Easy to make a reservation, a nice dinner with a large group of friends. Beautiful decor and ambience, great food and coffee. Best place I've been to eat and have coffee in Hong Kong. The coffee is awesome. There are many to try from, and if you aren't a coffee drinker the hot chocolate or other non caff drinks are great. The fav coffee is the latte, mocha, coffee and espressos. They are doing so many different types of coffee, siphon, machine, filter -- All of them are so good, just up to what
The coffee is awesome. There are many to try from, and if you aren't a coffee drinker the hot chocolate or other non caff drinks are great. The fav coffee is the latte, mocha, coffee and espressos. They are doing so many different types of coffee, siphon, machine, filter -- All of them are so good, just up to what you prefer. Most definitely the best coffee cafe Hong Kong has to offer, way over 18g low quality and def on par and even nicer than Barista Jam. The taste just beats them all, and the ambience and the overall service is superb.
Ordered a la carte and set menus and were able to share everything. Had a glass of house wine - excellent choice. The starters were perfect, excellent salad and soup and bread was served with olive oil. The best appetizer was the creamed mushrooms. Delicious and creamy this delivered with a side of garlic bread. Could have just munched on this the whole evening. The mains were great. Tried all pastas. Favourite was the coffee pasta (super creative and rich) and the risotto was nice too. All very Italian (legitimate) except the risotto was done a bit differently and not as al dente as an Italian place in Italy might serve, but it was still delicious and made it on to the favs list. The presentation for all the food was lovely, didn't skimp on anything and the flavours all meld very well together.
Dessert was amazing. The tiramisu served as lady fingers with the rest of the ingredients was delicious. Brownie and ice cream and panna cotta were great - hotel 5 star quality overall. I was amazed with this place. Will be going back again and again, the price for the meal and presentation is an excellent value and the coffee is the best I've had in a while, and I'm just back from the USA.
I know they also offer classes and have a place in TST on Ashley Road, Barita Cafe (not to be confused with the one in Sheung Wan). Barista Cafe has great coffee as well and I heard the last winner on the hong kong barista competition works there. Makes sense, their coffee kicks @ss.
