The long-awaited “Louise” is finally open! This delightful, fresh new restaurant has given us new reasons to head to PMQ. Chef Julien Royer, the same chef of Singapore’s legendary “Odette” has brought “Louise” to Hong Kong. Designer Andre Fu has again worked his magic by renovating the space previously occupied by “Aberdeen Street Social”; revamping what used to be a somber and dark interior by giving it a light and airy feel (the space even seems larger).. elegant beige with primary accent tone

Designer Andre Fu has again worked his magic by renovating the space previously occupied by “Aberdeen Street Social”; revamping what used to be a somber and dark interior by giving it a light and airy feel (the space even seems larger).. elegant beige with primary accent tones and rattan chairs.. makes one feel as if one has been invited to dine at the countryside weekend home of a stylish French lady..
Stepping into the restaurant we were immediately welcomed by the friendly maitre d’, who led us to our table upstairs. We were there for a weekend lunch, and the sunlight from the terrace lights up the room giving a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere; the focal point of the dining area is the open kitchen, where you can see the dedicated and hands-on head chef orchestrating the well-run kitchen.
The food exceeded all expectations.. we ordered from the à la carte menu and we were not disappointed. From the tender sautéed “Hong Kong frog’s legs”, the delicately-seasoned sweetbread, to the succulent octopus à la plancha- all was full of flavour and freshness, with very decent portions (we didn’t even have room for dessert!)
Service was discreet, attentive and unobtrusive- they definitely got it right.
All around, a really enjoyable dining experience- I can’t wait to go back for dinner to experience the evening setting.. I imagine “Louise” would make an intimate and romantic date-night venue with the lady...
