The Pawn (Closed)

The other night, my friends threw a birthday dinner party here! Heard that it was awesome. That's why I made a reservation here as well for my friend as well. We bought a cake... unfortunately, they charge over HKD$ 200 for a cake ! We decided not to pay the premium and enjoy it elsewhere.We didnt know that there was an elevator, so we took the stairs and walked up. The bar is on the 1/F. The environment and atmosphere was actually pretty nice. ( I think I will come back for a drink or so) We m

新年休假開開心心地睡飽了出來吃早午餐,記得朋友提過The pawn有戶外座位,就想到這裡享受一下溫暖的陽光; 這天沒有提供早午餐,所以我們點了生蠔,一份沙拉,一個燒乳豬伴蘋果汁,一個甘筍湯還有現榨橙汁及咖啡;一開始上了麵包和現榨橙汁,麵包搭配鹹奶油很不錯,橙汁我喝起來有股濃濃的酒味,給老公喝也覺得味道完全不對,請服務生換了一杯才給我正常的橙汁,連橙汁都放到壞掉,食材控管令人疑慮。接下來上了沙拉,我忘記是什麼沙拉了,味道是還可以; 重頭戲來了,生蠔半打,上桌的樣子還行,但比起Oyster C或是其他生蠔餐廳,這邊的蠔感覺已經打開了有一段時間,出水得比較嚴重,吃起來有一點點腥,但是味道大致上還可以; 但是吃完之後, 這生蠔害我跟老公大病了兩天,腸胃炎至今都只能吃粥...燒乳豬伴蘋果汁做得不錯,肉質不乾不油,搭配蘋果泥,兩人分食,不會覺得膩。下次再也不敢叫它的生蠔了,其實我們現在對於它的食材用料完全沒有信心...連橙汁都不新鮮,真的有辱這個價位的餐廳質素了...

到過和昌大押不下數十次, 大多是自己去享受奢侈的私人時間. 秋風送爽, 坐在露台喝酒, 在嘈吵的灣仔閙市中, 自成一角. 好幾次想到二樓的餐廳用膳,但價錢令我卻步. 某天友人找到THE PAWN的半價優惠券, 我得知此事, 二話不說就去訂座, 可見我對這食府有一定的期望.餐廳位於大押二樓, 跟普遍的西餐廳一樣, 燈光昏暗, 看不清楚這幢古蹟的細節. 寬敞的樓面, 高懸的天花, 沈實的木桌椅, 陳設算不上華麗, 表現出英國人厭庸俗,尚謙厚的個性, 亦帶有一股古舊的中國風. 我與友人坐下先來個Cocktail:Figgle – 冧酒, Grand Marnier配橙汁, 甜橙香中滲出無花果和玉桂的香味, 聽起來似乎太聖誕節的Cocktail, 喝進去溫暖的味道卻沒有與和暖的初秋相沖, 反而喚醒我佳節將至. 極佳的Cocktail.Chinese Lantern – 這個招牌Cocktail, 利用誘人的荔枝香, 配上伏特加跟薑, 薑的辣味穿過荔枝的甜味, 造成甜而不膩的效果.我選了續隨子(caper), 龍嵩(tarragon), 蒔蘿(dill)麵包糠焗原條黑鱲做主菜,魚先煎後上麵包糠,

Have eaten at Pawn for dinner before - but this time, there was something different. They've got a new chef, a new menu, and it's MUCH better! It wasn't bad before, but not great.Menu choices: much more attractive and palatable. Actually had a hard time deciding, which makes me want to go backPresentation: Plating has improved a lot, looks nicer and matches the price pointTaste: scallop appetizers - awesome. Pork belly - really juicy meat, crispy skin, well seasoned; good size. Quail - tender, l

六月不是一間便宜的餐廳，勝在環境舒服，簡簡單單的佈置吃簡簡單單西菜，概念就是這樣簡單。這天來是因為工作關係，主角是GOD的老闆，做了些筆記後，亦試了一些店方安排的菜式，有吞拿魚扒亦有蒜片蝦，說真的味道很濃的菜不太適合我，但這道蒜片蝦，非如同OLE的正宗做法，但蝦爽嫩，與鮮味的醬汁配搭起來，也很可口，簡簡單單，吃得滿意。這裡是個chill out輕食好地方。

Went there for my 40th with my gf at around 630pm to avoid the rush and timing was good because it wasn't too busy. We started off with half a dozen of their lovely Scottish Rock oysters. Afterwards we decided to both have the foie gras parfait which tasted very nice but unfortunately it was much too heavy and I think the portion size definitely should of been shrunken down a bit. For main courses I had the Canadian New York steak which is cooked perfect medium rare. Normally it comes with ro

The location is very convenient right in the middle of Wanchai. Can just hop off the tram! The building also has some historical significance and the view's great on the 2nd floor dining area. The tables are quite comfortably spaced out. Service's quite good. There were more servers than customers that night! Mostly polite and courteous but one waitress did get our coffee order wrong.. but other than that it was pretty spot on.The bread choices were simple but good. Just plain white or wheat. Th

Go pawn for lunch? The idea would certainly meet with disapproval by your parents or your other half. But this Pawn is not the pawn they may have in mind. The Pawn in Wanchai used to be an old pawnshop. A few years back, as Hong Kong started to preserve her heritage, the place was declared an historic building and has since been revitalized as an English restaurant.I actually visited the place for lunch quite some time ago but never got the time to write the review. Passed by this place a f

