French cafe music, French-speaking customers warmly greeting each other, the terrace is completely open to create a street cafe atmosphere (minus the reality of old building view outside, but the contrast itself is kind of fun in its own HK way ) the cider is highly recommended by the waiter and we would agree . But the tea was mediocre and costed a hefty 30HKD extra, which put my crepe + tea bill above his salad+crepe+dessert set . So drinks/sides are recommended to be ordered with set instead

the cider is highly recommended by the waiter and we would agree . But the tea was mediocre and costed a hefty 30HKD extra, which put my crepe + tea bill above his salad+crepe+dessert set . So drinks/sides are recommended to be ordered with set instead of individually for best value.
the crepes (or galette, technically called, since they are savory crepes and not the sweet ones) were great combinations of meaty, buckwheat healthiness and freshness of the ingredients (olive, eggs, etc) the crepes seemed thin and small-portioned but we were actually quite full afterwards. Overall flavor profile is a bit on the tame side, would be nice to have some herb punch or vinaigrette/arugula salad on the side to wake up the senses a bit.Time feels slower here, I definitely did not want to head back to work after lunch Just want to call up another tea or sip on some cider and maybe read a book for rest of the afternoon~
