunch，負責寫飲食的我，吃飯地點就交由我定，最後選了中環L Place地下的Mano。其實我經常去這裡樓上做Gym，但這餐廳就是過門不入，就藉著這次Farewell，來試試吧。預先訂了枱，在正午12時來到，未到上班族的午飯時間，人客並不多。Lunch Menu有Starters，Soups，Main Courses，Desserts四個類別，可在其中選2 Courses ($220)或3 Courses ($280)，我們全部人都揀2 Courses。午餐附送凍香葉檸茶，其實我想要咖啡，但不能換，這香葉檸茶清香偏淡，適合我這類不愛甜物的人。我的2 Courses選擇是Pasta及Seabream.Pasta放在Starter一格

近年香港甚麽都講求自由，新聞工作者要求新聞自由，學校要求學術自由，就連廚師也越來越追求創作自由！上星期初開始聽到一些小道消息，說港島香格里拉酒店旗下星級餐廳 Petrus 的總廚 Frederic Chabbert 即將離任。據說 Chef Chabbert 有感酒店餐廳在制度上的束縛太多，創作空間有限，今次決定放下身段，轉戰親民的咖啡輕食小店 Mano，為了正是更多的自主和空間。為著配合新的總廚和餐單，Mano 在七月底「閉關」接近一星期作小型的裝修，準備迎接新的開始。這星期趁著餐廳剛剛重新開業，我們也順道來個突擊檢查。修飾後的 Mano 表面上沒有太大的改變，餐單仍然繼續走歐陸菜的路線。頭盤先來一款自家製鵝肝醬配大黃和多士，鵝肝醬份屬幼滑，但臊味嚴重不足，味道同時亦缺乏一點酒香 (2/5)。另一款頭盤松露蕃茄忌廉通心粉味道優勝得多了。通心粉入口柔滑煙靱 ，配以鮮松露、蕃茄和香草，口感 creamy，松露跟蕃茄和忌廉互補不足，效果令人滿意 (3.5/5)。接著頭盤的是一款餐湯。是日點的魚湯用精緻的玻璃茶壼盛載，再由侍應細心地灌入事先預備好的蟹肉和帶子當中。清湯的味道大致跟法式傳統的海

一間由韓籍美女所開設的西餐廳, 印象中韓國人在香港開設主要是韓國菜餐廳, 品嘗由其主理/開設的都是首次。Mano設在 L.Place 地下全層, 其樓底很高, 進去用餐感覺空間感很寬闊, 在中環區不多見。原本想在此品嘗 All day breakfast 等, 原來只在早餐時間供應, 有點失望, 只好改食 set lunch。先上Beetroot salad, 賣相一流, 沙律食材灑上陳醋,  最特別是雞蛋用上天然紅菜頭染了紅色, 感覺清新味道甜美, 酸甜的味道無論在味道及口感上都很好, 擺盤也非常美觀討好。另外 Iceburg lettuce salad 則相對比較遜色, 沙律食材加上煙肉及 Parmesan 芝士, 基本是不俗, 但對上 Beetroot salad 實在味道太甜美, 當然此沙律也是水準之作。主菜選了 Spicy smoked roast chicken, 烤雞香口非常, 恰到好處的火候, 雞皮脂肪差不多全去, 加上香辣的味道, 吃得滿足的菜式。Mano's chargrilled beef burger 是另一道主菜, 賣相吸引的漢堡, 要了medium, 恰到好

Having a day off by myself on a weekday, decided to come here for lunch as I have always wanted to try it since it opened.Beautiful casual decor, it was a bit like Simply Life minus the insane queue of people. Service was attentive and quick. I didn't need to wait for long when I needed something and questions were answered promptly.Ordered a pan fried salmon with hollandaise sauce, roasted potatoes and French beans. This was fantastic. Just the right portion. Salmon was perfectly cooked. Skin w

I recently visited Mano for Brunch. Having long been a fan of the coffee and making it a stop on my daily commute I was tempted to sample the food menu.I was seated quickly and efficently by the friendly staff. I ordered the Eggs Benedict to compliment my drip Coffee. The Coffee was made with a speciality roast imported from the world famous Korean 'Coffee Libre'. The enthusiast barista explained the filter process and the choice of coffee. The coffee was served in a glass bottle on a wooden boa

I went along to Mano restaurant last Thursday with a colleague to sample their new lunchtime menu. I often walk past L place but have never ventured into Mano - that's not to say that I haven't heard great things!...Rumour has it that Mano has the best coffee...so I was tempted to give it a try!Mano's restaurant is bright, light and has a great vibe. The staff are super friendly and efficient. I ordered the yellow fish curry with jasmine rice, cucumber, coriander, mint and yogurt ($170) and my c
