I was in this area of Quarry Bay to do some errands. But as I arrived just as the place still hadn't returned for lunch, I decided to eat nearby while waiting. Looking about I found a place called Campsite. A camping themed restaurant.It was quite nice looking inside.

It was quite nice looking inside. A lot of wood and seating was spacious.
During lunch time they only had a lunch menu available. Set includes a soup and salad, main and drink.
As it was a camping themed restaurant, they served the drinks in these tin cups that you find in all the camping equipment stores. I had an ice lemon tea and well ... it was sweetened at all. I believe they forgot to give me the syrup as a stirrer was provided for me as an after thought. I asked for syrup but it never came. So, I was stuck with bland tea and a couple of lemons.
The soup of the day was cream of carrot. It was decent enough. A good carrot taste that was creamy and smooth.
The salad came with a slice of bread. Salad greens were fresh and dressed with a basic balsamic.
For my main I chose Dutch Oven Mussels Pasta ($268). The pasta was served on a separate plate and was a decent portion size. You get a pot of half a kilo of mussels. The mussels were cooked with lemongrass, giving it a more Asian twist. They were fresh. The only problem was the pasta. It was bland, only tossed with a bit of oil. I assume I was to toss the pasta with the delicious mussels broth. But the only problem was the mussels were in the way and I wasn't provided with a plate like most places to toss my empty shells. My only choice was to either eat the pasta first and use that plate for the empty shells or just toss the shells on the table like I was at a dai pai dong. It felt a bit odd if I was paying $300 for lunch so I ended up eating the pasta first and scooped as much of the broth onto it as I could.
Food was not that good though the mussels were fine. Though it is hard to mess up mussels. Would not be back.
