Inside -
This is a Wine Bar x Bistro. It’s very casual. It’s the equivalent of an Italian Osteria x Enoteca, or a Japanese Izakaya for me. Organic French Natural Wines – Around $60 per glass are decently priced and we had a Rose and a Pinot Noir-Gamay. I have my own feeling towards natural wines but in general they do taste a lot juicier & fresher than the typical wines.

Steak Tartar with Egg Yolk – $110
Done exceptionally well in seasoning and being all chunkily beefy, I actually thought this was better than the ones I had in Paris this year using Charolais beef even. I recommend you to eat this by itself first, without scooping it onto the bread, as the flavour is much more pronounced this way. ~ 8/10

Boudin Noir with Root Vegetables – $100
This actually wasn’t my 1st visit to this shop as I came for Beaujolais Nouveau day as well and saw others ordering this, I knew it was precisely what I was looking for. This was meaty, has blood curds and infused with fat bits. It was really good though not so strong in the blood taste and once again, eat this sans the baguette maximizes the experience. Use the bread separately as a palate cleanser. Yum! ~ 9/10

Tartiflette - $100
I saw someone eat this before and swore I will come back to raid the shop for this, as it smells fantastic from the gratinated Reblochon cheese. Covered underneath are potatoes, lardon bacons and onion. This is just the perfect Winter dish and make u think u were at the French-Swiss-German mountain alps. They also serve Mont d’Or cheese here. ~ 9/10

Pain Perdu, aka French Toast – $65
The above appetizers were simple yet faultless, it’s not something you take for granted in HK. This Pain Perdu had a pretty good texture with a crispy baguette crust – it actually tasted decent but needed to be soaked in more eggs and vanilla component in my opinion. ~ 6.9/10

A lovely place with REAL French Bar Food. Will be back again very soon..
