To celebrate our wedding anniversary, we decided to try one of the most artistic restaurants in HK, Tate Dinning. The head chef is being rated as one of the best female chefs in Asia, Vicky Lau, who is well known for her dishes' artisitc presentation. Tate Dinning offers two types of chef menu dinner, 6 or 8 summer course selection. My wife decided the 6 course while I went for the 8. The restaurant is located at Central district and only has around 10 tables with open kitchen. There are 5
The restaurant is located at Central district and only has around 10 tables with open kitchen. There are 5 chefs working diligently all the time. Setting is very comfortable but the lighting seems a bit dim. We arrived at 8pm and we didnt finish the whole dinner until around 11pm. The whole experience is very pleasant, from the service, timing, explanation, food quality, and of course the presentation. (Please check the photos and the menu) We enjoyed very much all the way. I am in particular impressed with the Langoustine dish. The texture of the rissoto along with the slight curry oil flavour and perfect cooked langoustine make this such an amazing dish. For my 8 course dinner, it comes with an extra matsutake mushroom dish in between Langoustine and Kagoshima Beef main course. But, I am a bit questioning about the choice of this dish as it seems disturb the flow of the course in terms of the flavor. The strong matsutake seems overpower the taste of the kagoshima beef that come next. I rather have the fish, then risotto, and then the beef directly. I believe somehow chef Vicky decides to fit in this dish to distinguish between the 6 course set. That would be just my personal opinion. The rest of the dishes are all very well prepared. However, the taste of some dishes may not be the absolute top class or as delicate (as I have been to almost all HK michelin star restaurants) while compared to other star french restaurants. For instance, the Lavender peach dessert is a bit blend in taste.
If you are looking for fast serving, huge portion type of dinning experience, Tate Dinning may not suit you as you need to be a bit patient and enjoy the presentation. However, 8 course dinner with additional welcome snacks and bread in between will definitely fill you up for sure. As I said, we fully enjoyed the whole experience and I would definitely recommend anyone looking for romantic and artistic food presentation to give it a try.
