Who doesn’t love a good beef Wellington?! Having tried the luxuriously overwhelming one from Rex Wine & Grill, I was looking for a simple traditional version. As recommended by 🐻, I set my eyes on the Mandarin Grill + Bar.
Tried their brunch menu. Booking wasn’t too terrible for weekend brunch. Less than a month wait now is kind of a miracle.
Was too greedy so we ordered 3 appetizers to share. The 4 oysters did not look good but turned out to be great. Super fresh. Don’t add their vinaigrette as it’s super duper sour. Just enjoy the oysters as they are.
The lobster bisque was super rich with loads of lobster chunks. The only thing is that it was not warm enough.
Their signature smoked salmon was with a good smoked flavor yet not overpowering or salty.
Then came the beef W
wellington. As we just added on with the brunch menu, it was a rather thin slice instead of the al carte size. The cook was superb with the perfect pinky medium. The beef was super tender. The pastry was flaky at first but it got soggy quickly with the sauce which was a bit disappointing.
The side dishes were below average. The beans were very salty. The mash was not buttery enough.
Desserts and the Madeline were merely average.
Overall, I think I should opt for al carte instead of the brunch menu. Have to come back again to order their beef wellington al carte to give it a fair comment.
Price: HK$1100 (Brunch with beef wellington)
Revisit: 7/10 (Have better options for brunch)
