For some reason I had a sudden craving for Eggs Benedict made the western way, so what better place than the Landmark Cafe right? Well let’s go and see. We got there around 9am on a Sunday morning when it opened and lined up in the que (must be really good 👍 with a que). We ordered 2 x breakfast meals which are served with a croissant and hot tea or coffee. You can add $10 for fresh juice as well, which we thought was a good deal.

We got there around 9am on a Sunday morning when it opened and lined up in the que (must be really good 👍 with a que).
We ordered 2 x breakfast meals which are served with a croissant and hot tea or coffee. You can add $10 for fresh juice as well, which we thought was a good deal.
We ordered:
• Steak and Eggs with Roasted Tomato - The steak was tender, but had no beef flavour as it frozen meat (this is well understood for the price), hence it was smothered with the sauce on top. The fried egg was slightly runny and the best things on the plate were the grilled tomato and string beans. It is well presented and reasonable for the price.
• Eggs Benedict with Bacon 🥓(take one 1️⃣) - When it arrived it looked the real deal with the toasted English Muffin and Hollandaise Sauce on top. Most places in HK substitute the English Muffin for sourdough bread, which just ain’t proper ! When I cut into the fluffy looking poached egg it was instead a hard boiled egg 🥚 the yolk was a like a stone and this was not acceptable. Usually I don’t like to complain, as firstly the chef might give your remade dish his special recipe sauce, and secondly, your remade dish goes to the back of the que and you need to wait even longer for it. However, an overcooked poached egg for an Eggs Benedict is unforgivable and I couldn’t ignore it. Therefore I pointed this out to the server and they immediately understood, apologised and offered to remake it (hope for the best).
• Eggs Benedict with Bacon 🥓 ( Take 2️⃣) - My new dish came back quicker than I expected and this time the poached egg was runny and cooked perfectly. The hollandaise sauce was creamy and smooth but lacking acidity (needed more lemon 🍋 juice. The bacon was shoulder back bacon, I prefer crispy streaky belly bacon as it is more tasty. This time the dish was acceptable, and considered ok.
We had to follow up with the croissants 🥐as they were not timely served. The croissants were hot and crispy. We added an orange juice and apple juice, both were ok but it seemed the apple juice may have been more fresh due to the foam on top. The hot tea and coffee was served last and a great way to finish our meal.
For the size of the meal, the price paid is value for money especially given the location. Customer service is good, and they were apologetic about the first take of my Eggs Benedict’s. I would definetly come back again due to the convenient location and the atmosphere of dining in the Landmark.
