I had the pleasure of visiting Jean May during their soft opening. Jean May is tucked behind a few flower stalls on Gresson Street in Wanchai. The restaurants decor and surrounding area reminds me of the cute bistros you would see in Europe. The menu is on the black chalk board and the staff are eager to explain the dishes to you and share their recommendations.

As my friend and I were feeling particularly hungry, we ordered most of the dishes on the menu. For starters, I would strongly recommend the chicken liver parfait, razor clams, and the steak tartare. All perfectly executed dishes. The oyster with the cucumber and dill sauce is also super refreshing. For main, I really enjoyed the salmon. Make sure to leave room for the lemon tart which is perfectly done - not too sweet and just the way I like it.
Tiffany, the head chef, trained under Pierre Koffmann, the legendary three star Michelin chef. You can tell Tiffany has put a lot of thought into sourcing the ingredients and preparing the dishes. She even bakes her own bread!
Service is also spectacular and friendly. HK really lacks places like Jean May. It’s one of those “neighborhood gems” you want to visit frequently.
I’m already looking forward to going back again soon!