位於莊士敦道的The Pawn，前身為當舖，經重新翻新活化後變成今日的模樣。店內保留不少古舊陳設，又柔合現代化設備，環境別具特色。食物方面，三道菜的午餐$150+10%，計及環境，都算合理。甫坐下後，店方除提供冷熱水外，亦端上一籃麵包供選擇。麵包籃有兩款麵包，分別是普通麵包及麥包，溫度微暖，貌似自家製作。頭盤選了穀飼雞肉雜菌沙律，配以橄欖油作調味。沙律菜賣相都算新鮮，而且配料不少，穀飼雞肉亦能豐富沙律的單調田園味道。主菜烤羊肩肉質都算諗，切開後顏色呈微微粉紅。羊羶味不重，反而紅酒汁味道更搶口，整體味道OK。甜品選了健力士朱古力餅，口感味道都和Brownie有點相似。伴碟有兩小粒話梅，沾上少許酒香，都幾好味！

大年初二，繼續趁假期與老公享受美食。考慮下午要到港島東探朋友，就預訂了舊日和昌大押的The Pawn，必須要講整幢建築物充滿懷舊古典風，裝修佈置又骨致，來這裡享用午餐真興參觀完一幢古蹟無異!雖然餐廳可由大王東街的專用電梯，直接搭去1-3樓，不過是日二人先由底層祗月中的小樓梯，在印有The Pawn，以及since 1888的地磚留下足印後，才慢慢步上1/F的Living room。這一層的主題既是客廳，全層也真的有如豪宅人家的客廳，佈置古雅精緻，同時滲出一絲絲慵懶氣氛，是飲野吹水的好地方。參觀完一樓，趁時間尚早，又到了3樓的天台逛逛。The Pawn Roof是個透著天然光的大平台，亦是天價$50,000情人節餐的用餐地點，說著也真好奇今晚有沒有豪客預訂這裡呢? 由頂層又可眺望街下灣仔風光，假期當日繁華的街道也頓變清靜，看著別有一番風味。也是時間去到預約的2/F Dining room，去享用我倆的午餐了。這層格局十分fine-dining，與樓下Living Room的悠閒感，是兩種截然不同的感覺。店內又設海鮮吧，擺放著各式新鮮生蠔，不過二人只望了一眼後，就繼續前往真正的目的地---

餐廳原來已打烊，丈著朋友的大面子，還是可以坐到三樓的露天位置，吃甜品傾下計。朱古力蛋糕、蘋果酥餅外，還發現原來這裡也有不少砵酒供應，又叫來一杯襯甜品。幾款甜品中最喜歡是濃味的朱古力蛋糕，冬天吃也有補充熱量作用，然後小杯砵酒，這夜，是寫意亦輕鬆。

This is my second time visiting the Pawn, first time coming for my birthday dinner. On my second time, we came in a totally different occasion, just a casual early lunch with small group of friends, sitting on the terrace overlooking the busy streets of Wanchai.Coming without too much expectation for the food gives me a much better experience this time! I love their brunch-like lunch menu, which is perfect on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the Eggs benedict with loch fyne smoked salmon (very br

昨天是生日，香港過的第一個生日，儘管一個人，還是特意請了一天假，想悠閒地過一天。早上睜開眼已經10點過了，等我收拾、吃完早飯就過了11點了。出門後沒有計劃，從灣仔出發，一路走到了the pawn，周圍是擁擠的現代風格的大廈，the pawn顯得有點不和但氣質又很淡定，呵呵，好奇的我就順著那窄窄的樓梯走了進去。一上樓發現到了一樓的酒吧（酒吧當然沒有開業啦），有人正在拍攝照片，the pawn顯然是一個很適合攝像的地方，古典又現代，懷舊又時尚，很刻意地混搭，碰撞出一種藝術流的設計感，但我無法說和諧，感覺設計、裝飾是經過技術化處理的，畢竟還是吃喝的地方，放上餐桌、靠椅，吃的主題就遮蓋了室內裝飾的光彩，如果the pawn裡面再多一些前身大押的遺傳也許我會更喜歡，不過我想來這裡吃飯兩種目的，一是為了感受歷史與現代的碰撞同時飽腹，二是為了滿足味蕾的需要同時能給眼和心等其他感官以刺激，顯然the pawn更符合後者。二樓餐廳12點剛開始營業，我落座後，點了set lunch，沒有選擇坐在陽臺上，而是坐在廳裡，我也沒有選擇朝著窗外的風景坐，而是背對街景面向室內的吧台而坐，一切是下意識的，不過後面想來

Restaurants serving good British cuisine have always been rare commodities in Hong Kong but the recently opened, The Pawn, is poised to change this perception in a hurry. On paper, the Pawn certainly has what it takes. They have assembled an excellent team with a proven track record. Their executive chef, Dave Tamlyn, served as an apprentice to Marco Pierre White, who was best known for mentoring the famous Gordon Ramsay and their pastry chef has trained at The Wolseley, which was one of the mo

Went for drinks and bar food. (So this is not a review of their restaurant menu.) Wine selection was good -- relatively extensive for a bar-type place. We had steamed mussles and fried potatoes, and both dishes were quite high-quality.Ambience is nice -- but a bit too dark (you need a torch to read the menus - -and this is in the bar area!) The staff needs some remedial training in customer relations. Our server gave the distinct impression that we were impinging on her time and asking to
