Metropolitain (Closed)

Booked a table, hence no waiting time.We had onion soup, shared avocado and soft shell crab salad, my friend had half roasted chicken, I had aubergine parmigiani.Onion soup was sour and a bit gooey, the bread and cheese were floating inside the soup. I liked the taste, but this is not the way onion soup usually tastes and looks.Crab salad tasted nice, although it had bitter aftertaste. It has a very interesting texture of crab, crab roe (?) and avocado blended together. I suspect the salad was t

主題由來最主要來自這店的法籍廚師與法籍老闆娘, 老闆娘無論在說歡迎、再見、多謝等也是用法語, 而其他時間便說流利易聽但帶住點點法國口音的英語, 加上她那對淺藍色眼珠與店內滲出淡淡的法式味道, 很有情懷當日早了點來到, 不過老闆娘好 nice 地叫我們坐下, 還反叫我們等一會因廚師們在預備中; 由於距離正式開店時間還有 15 分鐘, 所以暫時未有其他客人而我與友人可以慢慢欣賞店內的裝潢

相約好友到西環的Metropolitain 吃Brunch : ) 超喜歡這裡的半開放式設計，加上今天陽光充沛，感覺非常寫意 ^_^服務員先送上麵包籃，麵包是暖的，外脆內軟。"Ham & Cheese Omelette" (HK$68)﹕賣相遜色了一點，水準一般吧。我點了 "Egg Benedict" (HK$78)和鮮榨橙汁(HK$30)，Egg Benedict的麵包口感夠煙韌，蛋汁很濃很香，帶少許酸很開胃，配以薄脆煙肉和薯仔粒粒實在豐富!"Warm Camembert Cheese with roasted potatoes" (HK$208): 芝士暖暖的半溶，把它切開，蘸上烤薯仔粒粒很惹味!這餐廳的食物和服務都不錯，但以輕鬆隨意又帶點懶慵慵的氣氛最吸引我! 找個晴朗的日子來試試吧 : )

I have been longing to try Metropolitain and finaly I made it the past Tuesday. All I can say is that Metropolitain is what I excepted and more! I would definitely recommand it.AtmosphereThere was the option of sitting on or out side. Being at the restaurant made my Tuesday afternoon not a typical one as it was very chill. The design of the restaurant was simple, comfortable and industral. Definitely a place where you'd want to hang out and be seen at on a Saturday night and or a chill Sunday af

My sister has been talking about this place for some time and since we live nearby, we finally made it to Metropolitan today.  The restaurant has an indoor and outdoor section. A French lady who was the owner I believe greeted us and told us to sit wherever we liked so we chose to sit outside as it wasn't too hot.   After we took our seats, the lady put down some menus for us to look at. Then,another lady asked us if we wanted some water and quickly brought them to us. The lunch specials were

I have been here for lunch twice, and both times I sat at the counter by myself where I could watch the cooks do their work.  In this place, you are literally sitting 3 feet from the cooks if you are at the counter.  This can be very entertaining if the cooks are skilled and efficient at what they are doing, but it can have the drawback of being able to see too much detail regarding what you are eating.The first time I was here I tried the steak tartar.   It was good and very flavorful, but the

We arrived around 8:30pm on Sat and it was pretty busy. The service was pretty decent but not too attentive. The food was pretty average. Nothing to write home about. The deco is very nice. The apple pie dessert is something that we enjoyed the most. Didnt have a chance to try their beef or tuna tartare but it does look good. One other thing was the fries was very very oily! Enough so that I noticed the table next to mine (2 females) actually used napkins to pat down the oil.

This restaurant is a real little heaven in the rising area of Sai Ying Pun.I had dinner there with my girlfriend and we have been totally seduced.First, the venue is really amazing. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.The staff is attentive and efficient.For the food, no comment except perfect for us:- Salmon tartar: Unavoidable!! just wonderful! It's fresh and well prepared with some crunchy condiments that give a special dimension to this dish. its served with some toasts.- Goat cheese sa

一位友人將要出嫁去到一個很遠的地方, 嫁給一個外國人!!! (哇!! 羨慕的很呢!!!)不知道何時會再見面, 而她是先生工作上的夥伴, 也是個曾經相約一起踩過單車的同事! (公開三角戀? 當然不是啦! 那是一次公司性質的活動啦!)她　－　Stella 性格開朗, 工作充滿衝勁比得起男人的她卻不失一個女人應有的魅力!! 這是我對她的印象!!!因著她既將要離開, 我們在Metropolitan享受著我們的Last Supper (最後的晚餐!! Ok, 其實沒那麼傷感啦!)一個熱愛自已工作的人，想必也是很熱愛生活！從選擇的餐館來看就可以知道這女人把自己照顧得很好呢！美食，美酒，美人兒！！！！當然，我並不驚訝她的選擇！！因為從她挑選一個外國人做老公！真的，就已經是比我這種普通人高了很多等呀！Anyway, 我想你也等不及想知道這餐廳的一切了吧！　我們現在就來回顧一下我們昨天的飲食感想吧！雖然說星期天晚上的西環，應該沒有那麼多人！但是為了確保我們到達能夠有座位，訂台是指定動作！！我們一班11個人！坐的位置面正開放式廚房！一間餐廳能夠將其廚房完完全全展露於食客面前！不外乎它對自己的乾淨整潔，烹調

