This was my first time having French cuisine in Hong Kong. Like everybody else, I prefer to try something special out of Hong Kong. However, due to the pademic, I have to find special places to dine in Hong Kong with my family at Easter.

The restaurant is a cozy one. Do not expect the type of glamorous decoration. It is comfortable though. I had a booking at 6:30p.m. since I worried about the crowd. I believe that the menu is designed for people in Hong Kong. Not hard to understand at all.

Since there were only my mum, my sister and me, we only ordered a 3-course set for each. Since my mum likes oysters, we ordered two as a starter for her. Before we got the dish, we had a basket of buns. Taste very decent. We each ordered a different type of soup. Onion soup, lobster soup and bouillabaisse. The onion soup was a bit salty. The lobster soups was a bit bitter and the bouillabaosse was simply perfect.

For the main dish, the pork chop was out of stock. So, we ordered the French pigeon, the duck confit and the beef cheek. The duck confit was crunchy on the outside and moist from the inside. The pigeon was special and the smell was great. I would prefer the steak to the beef cheek next time.

For the dessert, we ordered icing fruit, chocolate lava cake and cream brulee. In general, I discovered that French desserts are very sweet. Hongkongers might find it a bit hard to finish them. The owner was nice enough to offer us a pot of hot tea to soften the sweetness.