I and a friend went to try this restaurant we had vaguely heard about on high street. The decor is picturing a French brasserie. Poor service:We arrived at rush hour - around 2 pm on Saturday and the restaurant was full, but as there was no queue, we decided to wait for a table. We were proposed to wait at the bar, which we did and probably shouldn't have done. From the moment we sat, the two waiters were pressuring us to eat at the bar, in front of the mayonnaise pot, condiments, and other cook

揸住架車，要係西半山開飯，真係有D難度，因為先要泊好架車。好好彩，我係高街揾到個咪表位。我二十年前係呢頭返工，簡直係無啖好食，而家係乜都有得食。禮拜日，午飯時間，好多間舖頭都排嗮隊。不過我好肚餓，唔等得啦！呢間門口有兩張吉枱，一張話留座，一張未執枱。洋妞侍應說歡迎光臨，不過店裡人客多，上菜會比較慢。我哋就在吉枱坐下來。研讀menu，法國人brunch會喝酒，不過我要開車，當然不能喝，（其實很想喝）。All day breakfast，有多種選擇，都離不開雞蛋，我選了Eggs Benedict 。點解？因為我自己煮唔到啰。落咗單，坐係門口，高街雖然係橫街，不過都不停有車經過。邊吃麵包，邊看路人。有一枱洋人吃完了，在門口話別，擁抱、親吻、再擁抱、依依不捨。他們的肢體語言配合咗呢間法國餐廳。Eggs Benedict 來了，好好食！雞蛋嘅生熟程度恰到好處，配合荷蘭醬，正！呢兩樣，我係屋企自己搞唔到嘛！muffin同beacon都好食。（呢兩樣，我有本事整嘅。）放假，就給自己一個悠閒早午餐吧！其實由我哋泊好車，揾到呢間舖頭，到我食完個早餐，都唔洗一個鐘頭，算好快嘎嚹。

With the new escalator and train station being built, Sai Ying Pun is becoming quite the up and coming area with galleries, trendy restaurants and bars popping up around the hood. Friends in SYP had told me about this new French place along the new escalator which is the latest addition to the French Creations group who also owns Pastis, FAB and St Germaine. I never bother going to Pastis coz it is pretty much always packed with people overflowing onto the street. But this restaurant is in SYP a

意大利菜與法國菜，兩者在香港擁有不少的支持者，可謂旗鼓相當。先不談味道的喜好，在我的腦海裡，意大利菜給人較 Causal、輕鬆的感覺，而法國菜總要隆重一點， Dress Up、裝扮是在所難免。光是這點的差別，使我這個懶人親近意大利菜多一些。Metropolitain 是一家新的法國餐廳，當天下午致電訂位，風趣的老外用上 3 個 Fully - Fully Fully Fully Booked 來形容晚上的情況，唯有嘗試用 Walk-In 來試探虛實，他表示並不介意我 Walk-In，他還開玩笑答道，到時也許塞我到廚房裡去，大家哈哈大笑，然後有誠意地留下我的名字。當晚我和老公晚上8時15分抵達，無論餐廳的前半部或後半部均爆滿了，心裡涼了一截！誰料15分鐘後，有位客人離開，我們剛好接上這張檯子，真夠運氣！Metropolitain 採半開放式設計，以摺合式木門分隔前、後兩個部份。前半部面對高街，放置了 Coffee Shop 般的小圓檯；後半部設有酒吧，烤雞架，正規餐廳的設計。招呼我們的是一位帶有重重法國口音的男士，有時我和老公真聽不清楚他某些英文用字，但他的幽默與爽朗卻是讓人很愉快，證明

I came here the other night with some friends. While they weren't very impressed, and I wasn't VERY impressed, I still liked it. Though more and more things keep getting added out in Sai Ying Pun, none of it is all that amazing (when compared to what's east of it). I think Metropolitain is a good step forward. Here's what we had:Baked camembert: I'm no cheese-expert. This was gooey and cheesy and went well with bread, though it was somewhat difficult to serve. It was probably not very healthy, t

I live in Sai Ying Pun and tried this new restaurant. I love this place!I often go to France and this restaurant is an authentic one. You are directly taking back to the real Paris.First the venue is amazing, with this huge terrace, this open kitchen and the impressive map of the city of love.Then the food. Amazing! Thanks to the chef!The home made foie gras is perhaps the best ever tried in Hong Kong! An authentic french Foie gras. The slices are quite thick and it is very tasty. And the chutne
